A 101-year-old Edmonton widow is in a legal battle with the Rotary Foundation Canada over which charities should benefit from her late husband's $40-million estate. My husband wanted this money to go to many, many deserving charities, McEachern said in an interview with CBC. When he wrote his will, he entrusted his entire fortune to the Rotary foundation, with the exception of a trust fund to cover his wife's living expenses. McEachern said she has offered the Rotary foundation $13 million — as her husband wished — but Rotary has refused to respond. She has since established the McEachern Family Foundation.
