Elizabeth Troupe

ACRES, ELIZABETH (Lisa) M.D., D.P.H.

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Elizabeth (Lisa) Acres on September 26, 2015, peacefully and surrounded by her loving family after a brief illness. Elizabeth was the beloved wife of the late Dr. Stanley E. Acres and the cherished mother of Sue (Brian Pritchard) and Judy (Peter Hall). She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren Alexis (Neil), Carolyn (Hugh), Josephine (Michael), Andrew (Melissa) and Lily (Maté) of whom she was very proud. She took great pleasure in her great-grandchildren Maeve, Lee, Sophie, James and Alexander. Elizabeth was born on May 22, 1922 in Coxgreen, England to David and Elizabeth Troupe. She was one of the early women graduates from medical school in England where she practiced obstetrics and gynaecology. After immigrating to Canada in 1957, she became Medical Officer of Health in St. Albert, Alberta, specializing in maternal and infant health. She worked for the Canada Pension Plan after marrying Stan and moving to Ottawa in 1967. She spent her retirement living near Kinburn, Ontario, before moving to Mississauga and Hamilton to be closer to her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be long remembered for her kindness, intelligence, generosity and guidance and will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends.
