Burt EllaBURT, Ella Frances (née Tarrant) – Peacefully at Hillsdale Estates on May 29, 2020 at the age of 91.

She was a tough woman who spoke her mind, no matter who was around and always gave the right advice. Her bubbly personality will be dearly missed.

Predeceased by her husbands Edward Burt and Joe MacDonald.

Dear sister of Cyril, Gus, Pat, Carmel Turpin, Madeline Banfield, Margaret Campbell, the late Cyril, the late Alex and the late Florina Polych.

She will be fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews and many good friends.

Due to the restrictions caused by the pandemic, a private service will be held, and a Celebration of Ella’s life will be held at a later date.

Interment at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery.
