Meldrum, Grace Edna (nee Blair) After a long and courageous struggle with Alzheimer's disease, Grace Meldrum passed away on November 7th, 2014 at the age of 93. A long-time resident of Carleton Heights in Ottawa and of Perth Ontario, Grace was the loving wife of George who passed away in 1997 and the cherished mother of Tom and his wife Sandra and Susan and her husband Arnold Malone. She was also the enormously proud and loving grandmother of Steven Meldrum and his wife Kara, Michael Malone and G-ma of Brady Meldrum. Grace was the sixth of twelve children born to Robert and Sadie Blair of Brooke, Ontario. She is survived by siblings Laura and Lois, Bill and Bonar and predeceased by Jim, Doc, Eileen, Marion, Hilda, Norma and Don. Grace excelled at many sports but curling was her game. She was a long-time member of the Carleton Heights Curling Club and achieved the rare distinction of scoring and 8-ender at the Perth Curling Club. Grace will long be remembered for her great sense of fun, her hospitality, love of children and animals, and her sweet, gentle spirit. Our family wished to express our deep appreciation to the staff of the Maples at Lanark Lodge for the compassionate and respectful care they provided to Gracie for more that twelve years. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Monday, November 10th, 2014 from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 P.M. followed by a reception in the Blair & Son Family Centre. Interment will then be held in St. Stephen's Cemetery, Brooke. In remembrance, contributions to the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County or the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) would be appreciated.
