Everything the Society’s own records say of Eleanor Coutts — the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won — gathered on one page. Where the records are silent, so is this one.
In memoriam · September 1973
A member of long standing in the Barrie Branch. The Branch report in the Winter 1973 newsletter, describing the two meetings it held in September to make up for the inactive summer, says that "during this period our branch was greatly saddened by the sudden passing of one of our members of long standing. Eleanor Coutts will be very greatly missed from our circle." The Fall 1973 newsletter carried the Society's notice: "We mourn the passing of two of our members, Eleanor Coutts of Barrie and Cecil Roebuck of Toronto."
