Aston, Nancy Wilhelmine Reed:

Beloved wife of the late Roland Thomas Aston, to whom she had been married for 66 years when he passed away in 2007. Loving mother of Christopher Aston (Jane Murdoch Adams) of Toronto and Karen Aston (Terry McDougall) of Ottawa. Cherished grandmother of Laura and Madeleine McDougall.
