Baird, Ellen Myrtle (nee Krohn)
Passed away peacefully at Joseph Brant Hospital on Friday, May 29th, 2020, one day shy of her 95th birthday. Beloved wife of the late Neil Andrew Baird (1989). Loving mother to Neil (Sharon), Bonnie and Sandra (Bill). Cherished grandmother to Karen (Tyler Redman), Jonathan and Sally. Great grandmother to Ella and Harvey Redman. Ellen is survived by her sister Ethel Robinson of Clearwater, BC and predeceased by her four brothers; Lloyd, Norman, Louis and Karl. Ellen will be dearly missed by her many nieces, nephews, and friends out west, as well as her faithful friend Gord Campbell of Hamilton and friends and relatives of the Baird Clan.
Ellen was born in the small town of Shaunavan, Saskatchewan. After high school, Ellen left the prairies to attend school to become a Registered Nurse (1948) in Hamilton, Ontario and was a proud and dedicated nurse with 29 years of service to the Government of Ontario.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of Joseph Brant Hospital who cared for our mom during the pandemic restrictions. Your compassion and “face time” helped keep us aware of her care and the special treatment you gave her.
A private family burial will take place at White Chapel Cemetery, Hamilton on Friday June 5, 2020.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Frontline workers charities of your area or Hospital of your choice.
