Edith Mary Battersea born in Nuneaton England died July 26, 2010 at the age of 88 at her residence (Extendicare/Landmark) in Cobourg. At her request no formal service will be held. A small gathering of friends and family will be scheduled at a later time. Edith was an exceptionally kind person. Everybody that had the pleasure of knowing her admired her for her sense of humour, her kind nature and for the never-ending support and help she gave to her family and friends. Edith's special joy included her regular scrabble games. Edith is loved and will be missed by all. Edith was a devoted wife to her husband John Terrance Battersea (pre-deceased). She is survived by her son and his wife Clive & Celine; her daughter Jacquline Manning and partner Richard Sherman; daughter and husband Suzanne & Laurie Brown; six grandchildren Kim & Kelly Battersea, Tammy Manning, Steven, Cheryl (Todish) and Jennifer Brown; nine great grand children and three great-great grand children. The family would like to thank all those at Extendicare/Landmark for the care and kindness shown during Edith's entire stay right to her passing. Edith spoke highly of the staff and the friends she found at her home.
