Camber, Edward

The family of Edward Camber sadly announce his sudden passing at the Davidson Health Centre July 24, 2018.

Ed was born to Ted and Betty Camber May 17, 1944.

He took his schooling at Lothian and Chatham country schools.

Ed’s love of animals was instilled in him at an early age. He farmed with his parents and worked at PFRA pastures Birsay and McCraney and helping many others with their livestock needs. His love of horses extended to racing chariots and chuckwagons.

Ed is survived by his wife of 43 years Susan (Turner); daughter Dixie (Cory) Dean; grandchildren Bryce, Chase Lyn and Quayden; Son Riley (Tamara); grandchildren Sam, Josh, Zak, Kaitlyn, Colton and Emma; brothers Arthur (Dianne) and Fred.

After marrying Susan they lived in Davidson and Bladworth for a short time. In the spring of 1985 they moved to the close-knit community of Maple Valley where they enjoyed many years raising their family.

Failing health forced them to move to Davidson in early 2014 by July of that same year Ed took up residence at the Davidson Health Centre, where he received excellent care. He accepted where he needed to be sharing life stories with fellow residents and staff.

A memorial service was held at the Davidson United Church July 30, 2018. Arrangements were entrusted to Hanson’s Funeral Home, Davidson.

For those so wishing to do so, donations may be made to Diabetes Canada, Parkinson’s Canada or Davidson Health Centre Foundation (trust).
