The family of Earletta Watson are heartbroken to announce the death of their loving mother, Earletta Grace Watson (nee Buck) in her 99th year on Monday, July 18th 2022. She died peacefully at home surrounded by her children who were devoted to caring for her during her battle with cancer over the past few years. Earletta is predeceased by her cherished husband Stewart, who passed away in 1999 and her beloved grandson Danny Redmond (Emma) who passed away in 2017. She is also predeceased by her sisters, Myra, Jean and Lila and her brother Elwood. She leaves behind her greatest joy, her children; Karen Stinson (Jim), Virginia Redmond (Bill), Connie Smith (Michael) and Kevin Watson (Michelle), her sister Eleanor Hannah and sister-in-law Marion Convery. Earletta was extremely proud of her grandchildren, Mark Redmond (Stacey), Michelle Harper (Doug), Greg Smith (Kim), Erin Stinson (Travis), Austin Watson (Marissa), Rebecca Watson, Sean Redmond (Christina), Jason Redmond (Allana), Wendy and Karli Redmond. She delighted in her visits with her 11 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren. Earletta also loved visits with all the family pets. She was lucky to have been surrounded by many extended family members, cherished friends and neighbours who called, visited and checked in frequently. She was a proud honorary member of the Harrowsmith Women’s Institute, the Antique and Classic Car Club and was an avid knitter and quilter. She enjoyed many hours spent with close friends around the quilting frames. Earletta was born January 16, 1924 to Earl and Grace Buck of Harrowsmith. She was raised in Harrowsmith, married Stewart in 1945 and moved to Watson Road, where she and Stewart raised their four children and where she resided for 77 years. Her family would like to acknowledge the compassionate care of the PSW’s nurses and other caregivers who helped fulfill her desire to spend her last days in her home. In keeping with her wishes, Earletta will be laid to rest beside Stewart and her family will celebrate her life with a private graveside service. For those who wish, expressions of sympathy made in the form of a donation to the Harrowsmith Women’s Institute or the Princess Elizabeth Rebeka Lodge # 358 Harrowsmith, would be appreciated by Earletta’s family.
