Fraser, Patricia Jean Fraser - 13-Oct-1942 - 27-Sep-2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Patricia Jean Fraser, who left this world peacefully at the age of 81, after a short and courageous battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of almost 60 years, Doug Fraser, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and partnership. Pat and Doug are together again in heaven.
Pat was a warm and loving person, whose smile would light up any room she entered. She was the cherished mother of Heather Kaine (Andy Kenins) and Cameron Fraser (Tricha Fraser) and the adored grandmother of Emily and Jack Kaine and Myles and Tiffany Fraser with whom she would talk and laugh for hours on end. She was predeceased by her brother, Elford Verral (Kathy Verral) and the beloved Aunt of Julie, Jennifer and Daniel Verral and Jason, Kevin and Annemarie Fraser. The owner of many “free” dogs, Pat instilled a love of animals in her children. She will be missed by fur grandchildren Julia and Ella.
A natural host, Pat was known for the joy she brought to those around her. Her home was the heart of many wonderful gatherings. Fletcher Valley pool parties were legendary with hours of music recorded from the albums of neighbourhood teenagers. Pat was actively engaged in her community. She was district camp advisor for the Girl Guides and encouraged her family to spend time in the great outdoors hiking, camping, swimming and singing around the campfire – rain or shine. Retiring to Haliburton County in 2004 she became an active and devoted member of St. Peter’s Church where she could be found volunteering at pancake breakfasts, salad suppers, Highland teas, Thanksgiving dinners and Sunday services. Her presence will be sorely missed, but her legacy of love, faith, and friendship will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Thank you to Pat’s team at the Durham Region Cancer Centre, Lakeridge Health Oshawa, for their care and compassion and for the extra time we are grateful to have had with our mother.
Pat’s life was filled with love and laughter. A celebration of her life will take place on October 19, 2024 at 11:00am at St. Peter’s Church, 1213 St. Peters Road, Algonquin Highlands.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in Pat’s memory.
Friends and family are invited to visit at McEachnie Funeral Home

FULLERTON, Jennifer Fullerton - 10-Dec-1949 - 16-Sep-2024
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Jennifer, who left us on September 17, 2024. Born on December 10, 1949, to Emma, Jennifer was the fourth of five children: Lenore, Albert, Patricia, Jennifer, and Kay. A strong and resilient woman, Jennifer moved to Canada from Trinidad with her sons and worked diligently at Irwin Toys and Sears for over 20 years.
Jennifer took great pride in her family and culture, becoming known for her delicious callaloo, festive Christmas brunches, and her exquisite collection of dishware, china dolls, and crystals. Her glamorous style and love for parties were well-known, and she was a dedicated Worthy Matron member of the Order of the Eastern Star - Electa Chapter #31284 since 1995.
In her later years, Jennifer enjoyed traveling and spending time with her family. She will be fondly remembered by her sons, Lester and Andre, her 11 grandchildren, and her 3 great-grandsons.
Her legacy of love, strength, and grace will continue to inspire us every day.
FUTERMAN, Jeffrey Allan Futerman - February 1, 1968 – September 14, 2024
When Jeffrey was a baby, our mom would laugh and say "He looks like an old man ... a tiny, little old man." He was often sick & routinely in and out of hospitals. Until his kidney transplant in 1983, after which he was able to break dance & do "the worm" at my wedding in 1984, to the awe & delight of our younger brother Jason. Jeffrey lived life to the fullest, very often defying the odds.
The son of Sonja & Harvey, grandson of Molly & Benny, gentleman & a scholar to some, agitator & referee to a few, always a wonder and, to me, a miracle. Jeffrey was also known as the King of One-Liners, with a quick-wit and sense of humour. Recently, after several years of ups & downs, close calls, and being in & out of the hospital, Jeffrey settled into a group home where he felt the 24/7 love and support from the staff & residents.
A huge thank you to Community Living Oshawa Clarington, we are so appreciative of all that you've done. Thanks, Phil, for your time & energy in the last while, it was a good thing. In addition to top-notch medical care, we also felt the guidance and compassion from all the staff @ Lakeridge Health Oshawa's Critical Care Unit. Thank you, Dr. Donna Birbrager, for being the only person to convince Jeffrey to reduce his Diet Coke consumption a few years ago (too much of a good thing).
The Transplant Clinic team at UHN's Toronto General Hospital played a huge role in Jeffrey's resilience & ability to live fully, as did the Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre. Our family, including The Ancestors, thank Dr. Johnathan Eisenstat for the letter. I was able to read it to Jeffrey and he loved it, telling me that the great Cleveland Pitcher Bob Feller “could pitch faster than a motorcycle”. A heartfelt thank you to the family who, in April 1983 were going through their own pain and suffering and gifted so much love and joy to our family. Over the years, Jeffrey has always been surrounded by family and friends. He especially valued the friendships he cultivated at the Coffee Time at Stevenson & Rossland, and all of the smiles he gathered along his travels. He has nieces & nephews that started out their lives with "Uncle Jeppy", which brought him endless delight. One of our last conversations was that Spencer Horowitz is his favourite Blue Jay. Watching sports with Jeffrey was an opportunity to learn many facts & figures about the game as he could rival any sportscaster with his knowledge, stats, and memory.
My heart is heavy to let you know that Jeffrey left his body here last Saturday, as the Blue Jays started their game against the Cardinals. I like to believe he found a seat behind home plate. My heart is also full of gratitude to be able to tell you that Jeffrey died an old man. Touchdown. Love, Michelle. May his memory be for a blessing. A graveside service will take place at 3 pm on Friday September 20, 2024 at THORNTON CEMETERY & FUNERAL CENTRE, 1200 Thornton Road North, Oshawa, (South of Taunton Road and off of Dryden Blvd, 905-579-6787).
