ALLAN, Elda Aileen, (nee Robb); of Palmerston. After a brief illness, Elda passed away peacefully at Palmerston Hospital with family by her side on January 31, 2015 at the age of 92. Beloved wife of the late Tom Allan (1976). Cherished mother of Brenda Allan of Saskatoon, SK, Linda Allan and Jim Johnson of Westbank BC and Edith and David McArthur of R. R. # 1 Moorefield.

Cherished great-grandmother of Andrew and Alex Potts. Fondly remembered by her many friends. Predeceased by her parents Stanley and Rose Robb and her brother Raymond Robb and his wife Ileen. Elda, daughter of Stanley and Rose Robb, was born and raised on the family farm on the 6th of Maryborough Township, which had been homesteaded by her great-grandparents. Elda and Tom farmed on the 10th of Maryborough until 1973 when they moved to Palmerston. Elda worked for many years in the cafeteria at Norwell High School. After her retirement she enjoyed travelling, playing cards and visiting with her friends. Her great-grandsons, Alex and Andrew brought her a special joy. Over the last 30 years, Elda faced many challenges to her health with determination and the will to be as active as possible. She served as an example to her family and will be missed. To honour Elda’s wishes there was a private Family Service held in the Heritage Funeral Home, Palmerston on Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. followed by spring interment in Bethesda Cemetery.
