Sandra Ruth Byers (nee Garbutt)
1948 - 2026
June 21, 1948 - August 12th, 2026.

It is with sadness for us, yet joy for her promotion, that we announce Sandra Ruth Byers (nee Garbutt) passed away at the Temiskaming Lodge in New Liskeard and moved on to Heaven, peacefully and surrounded by her loving family, on Wednesday, August 12th, 2026 at the age of 78.

Sandra was predeceased by her husband, William 'Gordon' Byers; parents, June (Hamilton) and Norman Garbutt; sister, Lynn (Garbutt) MacDonald; nephew, officer Andrew MacDonald; and her great grandson, Liam Byers.

She leaves behind her 3 sons, Bill (Holly) Byers, Richard Byers, and Rev. Chris (Jenn) Byers; 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, all of whom would brighten her day even amidst severe memory issues.

She'll also be missed greatly by her brothers, Bob (Jennifer) Garbutt, Bill (Linda) Garbutt; brother-in-law, Rev. Joe (late Lynn/ Barb) MacDonald; and almost countless nieces, nephews, and cousins in both the Byers and Garbutt families.

Sandra was born June 21st, 1948, in Toronto to June (Hamilton) and Norman Garbutt. She attended Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener, where she met and quickly married her life long love, Gord Byers, on July 27, 1966. They were nearly inseparable for 54 years until his passing in 2020.

Through the years, she helped with various ministry and business ventures across Ontario and Prince Edward Island, including nursing and retirement homes, farm and store owner, and she often acted as cook, planner, secretary, book keeper, pastor's wife, mother, or whatever job title needed filling at the time. She also had her real estate license and sold properties in the Hamilton area in the late 1980's. Out of all her jobs, her favorites by far we're always Mom and Nana. She loved children and family, including church family, and loved large gatherings. The bigger and noisier, the better!

In later years, Sandra and Gord settled in Belle Vallee, ON, and often hosted friend and family gatherings for any in the area, 25 people for supper on a Friday night was a common occurrence. She loved her church family at Temiskaming Church in Haileybury and could never have enough social gatherings there.

More than anything in life, even more than her beloved husband Gordon, was her love for Jesus, her Lord and Savior, in whose loving arms she now rests in.

Celebration of Life for Sandra Byers will be held on
Saturday August 15th, 2026 at the Temiskaming Church, West Rd Haileybury.
Commencing at 1:00pm
Pastor Nick Kostyc will lead the service.
A light luncheon will be provided after the service at the church for attendees.

Donations in Sandra's memory may be made to her church, Temiskaming Church, at: [email protected]

Sandra's care has been entrusted to Buffam Leveille Funeral Home.

May 31, 1950 – August 9, 2026
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Donna "Joyce" Visser (née Bilow), who passed away peacefully on August 9, 2026, at the Temiskaming Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.

Joyce was predeceased by her parents, Ethel and Fred Bilow, and her brothers Aaron, Gary, Wayne, and Auldin.
She leaves behind her beloved husband, Dave; her daughters, Angela and Wanita; her cherished grandchildren, Charalynn "Charli" (David), Shane, and Dawna "Diji"; and her precious great-grandchildren, who brought so much love and joy to her life.

Joyce will also be deeply missed by her sister, Barb (late Bill); brothers Donnie (Cindy) and Ronnie (Dawn); as well as her many loving nieces and nephews, brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law. And, of course, there is Dakota, her beloved fur-baby, who will surely feel the absence of her love and companionship.

Above all else, Joyce lived for her family. She put her heart and soul into the people she loved, always going above and beyond and willing to lend a hand however she could. Her love could be found in so many of the little things that became treasured family traditions… the incredible raspberry bushes she grew, her infamous homemade jams, and the cozy knitted socks and mittens that appeared as gifts throughout the year. Each pair was made with its recipient in mind, often with little touches of personalization woven in, making every gift uniquely theirs. While still carrying a little piece of her, they weren't simply things she made; they were little pieces of Joyce and a reminder of her love, created especially for the people she held dear.

Joyce also shared a special and deeply personal relationship with God. Her faith was an important part of who she was and what she believed, providing a foundation throughout her life. Those who loved her can find comfort in knowing that the faith she carried so dearly throughout her life carried her home.

Those who knew Joyce will remember her unmistakable personality. She was funny and sarcastic, direct and honest, and wonderfully herself. You rarely had to wonder what Joyce was thinking… she had a voice, and she wasn't afraid to use it. But behind that honesty and wit was an enormous heart and a woman whose family meant everything to her.

It is difficult to imagine our family without her voice, her humour, her honesty, and the countless ways she showed her love. The things she made may eventually wear out, the last jar of jam may someday be finished, but the love she put into them… and into all of us… will remain.

Joyce's heart, her humour, her faith, and her unmistakable presence will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of loving her.

In keeping with Joyce's wishes, cremation will take place and an interment to follow at a later date.

Joyce's care has been entrusted to Buffam Leveille Funeral Home. Condolences and tributes can be shared at www.buffamleveille.com

With deep sadness, the family announces the passing of Mrs. Louise Burrows at the age of 85 years. Mrs. Burrows passed away at the Temiskaming Hospital, on Thursday August 6, 2026, listening to the sound of Jerry playing his guitar.

Born December 10, 1940, in Sydney, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late Charles Heffler and the late Winnifred Mann and sister of the late Al Heffler. Louise will be remembered as an avid reader and a gifted knitter—able to craft an Irishman's sweater without a pattern. Quiet yet strong, supportive, and remarkably organized, she embodied grace and devotion throughout her life.

Louise was married to the love of her life, Gerald "Jerry" Burrows, for 66 years, and was by his side always. She was known to say, "I hooked my life on Jerry's star, and it has been a pretty good ride." Together, they spent 25 summers living and working at Camp Wabikon on Lake Temagami, a youth camp they cherished deeply.

Mrs. Burrows is survived by her loving and devoted husband Gerald "Jerry" Burrows; their children Shawn Burrows, Terry (Debby Larochelle‑Burrows), and Judie (Charles Martin); her beloved grandchildren Kate Martin, Eric Martin (fiancée Emilie Scott), Eli Martin and Leah Hamel; great‑grandson Jacob Martin (Logan Douglas).

Mrs. Burrows' final care and arrangements have been entrusted to Buffam Leveille Funeral Home. As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made to the Temiskaming Hospital. Condolences and tributes may be shared at www.buffamleveille.com.

Elinor Armstrong (née Richardson) passed away peacefully at the age of 88, leaving behind a love for her family and a legacy of community service, adventure, and generosity. She was born on April 26, 1938, in Timmins, Ontario, to Florice (nee Fournier) and George Richardson.

When Elinor was very young, the family moved to Martin River, where they purchased a tourist camp. As a small child, she would board the bus each week, travelling to North Bay and returning home to her parents on weekends. Those early years taught her independence, resilience, and adaptability. Her parents instilled in her an appreciation for nature and the meaning of hard work. It was also there she met Rodney Armstrong, whom she married and built a life wit in New Liskeard, where they raised their three children: Kathy, Jayne, and David.

Elinor devoted much of her life to serving her community. She spent 25 years with the Canadian Cancer Society, rising to the top of the Ontario Division Fundraising and contributing to the Terry Fox campaign. A passionate aviator, she earned her pilot's licence in the late '80s and would often be seen flying her small blue float plane around her beloved Twin Lakes cottage area. She helped build and operate the local TEMSAR branch of CASARA (Civil Air Search and Rescue Association), ultimately becoming one of Ontario's Head Search Masters, coordinating aircraft search operations alongside military personnel. She also proudly served as a Police Commissioner for the New Liskeard town police for a number of years.

She had an extraordinary gift for decorating and entertaining and an impeccable sense of fashion. Whether it was a holiday celebration, a family gathering, or a special occasion, Elinor created beautiful spaces, delicious food, and unforgettable memories. She believed in celebrating life and welcoming people with warmth, generosity, and style. She was known for her annual August 1st barbecue at Twin Lakes and her famous butter tarts at the fall car show at Armstrong Motors. She loved travel, fine dining, gardening, sewing, and learning new skills, never allowing traditional expectations to limit her ambitions.

Elinor's legacy lives on in the family she cherished, the traditions she created, and the lessons she taught simply by the way she lived. She was a devoted grandmother to Mina Burnside, Alexandria Burnside, Kate Armstrong, and Rachel Armstrong, and a great-grandmother to Lennox Goldsack. Elinor was a loving mother whose kindness, strength, and adventurous spirit inspired everyone who knew her. She lived a full and meaningful life and faced its end with grace. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and the many lives she touched.

Visitation will be held at New Liskeard First Baptist Church
on Friday, August 14th, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
with the funeral on Saturday, August 15th, at 11:00 a.m., with a luncheon to follow.

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that the family of Gail Thompson (née Arney) announces her peaceful passing on July 29, 2026 at Temiskaming Hospital.

Born in Kirkland Lake, she moved to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories as a young girl. While there, she was homeschooled by her dad until the move to North Cobalt at the age of 9. She had many fond memories of her childhood and loved to share stories of her adventures including her pet skunk (never sprayed once!), pig and bunny.

She began her working life as a Lumber Inspector for Hill Clark Francis at the age of 16. She enjoyed detailing to her family how adept she was at accurate measurements and quality control. She also worked as a telephone operator for Northern Telephone where she met the love of her life, Glen Thompson. They married in 1964 and were overjoyed to begin their family four years later.
Predeceased by beloved husband, Glen and her parents Vince and Edna Arney; her brothers Glenn, Walter, Earl, and Dan; and her cherished son-in-law James Smyth, Gail carried their memories with her throughout her life.

After a brief and unexpected cancer diagnosis, Gail passed away peacefully, surrounded by her three daughters and the immense love she so freely gave to others throughout her life. She faced her diagnosis with the same grace, strength, and quiet practicality that defined the way she lived.

Gail lived a life rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. For over 50 years she was a proud and dedicated member of the Lioness Club, giving countless hours to her community and quietly supporting those in need. She held the positions of President, Treasurer and Director, yet her greatest impact with the club was the many friendships she made. Through volunteering, lending a helping hand, or sharing what she had with others, Gail believed there was always enough to give. Her generous heart and unwavering commitment to helping others left an enduring mark on everyone. She had a way of connecting with every person who was blessed to have known her.

To countless children, she was simply "Auntie Gail." Over the years, she lovingly cared for many little ones, welcoming them into her home and her heart. A recent conversation tallied 34 children that were loved and potty trained by Auntie. She found her greatest joy with children gathered around her, filling her home with laughter and unconditional love. She had a remarkable gift for making every child feel safe, special, and deeply loved.

Above all else, Gail's greatest pride was her family. She leaves behind her three devoted daughters: Karen Smyth (Al Roy), Paula Walker (Geoff), and Lorna Desmarais (Jay). She will be forever cherished by her beloved grandchildren, Liam (Aria), Kenzie, Anna, Sam, Miriam, and Elsie, and by her precious great-granddaughter, Isla Smyth. Her love, humour, wisdom, and gentle presence will remain with them always.

The family wishes to express its deepest gratitude to the compassionate staff at both Health Sciences North and Temiskaming Hospital. Angels truly walk among us in the form of physicians, nurses and personal support workers, whose kindness, dignity, and exceptional care brought comfort not only to Gail but to all who loved her and were with her in her brief hospitalizations. Their compassion will never be forgotten.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that Gail's legacy lives on in every act of kindness, every glass of white wine shared, and every family gathering from this day forward. She taught us that love is best shown through laughter, time together, generosity, and putting others before ourselves. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Family and friends are invited to gather on Saturday, September 5, 2026 at Buffam Leveille Funeral Home for visitation from 1:00-3:00 p.m., followed by Words of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. at 251 Shepherdson Road, Temiskaming Shores.

In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Gail's memory may wish to consider a donation to the Temiskaming Shores Lioness Lions, Box 926, New Liskeard, P0J 1P0. This is in keeping with Gail's long service to her community.

Mrs. Thompson's final care has been entrusted to the Buffam Leveille Funeral Home. Condolences and tributes may be shared at www.buffamleveille.com

It is with profound sadness the family announces the peaceful passing of Giuseppe (Joseph) Tittonel at the Temiskaming Hospital on July 21, 2026, at the age of 94.

Beloved husband of Anna (Simoni) Tittonel for 71 years. Loving father of Silvano (Irene) and Dolores (Gilles). Cherished Nonno of Michael (Amanda), Robert (Emma), and Gabrielle (Ben). Dear great-grandfather of Matilda, Milly, Calvin, Edward, and Malcolm. Predeceased by his parents; four sisters and two brothers; his good friend and brother-in-law, Bruno Simoni; his sister-in-law, Geraldine Simoni; his loving niece, Sonya Simoni; and grand-nephew, Nicholas Rivard. Sadly missed and fondly remembered by his nephews, Ugo and Steven Simoni, and their families, as well as many extended family members in Italy. Also, a special thank you to his devoted friends and neighbours, Ali Neill, Patti Douglas, Charlie and Fernande Fortin, and the Torresan family. Their loving care and friendship will never be forgotten.

Joseph was born to Giuseppe Tittonel and Elisa Pradal in the northern Italian village of Pieve di Soligo, Treviso, Italy, on November 23, 1931. On May 30, 1952, at the age of 21, Joseph left his parents and six siblings behind in search of adventure and a new life in Canada. After a two-week voyage across the Atlantic on the ship SS Argentina, Joseph arrived at Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He then made his way to the northern Ontario mining town of Cobalt. His fiancée, Anna, joined him a few years later. They were married in Cobalt, where they lived the rest of their lives, raising their family.

Joseph worked as a mining machinist in and around the Cobalt area and Québec mines for 30 years. He was forced to retire in 1985 due to a serious industrial accident. He then became known as "Joe of All Trades" and often helped family, friends, and neighbours with plumbing, electrical jobs, and home improvements. Joseph was famous for his September winemaking sessions in the "cantina" of his garage, where many neighbours learned the art of winemaking. He took special pride in sharing his wine and taste-testing it with his friends, too! He was also most eager to share with family and friends the bountiful tomatoes, lettuce, and fragrant garlic he and his friend Ali Neill grew in his backyard garden. Joseph and his family spent many summers at his friend Albert Chitaroni's Portage Bay Lodge on the Montreal River, a peaceful and picturesque haven where he loved to fish. The tall tales of the big pike and pickerel he caught with his son Silvano, grandchildren Mike, Rob, and Gabby, and nephews Ugo and Steve were legendary.

Although his roots were Italian, Joseph was very proud of his Canadian citizenship, and above all, he loved Cobalt. To the very end, he remained extremely grateful to be Canadian and thankful for the opportunities his adopted country offered his family.

The Tittonel family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses, paramedics, and staff at Temiskaming Hospital for their compassion and support. An extra special thank you to Dr. Steve Sears, Dr. Davies, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Besner, hospital PSWs Rachel, Janette, Esther, and Mike, as well as PSWs Elizabeth and Emily from Closing the Gap, for their thoughtful and gentle care.

In keeping with Joseph's wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private celebration of life will be held by the family at a later date. Joseph's care has been entrusted to Buffam Leveille Funeral Home. Condolences and tributes can be shared at www.buffamleveille.com.

May Joseph rest in eternal peace. His memory will remain a treasured gift to all those who knew and loved him.

C'est avec une profonde tristesse que la famille d'Alexandre Laferrière annonce le décès de Béatrice Laferrière, née Rheault, le 21 juillet au Temiskaming Lodge, à New Liskeard, à l'âge de 92 ans. Béatrice s'est éteinte paisiblement auprès des siens qui l'ont aimée et veillée jusqu'à la toute fin.

Fille de feu Édouard Rheault et de feu Angéline Lambert, elle laisse dans le deuil son époux tant aimé Alexandre Laferrière. Ses huit enfants étaient sa plus grande fierté: Henriette (Gabriel Labonté), Huguette (feu Réjean Goudreault), Raymond (Ashley Tagieff), Aline (Laurier Hacquard), Carmen (Serge Trudel), Gisèle (André Villeneuve), feu Ginette (feu René Labonté), Jocelyne (feu Denis Lachapelle) (Robert Caron). Elle veille désormais sur ses 21 petits-enfants et ses 25 arrières petits-enfants qui la comblaient de joie.

Béatrice était la sœur aînée de feu Maurice Rheault (Lucille Charbonneau) et de Laurent Rheault (Lucille Gaulin). Elle laisse aussi dans le deuil plusieurs beaux-frères et belles-sœurs ainsi que plusieurs neveux et nièces.

La famille demeure très reconnaissante des soins offerts par le personnel du Temiskaming Lodge. Un merci du fond du cœur à Rita, présence bienveillante auprès de Béatrice à cet endroit.

La famille de Mme Béatrice Laferrière vous accueillera, parents et amis au salon funéraire Buffam Léveillé de New Liskeard (251 rue Shepherdson) le dimanche 26 juillet de 14h à 16h et de 19h à 21h. Un service religieux sera célébré le lundi à 11h à l'Église Sacré-Cœur de New Liskeard.

Béatrice, reine du foyer, était fière de dire qu'elle avait eu 8 enfants. Couturière et cuisinière hors paire, elle a appuyé son époux sur la ferme. Elle était particulièrement fière de ses études à l'école Moffat de Ville-Marie, et mentionnait souvent ses compagnes d'école qu'elle a beaucoup appréciées.
Elle a joué son rôle de mère à fond, ensuite de grand-mère et d'arrière-grand-mère. Son plus grand plaisir était d'être entourée de tout ce monde là, ainsi que de toute la parenté, et amies. Accueillir et s'assurer que tout l'monde était bien reçu, penser aux autres, prier, voilà ce qui rendaient Béatrice heureuse. Plus t**d dans la vie, lorsque les limites de son corps l'ont empêchée de continuer de prendre soin des autres, elle s'est laissée prendre soin par ses enfants, sa grande famille et le personnel du Temiskaming Lodge où elle fut appréciée pour son sourire et sa gentillesse.

Les soins funéraire de Mme. Laferrière fut confié à la maison funéraire Buffam Leveille. Les messages de condoléances et hommages peuvent être transmis au www.buffamleveille.com.
