<div itemprop="description"><br />It is with sadness that we announce that Norma&nbsp;KERFOOT (nee McRae), aged 84, passed away peacefully the evening of March 10, 2015, in hospital, surrounded by family.&nbsp;Beloved wife of Stanley Kerfoot, loving mother of Doug (Michele, Pauline d.) of Phoenix AZ, Brenda (Steve Chapman) and Lori (Ross Brown). Devoted grandmother of&nbsp;Patricia, Paul, Alexander, Andrew, Zachary (Doug), Krista (Brenda), Sarah, Lainey (Lori).&nbsp;Sister to Audrey (Bill Hunter d.), Jim (Claudette) and Bill (Mariette).&nbsp;She is predeceased by her mother Muriel (Simpson) and father Norman McRae, brother Wendell (Clare Shanks), sisters Myrtle and Elizabeth (Glynn Reid) and daughter-in-law Pauline (Bruneau).&nbsp;Born in Ottawa in 1931, Norma&nbsp;spent her early years in Ottawa, Ashton and Carleton Place. She&nbsp;was a spirited and spontaneous soul who enjoyed travelling, cross country skiing, riding her bike, and canoeing with Stan at Lac Bernard. She loved to try new things and had a particular&nbsp;passion for reading, crosswords and collecting memorabilia. She was also a very talented seamstress. She and&nbsp;Stan were long-time members of the&nbsp;Foresters community and&nbsp;enjoyed attending local theatre productions. She followed her grandchildren&rsquo;s activities closely and volunteered time to fundraise for local charities. Stan, her devoted companion for more than 65 years, was at her side to the very end.&nbsp; <br /> <br />The family would like to thank the staff at Longfields Manor for their support and services over the years following her stroke. Thanks also to&nbsp;the staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital for the professional and sensitive care given during her final days. A Memorial Visitation will take place at Capital Funeral Home, 3700 Prince of Wales Drive, Ottawa &nbsp;on Sunday, March 22, at 2 pm, followed by a Service and Reception at 4:30 pm. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Heart &amp; Stroke Foundation of Ontario. <br /></div>
