Deeply saddened are her beloved and devoted husband of 63 years, Donald Jardine, and their dear son James Donald (Vicki). Grammy will be missed by her precious grandchildren, James and Kristine. Predeceased by brother Leslie Hagerman (Irma) and sister Marion. Loving aunt to Robert Hagerman (Suzanne and daughter Michelle), Joan Hagerman (daughter Kimberley) and Bruce Hagerman. Also aunt to Don�s nieces and nephews: Susan Connell, David (deceased) and Earle Parrish (Joanne), Jane Kilthei and Nancy Cocks. Born in 1918, Eleanor grew up in Saskatoon and was the President of the student body of Household Science when she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan. She worked as a dietitian at the University of Toronto, on wartime nutrition for the troops, and was Assistant Superintendent of the Hart House Dining Hall where she met Don, a fellow Westerner from the Hat! A heart-felt thank you to her wonderful doctors, especially Alan Fegelman, Stanley Feinberg and Russell Tanzer, the nurses of NYGH and the terrific care-givers from Senior Lifestyle Solutions. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue on Thursday, November 9th from 6-8 p.m. A private family service will be held on Saturday, November 11th at ST. JOHN�S YORK MILLS ANGLICAN CHURCH, 19 Don Ridge Drive. Internment at a later date in the family cemetery at Hagerman Corners near Unionville. In lieu of flowers, it would be greatly appreciated if friends, planning an expression of remembrance, would consider North York General Hospital or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario.
