HALL, Ida Jean (nee Gough) - On August 5, 2011, surrounded by family at Parkwood Hospital in London, Ida went to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who has been faithful to her for the past 76 years. Born in St. Catharines on November 25, 1934, she moved to London in 1959. Precious mother of Ken and Gillian (nee Ziegler) of Arva and Judi and Glen Smeltzer of London. Loving grandmother of Matthew, Rebecca and Kate Hall, and Kyle and Kristina Smeltzer, her great joy and legacy of love. Predeceased by her mother Jane (Jean) McKie Gough and father Harold Wesley Gough of St. Catharines, and brothers John, Donald and Harold Gough. Much loved by her sisters Helen (Jerry-deceased) Plourde, Marjorie (Carl) Sherrett of St. Catharines and Vi (Ross) Norton of Georgetown, and brothers Bob (Carol) Gough of St. Catharines and Dennis (Cathy) Gough of New York, and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law including Jane Gough, Kay Dawdy, Lorraine Shaver, Connie Harford and Cecil and Helen Hall. Special aunt to many nieces and nephews. Ida will be missed by many dear friends with whom she shared happy times and who have been such a source of encouragement and support.
