Obituary of Edward Eugene Beckwith

EDWARD EUGENE BECKWITH (1936-2018)

Peacefully on March 14, 2018 in Smiths Falls, with family by his side. Born in Trenton, Ont and in his 82nd year. Predeceased by his loving wife of 36 years, (Ethel) Fay Beckwith (Eamer).

Stepfather to Chris (Connie), Richard (Tory), Sandra (Dan), and Kathy (Shawn). "Pappy Eddy" to his grandchildren, Alex, Lindsay, Courtney, Jennifer and Tamara, and three great-grandchildren, Keydan, Kaeson and Carter. 

Predeceased by his grandson Nicholas Davis, parents Jean and Charles Beckwith. Brother to Glen Beckwith (Joan), Janet Linton (John deceased), Linda Phillips (Fred), Arlene King (Ken), and Judith Sonnenburg (George). Predeceased by siblings Ken Beckwith (Shirley), Grace Saunders (Lionel), and June Purdy.

Over the years, Ed enjoyed visits with his many nieces, nephews, and their children. He will be fondly remembered for teasing and goofing around with those he knew (and those he didn't!). Ed could take a ribbing for being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, as long as he had a Timmies in hand.

Also remembered for his many years at C&D Batteries (Perth), and for delivering mail for Canada Post for many years in the Jasper area. He brought both life and laughter to Rideau Ferry Country Home, and Broadview Nursing Home in his last years.

Friends are invited to join the family for a Celebration of Life at Lannin Funeral Home on Saturday, March 24th, 2018 2:00-4:00pm.  As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario or Tim Horton Children's Foundation would be appreciated.
