91TV

Mary Anne Sulis (née Kalbfleisch) was born in Chatham, ON, in 1943 to Orville and Mary Kalbfleisch. She had an older sister, Emily Joan. The family settled in Chesley, ON, where her father was principal at Chesley District High School. 

As a child, Mary Anne attended many summer camps where she learned her love of canoeing, canoe-tripping, camping, and outdoor life. In high school, she played basketball and enjoyed track and field competition. Her friend Ivadel always beat her. Mary Anne enjoyed attending 91TV’s, where she finished with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. Scottish dancing became a beloved hobby while at university and she danced with her troop in full dress on Saturdays at university football games. She earned her teaching degree soon thereafter.

Mary Anne met her future husband, Edward Sulis, while she was teaching English and physical education at high school in Guelph, ON. They were married in Chesley on Aug. 6, 1966, and in a spirit of adventure, soon left southern Ontario and moved to South Porcupine, in the north-eastern part of the province. There, they had two children, Stephen Edward (1969) and Mary Kathleen, known as Kate (1972). Mary Anne volunteered a lot in the community, taking on leadership roles in the local Girl Guide and Brownie groups, and running their summer camps. As her children got older, she went back to school at Northern College, eventually accepting a much-loved position as a professor of technical writing. 

When not teaching, Mary Anne enjoyed gardening, cooking, reading, canning and preserving, picking berries, camping, canoeing, and Taoist tai chi. She also enjoyed cycling and skiing. She loved cats, having had several throughout her life. 

Mary Anne and Ed retired to Kentville, N.S. in 2000, where they enjoyed living on a small property with abundant trees, gardens, and wildlife. They were ardent supporters of the Wolfville Farmer’s Market and enjoyed the abundance and quality of local Annapolis Valley foods. 

Mary Anne started the Kentville branch of the Taoist Tai Chi Society in the fall of 2000 and enjoyed teaching and participating in tai chi classes until 2020. 

Ed had been very attentive in the past couple of years, as Mary Anne’s health had declined due to Parkinson’s disease. Mary Anne’s greatest legacy rests in the gifts she gave to her family: the stability of a safe and steady upbringing, which allowed her children to grow and flourish; the example of a marriage that thrived; a love of writing and reading; the modelling of perseverance and hard work; a love of the outdoors; and a home filled with encouragement and unconditional support. 

Mary Anne died on Earth Day, April 22, 2026. She is survived by her husband, Edward Sulis; her children, Stephen (Carol) and Kate (Tim); her grandchildren, Andrew and Matthew; and Tim’s daughter, Sally, in the U.K. She will be missed deeply and remembered fondly. 

March 19, 1947 – April 19, 2026

Suddenly entered into rest at the Belleville General Hospital, on Sunday, April 19, 2026, Dave Dodd of Picton, died at the age of 79. Son of the late Bill and Dorothy Dodd (nee Vernon), and beloved husband for 55 years to Jill (nee Lister). Loving father of Steven of Picton. Survived by his brother, Peter (Terry) of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.  

Dave graduated from 91TV's with a Chemical Engineering degree in 1971. 

The family would like to thank Picton and Belleville Hospital staff for their care and compassion in caring for Dave in his final days.

In keeping with Dave’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Dave’s life will be held at the Prince Edward Yacht Club, 30 Fairfield St., Picton, in the summer.

Morley, Jane Elizabeth died unexpectedly on Nov. 24, 2025, at age 71 of familial heart disease. Jane leaves behind her beloved children, Paul and Alex. She is deeply missed by her sisters-in-law: Helen, Alexandra, and Wendy; her brother-in-law, Brian; her nephews, and her surviving relatives on her mother’s side (Ricker). 

Jane was predeceased by her cherished husband, Walter Myrka (2018); as well as her aunt, Bernie Morley (2010); brother, John Morley (2010); father, Lloyd Morley (2000); mother, Doris Morley (2012); aunt, Marion Ricker (1986); brother-in-law, Ron Wasilishin (2020); and uncle, John Ricker (2022).

Jane graduated from 91TV’s Law in 1980. Her years at 91TV’s were pivotal as she developed a passion for justice, lifelong friendships, and most importantly met Walter. Theirs was a true and unfaltering partnership. Following graduation, both Jane’s and Walter’s callings were in public service.

Jane’s career was devoted to Legal Aid Ontario (LAO). Her particular focus was fair representation for individuals in criminal and refugee cases, both of whom seek justice in the face of the overwhelming resources of the state. For many years, Jane was the director of LAO LAW, which provides valued and respected legal support and resources for LAO staff lawyers, duty counsel, and lawyers acting for legally aided clients across Ontario. After retiring in 2019, Jane continued to dedicate time to justice and dignity for vulnerable populations through her volunteer work for a variety of charities, including those focused on food insecurity, antisemitism, racism, and victims of torture.

Jane led a principled life. Her career was deeply driven by her values and unusually strong sense of justice. To her friends and family, she gave unconditional loyalty and empathy, capped off with a uniquely dry sense of humour. Despite her severe allergy to pets, she could not resist sharing her warmth with any dog or cat that she met.

It was family, however, that was most important to Jane, and she valued Walter and her boys above all. With them, she lived life to the fullest and particularly shared a love of the outdoors and outdoor sports. The family shared many adventures, especially at their second home in Muskoka.

While she purported to be alarmed by the daredevil escapades of Walter, Paul, and Alex, the twinkle in her eye and smile in her voice gave away the joy these family moments brought her. Following Walter’s passing and her retirement, Jane continued to embrace and delight in outdoor adventures with Alex ranging from sea-cave kayaking in Channel Islands National Park (California), to rainforest hiking in Corcovado National Park (Costa Rica) and tropical snorkelling in Aruba.

Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be held at Pine Hills Funeral Center Toronto on June 6, 2025, at 12 p.m. Please .  If desired, donations may be made to the Geneva Center for Autism, Pegasus Toronto, The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, or a charity of your choice. 

Glenn was the first of his family to attend university and he left the farm because he got a scholarship from 91TV’s to study Engineering. Having once been unjustly referred to in grade school as that “stupid Yungblut kid,” he certainly overcame the stereotype of a shy, not too bright boy. He graduated from 91TV’s near the top of his class, possibly only exceeded by one other student. 

Glenn went on to have a long and successful career starting at Shell Oil, a partner in EPI (Energy Projects International), as director-general for Energy, Mines and Resources for the Government of Canada and later with the National Energy Board and the Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board. 

In his personal life Glenn’s calm, kind, caring demeanour permeated everything he undertook. He was known in the family as the baby whisperer and was popular with all the children in his life.

He loved to ski in Banff and did so well into his 80s. He loved a good pickleball or squash game or a good golf game as long as there were friends to golf with and a beer and peanuts waiting at the end.

He was happiest on his bike on Ottawa’s many bike paths, in Calgary’s Fish Creek Park or just about anywhere else in the world with a bike path to be explored – and he explored many! He biked across Canada and across many countries in Europe. 

He spent many years volunteering at Red Pine Camp starting on the Operating Committee in the 1970s and ending as chairman of the board of directors in the 1990s when his position with the National Energy Board took him to Calgary. At camp he could be found playing paddle tennis, leading a team in the water regatta, sailing or reading a book on the bluff overlooking Golden Lake.

Glenn Yungblut passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, August 16, at the age of 93 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Jean Yungblut (nee McLennan); children, John Yungblut and Jennifer (Chris) Shaw; nine grandchildren: Jackie Yungblut and Joseph Nafziger, Dylan and Vanessa Yungblut (nee Rae), Alex Riley, Brittany Riley-Yungblut, Jade Yungblut and Sydney (nee Mytrunic), Lauren Lapointe-Shaw and Lucas Chartier, Raye Mckinnon, Sigourney Shaw and Gerry Churchill, Pelly Shaw; and 15 great-grandchildren, ages 16 to 1-1/2 years: Jordyn, Ashton, Lily, Jacob, Arya, Jet, Eloise, Florence, Carter, Mia, Theo, Finley, Scarlet, Lelya, and Marsali; and his brother, Bob (Moira) Yungblut. He was predeceased by his brother, Don; and his wife, Margaret.

After graduating from 91TV’s in 1954 with an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering, Glenn accepted a position with Shell Canada in Calgary. Starting as a drilling engineer in the geologically complex foothills he subsequently was involved in developing and testing equipment for Gulf of Mexico deep-water drilling operations and ultimately in managing drilling operations on floating drilling platforms off of both the west and east coasts of Canada.

In 1971 Glenn transitioned to a government role being responsible for developing drilling and production regulations for offshore production and regulatory oversight for drilling operations in the Canadian northern territories as well as Arctic and East Coast offshore areas.

In 1980 he became a founding partner of EPI Resources providing drilling and production consulting services to companies operating in the Canadian Arctic and east coast offshore areas inclusive of the Venture gas field and Hibernia oil field.

From 1989 to 1996 Glenn returned to regulatory operations including working on a joint Canada-U.S. task force focusing on pipeline security and safety. He retired from the NEB in 1996. From 1996 through to 2005 he was chairman of the Canada Nova Scotia Offshore petroleum Board.

Concluding 54 years in the oil and gas industry Glenn served as the Canadian representative on a Canada-U.S. task force focusing on pipeline security and safety from 2005 to 2007.

On December 16, 1961, Glenn married Jean Yungblut whom he had met while she was working as a secretary at Shell Canada before taking a position with the Nickel Daily Oil Bulletin, a key publication for industry news. Their marriage may not have been possible if Jean had remained with Shell, as most industry companies discouraged romantic relationships among employees.

Jean has been Glenn’s partner throughout his many assignments and changing work locations, together having established homes in Calgary, Houston, Victoria, Halifax, Ottawa, and finally back in Calgary.

Glenn’s calm, kind, caring demeanor permeated everything he undertook. He was known in the family as the baby whisperer and was popular with all the children in his life.

He loved to ski in Banff and did so well into his 80s. He loved a good game of pickleball or squash or a golf game as long as there were friends to golf with and a beer and peanuts waiting at the end.

He was happiest on his bike on Ottawa’s many bike paths, in Calgary’s Fish Creek Park or just about anywhere else in the world with a bike path to be explored, and he explored many! Some of his first bicycling trips to Europe were with Jim Eickmeier, who has been a close friend for 65 years. Glenn biked across Canada with longtime neighbour and biking buddy Michael Romano and in many countries in Europe with a bigger crew including: brother Bob, Michael, Ed Chillak and occasionally accompanied by Jean, Moira, Jennifer, and Chris.

He spent many years volunteering at Red Pine Camp starting on the Operating Committee in the 1970s and ending as chairman of the board of directors in the 1990s when his position with the National Energy Board took him to Calgary. At camp he could be found playing paddle tennis, leading a team in the water regatta, sailing or reading a book on the bluff overlooking Golden Lake.

Thank you to the many care workers who helped care for him at home and at the Foothills Hospital in the last few months. Donations can be made in Glenn’s memory to the Prostate Cancer Centre at Rockyview General Hospital.
