We send our love and prayers to Maybourne’s family at this difficult time. A private family service has already taken place.

Maybourne Anna Kohlsmith (Morrison of Cobden) peacefully passed away with her family by her side on Tuesday May 13th at the Maison McCulloch Hospice in Sudbury at the age of 100 years. Those who knew Maybourne will remember her as a vibrant, intelligent, and passionate woman. She set high standards for herself, never shying away from challenges, and always embracing opportunities to learn. Her unique approach to life, independent spirit, and strong will, left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered.
She was married for 46 years to her beloved husband, Elsworth Kohlsmith, predeceased in 1993 in Sudbury.
Dear Mother of Lorna McDowell (Stewart) of Garson, and Karen Fera (Gerry Legault) of Coniston.
Cherished Granny to Landon McDowell (Kayla) of Falconbridge, Brooke McDowell of Orangeville, Katherine Fera (Chris Moncayo) of Toronto and Trevor Fera (Alison) of Sudbury.
Maybourne felt very blessed to be a Great Granny to 4 grandchildren: Clade and Payton McDowell, Elliott Fera, and Giovanni Moncayo.
Loving sister to Bill (William) Morrison of Cobden, predeceased 2020, and sister-in-law to Marie, predeceased 2012. Dear Aunt to Cheryl Morrison (Doug McLaren) of Trenton, Steven Robert Morrison (Darlaine Foley) of Ottawa, and Pauline Morrison Britnell (Ian) of Perth. Special cousin to Brenda Krauter of Ottawa. Cherished friend of Betty Mills of Ottawa, who she had known since elementary school in Cobden.
Maybourne loved spending time in the great outdoors. She and Elsworth enjoyed travelling across Canada in a tent trailer when their daughters were young. She was also involved with the Girl Guides for many years, leading camping trips and excursions. She served as the Captain of the Minnow Lake Girl Guides and later the District Commissioner.
Elsworth and Maybourne were snowbirds who enjoyed 19 sunny winters in Weslaco, Texas. They were part of a vibrant seniors community and made many wonderful friends over the years. After Elsworth passed Maybourne continued the tradition with her best friend, Betty. They loved to travel, visiting many locations in Canada and the US. Betty drove the Cadillac, Maybourne read the map, and off they went!
Maybourne was known for her love of crossword puzzles, maps, and books, especially biographies. She was passionate about politics and always kept up with the news of the day. She was a good friend who stayed in touch with people far and wide through letters and phone calls. Maybourne’s faith was important to her, and she was a long-time member of the Church of the Epiphany. Special thanks to Barbara Bolton and her pastoral team for visits of support to the family, fellowship, and Holy Communion.
The family would like to thank the entire team at Maison McCulloch Hospice. Donations can be made in memory of Maybourne here: https://maisonsudburyhospice.org/donate
A private ceremony will be held for the family May 16th 2025, with burial in the family plot in the Civic Memorial Cemetery in Sudbury.  Funeral arrangements entrusted to the COOPERATIVE FUNERAL HOME, Sudbury.
