Edward S. O'Beirn

It is with deep sadness that the O’Beirn family announces the passing of Ed O’Beirn, at Uxbridge Hospital on Saturday, November 12th, 2022: in his 86th year.  Predeceased by parents, Thomas and Mary, brother, Daniel and sisters Joan and Sharon.  Cherished brother to Eugene (Valerie), Mary Ann (late Alfred), Alice (Cam), Margaret (Lorne), Paul, Patricia (Tom), Frances (Frank), Cecilia (Don), Denise (Bill) and Shawn (Jackie).  Wonderful uncle and great uncle to many nephews and nieces. He will be missed by his many cousins, golfing and curling friends, former colleagues at Glitsch, and parishioners at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.  Born in Capreol, a small town north of Sudbury, Ed lived his whole life in Uxbridge, with many of those years on the family farm, Bascom Street, and his final years at Douglas Crossing Retirement Home.  With a razor-sharp wit and always ready with a good joke, Ed will be remembered as a humble, kind, and gentle man.

Thank you to all the caring staff at Douglas Crossing and Uxbridge Hospital.

Visitation will be held at the Low and Low Funeral Home, 23 Main Street South, Uxbridge L9P 1M8 (905-852-3073) on Thursday, November 17th, 2022 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.  A Funeral Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Friday, November 18th, at 11:00 a.m. followed by interment at the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery.   A reception will follow at the church hall.  

If desired, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
