It is with saddened hearts but with wonderful memories that we announce the passing of Edna Isabel McLean (nee Noble) on Monday, March 8th, 2021 in her 91st year. Edna passed away peacefully at Chapman House with her children by her side. Beloved wife of the late Archibald John McLean.

Special great-grandmother to Braydon and Grace McLean of Durham, Nicole McLean and Serena Nuhn of Hanover. Survived by loving brother Royden Noble and his wife Sharon of Durham. Edna is also survived by a large number of family members and friends who will miss her. Predeceased by her parents George and Isabel Noble (nee Alexander), her son Bryon, her sister Mary and brother-in-law Louie Emke, and her sister-in-law Jean Noble. After her marriage to Archie she helped on the farm where they raised their three children. After getting hired at St. Raphael's Nursing Home she had the opportunity to fulfill her dreams of becoming a nurse. While working fulltime and attending college she successfully graduated in 1976 with her RNA diploma from Georgian College. Edna enjoyed her time working at the nursing home. After leaving the nursing home she was employed with Red Cross. Edna enjoyed many years of curling at the Durham Curling Club. Edna enjoyed watching curling and the Blue Jays on tv.
