Obituary of Elwood Voteary

Passed peacefully on Friday December 3, 2021 at the Smiths Falls District Hospital at the age of 83. Devoted partner to B.J. for 57 years; loving father to Peter Voteary (Mary Munro), and Tim Voteary; proud grandfather of Joshua, William (Julia), Ashley, and Eric. Dear brother of Elva Thompson (the late Doug), and brother-in-law to Cora Voteary, and Nancy Northmore (Wayne). Predeceased by his siblings Arthur (Cora), Elmer (Lyla), Shirley, and Raymond Voteary. He was loved by his many nieces, nephews, and wonderful friends and neighbours. Elwood will be remembered as a skilled craftsman, a basketball player, a sprinter, and dedicated teacher. He had a quiet strength, and his faith was lived out every day by the words found in Micah 6:8 (NIV): He acted justly, He loved mercy, and He walked humbly with God. A private family service will be held to honour Elwood’s life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to either Parkinson Canada, or the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation, would be greatly appreciated.
