LIDDLE, Beatrice Irene (Goodison), of Chatham, and formerly of Wallaceburg and Wheatley, Ontario, passed away on January 15, 2012 at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance, Chatham Campus in her 89th year. She is the beloved wife of Gordon L. Liddle for over 66 years. Cherished mother of Stephen J. Liddle of Don Mills and Cathy and Al Wolfe of Sarnia, formerly of Kettle Point, Ontario.

During World War 2, Bea was a member of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service and was stationed at the Canadian Forces Base, Halifax, Nova Scotia (Stadacona). After Gord retired, he and Bea spent most winters in Texas and Florida, golfing, soaking up the sun and meeting lots of great folks from all over North America. Gord, Steve, Cathy, and Al would like to express their deep gratitude to David Huffman, M.D., as well as all the staff of the C.K.H.A for the kind and compassionate care they provided for Bea in her last months and days.
