George Beattie

        With heavy hearts the family of George Henry Beattie of Ingersoll, formally of Thamesford, announce his passing on Sunday March 2, 2025 in his 86th year, peacefully at Sakura House in Woodstock, Ontario with family by his side.

       In keeping with George’s wishes, there will not be a service and cremation has taken place.  A celebration of life will take place at a later date (those details will be shared here once decisions have been made).  In memory of George, donations to Sakura House in Woodstock would be greatly appreciated. 

      A sincere thank you to the staff at Alexandra Hospital in Ingersoll and Sakura House in Woodstock for the exceptional care and compassion given to Dad and our family.
