Laidlaw: Sally
Quietly passed away at Anson Place Lifecare Centre in Hagersville on Saturday, February 18, 2017. Sally was in her ninety-nineth year. Predeceased by her husband Peter Elliott Laidlaw in 2010.

So sorry to hear the sad news of such a wonderful and classy lady. I enjoyed spending time with Sally at Leisure Living, and when I did visit there I would always stop and have a chat with her. She truly was a lovely lady.

I am very sorry to hear that Sally has passed. My grandmother, Edith Armstrong, used to share stories of growing up in the Donald household. Sally is the last of the elder generation of the Donald family. My father, Donald Armstrong, was always so proud of his heritage and spoke often of Uncle Bus, Aunt Sally and Grandma Percie and Grandpa Tom Donald. Alas, he passed in 2014. My thoughts and sincere sympathy are with the Laidlaw family.
