Condolence: Like many “student” employees, Mrs. Wilson was my first real boss. From 1975 to 1980 I had the pleasure of working in the Lingerie Department of the T. Eaton Co. Limited (Eaton’s) while I finished high school, then put myself through four years of university. As student employees, we were always expected to conduct ourselves with the same degree of professionalism as the full time staff. For me, it was also my first experience in gaining an understanding of how business works. I learned many valuable lessons from Mrs. Wilson - including the fact that life isn’t always fair. She was a woman of great stature and charisma and was always addressed as “Mrs. Wilson” - rarely, if ever, “Doreen”. The exception was Vivian McCullagh, whom I also had the pleasure of working with during that period. She had a flair for making things happen - there was never a dull moment. And, she had a wonderful way of turning the dullest of rainy days into something brighter by chiming, “Maybe the rain will draw the customers in!”. Classic Mrs. Wilson. She was a great story teller. One of my favourites was the time some relatives from Northern Ireland visited the area. As they entered the store, they immediately raised their arms! When I asked why, she told me they were expecting to be frisked(!) - as people in Northern Ireland often were, particularly during that period. She’d scold me if I strayed (legitimately I assure you) from the department. When I graduated from university and moved on to work with Xerox Canada, she presented me with a three foot length of heavy gauge chain - which I still have in my possession today. I met her husband a couple of times and often ruminated on the fact that, to me, he seemed a very fortunate fellow indeed to have landed such a great catch. During the many years I lived in the Calgary area, I ran into Mrs. Wilson while visiting family in Thunder Bay. I was pleased to see she still carried herself with the same grace and elegance - and hadn’t changed a bit. She will be remembered. Lori Ann Edwards Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia
