Obituary of Clive ELLOR

CLIVE HALL ELLOR The family of Clive Hall Ellor; wife Bernice, daughters Candy, Morna, Margot and (Rob), Nan (Don) is sad to announce his passing Monday, April 6th, 2009. All important to Clive were his four daughters; his grandchildren, Darcy (Stacy), Julia and Ian, Cara and Heidi(Nelson), Heather (Steve). Clive also enjoyed his great grandchildren Ashley, Britney, Liam & Eva. He was predeceased by his parents Percy and Mamie Ellor, sisters Eileen Holmes, Betty Anderson (survived by husband Ole), nieces and nephews Judy, Rick, Laurie, Rennie and their families. "Wedded Bliss and Never a Harsh Word", Clive's famous quote regarding 64 years with Bernice. His ready smile and warm spirit and sense of humor will be missed by many. Among them, long time friend Ken Hunt of Hay River, N.W.T. and loyal friend Ray Gostick (Bernice's cousin). As a boy Clive was independent and resourceful searching out jobs even when they were scarce during the depression. In the early 40's Clive worked for The Bay as a weather monitor, at various northern posts including Baffin Island. After a short stint in the Army, he returned to The Bay and soon became a buyer of men's clothing for the north. Nine years later rejecting a transfer to Montreal he began a new career as an Employment Counselor at the Society for Crippled Children and Adults (Now S.M.D.). He spent over 20 years in this field, retiring in 1980. Many thanks to the caring staff of Kildonan Personal Care Centre. Memorial Service to be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. on Saturday, April 11th, at 1:00 p.m. Private family interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Society for Manitobans with Disabilities or Sunshine Fund or charity of your choice.
