It's for this untiring volunteer work that she is remembered most by the community she loved so much. Lottie died suddenly at her Country Street home Monday, Oct 31. She was in her 85th year. She was born Lottie Elma Stanley Oct 28, 1910 at Watson's Corners, the daughter of the late Alf Stanley and his late wife Minnie McNichol. She received her education in Blakeney, Bennies Corners and Almonte before marrying the late Kenneth Barr Jan 11, 1928 in Almonte. Together they raised four children - son Howard of Almonte, Norma (Mrs Fred) Larose of Almonte, Joyce (Mrs Art) Puckett of Carleton Place and Donna (Mrs Fred) Koch of Manotick. Later, as a Widow, she married the late Warner Giles Sept 15, 1979 in Clayton. While Lottie worked as mother and homemaker, she also dedicated much of her time to her community. Over the years, she was involved in so many activities, her own family had trouble coming up with a complete list, her daughter Norma said last week, From Brownie and Guide leader to Charter Member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 240 Ladies Auxiliary, she did so much to help both the young and old in and around town. Much of her involvement in community groups and organizations stretches back 40 years or more. She is a past Noble Grand of the At the Well Rebekah Lodge 29, a group she joined when it first formed in the area more than 40 years ago. She is also a past-president and life member of the Almonte Women's Institute. A fellow member of both, Phyllis MacPherson remembers Lottie's willingness to help with any task that came along. "She was a hard worker... always willing to do her share," she said. "She was one of my favourite people." Lottie was a co-founder of the Almonte senior citizens group and a member of similar clubs in Pakenham, Middleville and Lanark. She was also a member of the Orange Lodge, the Almonte Horticultural Society, the Heather Club (Presbyterian Church), and until recently, help operate an annual toll bridge for muscular dystrophy. She also would assist in canvassing for a variety of charities around town. For many years, Lottie was known as the "Chip Lady" having operated a chip wagon at the corner of Bridge and Mill streets with husband Ken Barr. In an interview with the Gazette in 1992, she said young and old called her "granny" because she considered all her customers as her adopted children. She further connected with the young people of the community by operating the concession booth at the community centre. She was probably best known for her volunteer efforts, however, not just through her affiliations with various groups, but at her church, the Almonte Nursing Home and Fairview Manor. She readily admitted she kept a busy schedule, with good reason. "I always have something to do. I'm never idle and that's the way I like it. Life's never boring," she said two years ago. "I like helping people when I can." For Tanya Lalonde, activities director at the nursing home, Lottie's assistance was invaluable. She was involved in bingo, outings to Fairview Manor, diner's club, bazaars, baking, pub nights and many other activities. "Lottie was a friend to many of the residents and to the staff," Lalonde said. Despite the fact her health appeared to be failing in the past year, Lottie continued to come in at lest twice a week and was rewarded for her 132 hours of in-house service. "You couldn't slow her down," Lalonde said. "She never didn't show up for anything." She added it was obvious Lottie cared deeply for the people she helped. Almonte Presbyterian Church Clerk of Session Gordon Kilburn said Lottie was "always active in things like decorating the church for various occasions ... little things that a lot of people don't think of." In his eulogy, Rev Grant Wilson told the congregation that Lottie was so full of life, one would have believed that death could never catch up with her. "I'M really going to miss that dear old lady," he said. As well as her children, Lottie is survived by three sisters, Mamie (Mrs Bill Steele) of Trenton, Doris (Mrs Orville Clement) of Almonte and Retta (Mrs Clayton Moorehead) of Ottawa. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. The funeral took place Nov 3 at the Kerry Funeral Home chapel with Rev Wilson officiating. Interment at Auld Kirk Cemetery. Pallbearers were grandchildren Tony Larose, Rod Rafter, Jeffery Puckett, Michael Larose, Darwyn Barr, Stephen Puckett, Richard Larose and Paul Puckett
