It is with many tears and much love we say goodbye to our amazing Mom, gramma, great-gramma, great-great-gramma Jane. She has slipped the surly bonds of earth to dance forever in the arms of her love, Roy.
Mom was born in Oba Ontario July 20, 1933; the only girl with two beloved younger brothers, Peter and Jim.
When she was 15 she first laid eyes on our Papa and, knew in her heart, that he was to be her husband. So, as Papa served his country in Korea, she became a nurse and waited for her love to return home so she could become his wife. They started their family quickly with Chris and Deb followed by Cheryl a few years later and finally, our baby Nancy.
Family was everything to our Mom and we all basked in her unconditional and never-ending love.
Her huge heart became even fuller with the birth of her grandchildren, Kelly, Brandi, Ashley, Marc and Michelle from Chris; Erin and Dustin from Cheryl; and Susie and Laura from Nan.
Then the greats started coming. Allison, Andrew, and Makenzie (Kelly), Danica and Brayden (Brandi), Sha-Lyn and Logan (Ashley), Autumn (Dustin) Jane and Dorothy (Erin) and Danny (Laura).
Mom was equally over-the-moon with the gift of their great-great grandchildren Kipton (Allison) and Hailey (Danica).
Attempting to sum up this amazing woman in a few words is an impossible task. She was the heart and soul of our family and we will carry the legacy of her unconditional love and strength into all of our futures.
Her happiness is now complete reuniting with all of our loved ones who have gone on before her and she has missed terribly. She would talk often about seeing them again and her face would light right up.
We would never wish you back, our Mom, but we will miss you with our whole hearts until the end of our days.
Cremation has taken place and a private memorial service will be held at a later date.
