WESTLAND, Lise

Jul 17, 2013

Passed away peacefully, at her residence in Knowlton (Quebec), in her sleep.  Lise and Cor (1918 - 2006) were proud residents of Sharbot Lake who together made a number of important contributions to the community.  When asked by one of her grandchildren just last week "where was home?" Lise had answered without hesitation.  In a life that took her from the Netherlands to Indonesia, then back to the Netherlands and onwards to Quebec City and Ottawa, home was right here in the village.  The cottage was where they hosted family and friends; the "yellow house" on Highway 38 was their place in town.  Together they made Sharbot Lake the global headquarters of the World Leisure and Recreation Association.  To remember Lise there will be an open house July 28, over the lunch hour (12:00 pm to 2:00 pm), at the cottage at 1139 Polar Bear Lane. Those who plan to attend are asked to RSVP to 613-279-2143.
