DEATHS

J.BRUCEMARTIN
April 2,1937
(Galashiels, Scotland)
October 6, 2019
(Toronto)

Bruce passed away peacefully
at Kensington Gardens after
a lengthy illness. He was
predeceased by his parents, and
sister Iris. Arriving in Canada in
his 20s, he was, for many years,
a researcher and scriptwriter for
the CBC’s The Nature of Things,
including such episodes as “Secret
Fears: Overcoming Phobias”,
“The Sleep Famine” and “Monkey
Business”. Bruce was a constant
fount of ideas for feature films -
his notes (in his distinctive, loopy
handwriting) filled hundreds of
journals - but the only one of his
scripts to reach the big screen was
filmed in Italy (starring Joanna
Pacula) and released (in 1992) as
the horror/slasher feature “Body
Parts”. In addition to his love
of the macabre, Bruce was also
a fan of (in no particular order)
chimpanzees, Danny Kaye, The
Goon Show, walking, Cole Porter,
house plants, Richard Wagner,
cooking (scampi and puttanesca
sauce his specialties), and
Weimaraners (especially Strauss
and Groucho). Bruce was much
beloved by his friends, who will
miss him - his gothic tastes, his
smart-ass rejoinders and his sense
of humour - terribly.

MARYELLENMCDONOUGH
January 16, 1947
October 17, 2019

Our beloved Mary Ellen died
surrounded by her loving family
on October 17, 2019, at Kensington
Hospice in Toronto, Ontario. She
had, with bravery and dignity,
generosity and good humour,
lived with multiple myeloma for
several years before it took her
from us, but not her spirit which
will live on with her daughters,
Kathryn and Sarah Carpentier,
and their husbands respectively,
Robert Whillans and Jonathan
Popalis; her chosen son, Kris
Kaplan and his wife, Kimberly
Kaplan; her husband and partner
of 47 years, Russell Carpentier;
her grandchildren, Samuel,
Josephine, Matthew and Hannah;
and the many who love her.
Mary Ellen was born and grew
up in Cooperstown, New York.
After completing high school at
School of the Holy Child in Rye,
N.Y., she attended Columbia
University, Barnard College, from
which she graduated with a
degree in psychology in 1969. She
later completed a post-graduate
program at the University of
Toronto’s Institute for Children’s
Studies in 1977.
Children and their families were
the central focus of Mary Ellen’s
life. Whether as mother, wife,
aunt, nana, friend, neighbour,
counsellor, teacher or colleague,
she had a special ability to
communicate “I believe in you,
I trust in you, I believe you can
handle this, You are listened
to, You are cared for, You are
important to me.” Those who
know her will tell you this is all
true. Mary Ellen taught primary
school in Toronto for many years
including Downtown Alternative
School, Niagara Street Public
School and King Edward Public
School. Prior to her teaching
career Mary Ellen provided
counselling to teens in difficult
circumstances, supervised child
care workers in group homes for
children and adolescents, and
was a President of the Board
of Directors of Interval House,
Canada’s first centre for abused
women and their children.
A gathering to celebrate Mary
Ellen’s life will be held on
November 9, 2019, from 12:00 p.m.
until 3:00 p.m. at the Oakview
Terrace Reception Centre in
Richmond Hill, Ontario. Words of
remembrance will be at 1:00 p.m.
For those who wish, donations to
Kensington Hospice in Toronto or
Interval House in Toronto in Mary
Ellen’s name would be appreciated.
