Nyhl Berna Faussett of Ridgetown and formerly Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and London passed away at the Village Retirement Residence on Friday July 3, 2009. Nyhl was born in Ottawa eighty one years ago to her late parents George Elmore and Edith Myrtle (Young) Glossop. She and her husband Frederick Earl Faussett (November 20, 1982) moved to Ridgetown forty three years ago and raised their children Peter (Ridgetown), James (Durham, North Carolina) and David (September 14, 1976). She was mother-in-law to Linda MacDougall (Peter) and Cathy Faussett (James) and proud Grandmother of Jamie, Nicholas, Rachel, Matthew and Cooper Faussett. Nyhl is predeceased by her sisters Audrey Lois Glossop and Mavis Leona Teraschuk.She was an avid reader and held degrees in History and Education. She shared her knowledge with many through her time as a school teacher. Thirty eight years ago when Nyhl and Fred moved their family to Ridgetown, Nyhl worked beside Fred in their law firm “Stirling and Faussett”. Although her intent was to help out only for a couple of hours, Nyhl stayed for twenty five years; a career that she said was “the longest afternoon of my life”.
Friends will remember Nyhl for her grace, her caring nature, and her wonderful dry sense of humor. An avid reader, she had a great love for language, culture and theatre, and was a long time patron of The Grand Theatre in London and The Stratford Festival. She was also a member of the Ridgetown I.O.D.E. and a 30 year volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society.
In respect of Nyhl’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no Funeral Service. Family would welcome words of remembrance to Box 1033 Ridgetown N0P 2C0
