Avis de décès de Josephine Jarvis

JARVIS, Josephine Megan (nee Hayes) Born in Killamarsh, Derbyshire, England January, 1930. Died peacefully at the age of 80 with her family near at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital July 6, 2010. Devoted wife of 58 years to William, Amherstburg. Doting mother of Sarah, Windsor. Predeceased by her loving parents, Herbert Colin and Elizabeth Hayes. Youngest of six siblings, Jo leaves her wonderful sisters Roma (the late Reginald) and Beryl (the late Alan and Maurice) and their families; predeceased by Gwendolyn, Blodwyn and Dallas. Predeceased by parents-in-law, William and Alice Jarvis. Dear sister-in-law to Roy (the late Sylvia) and his family, and cousins in Canada. She has an extended family of friends in Scotland, New Zealand, the United States and Canada. Her gift of laughter and conversation blessed so many. She nurtured and adored Sarah's friends, too, and became a second "Mum" to many. All were welcome in her home. Jo believed in leading by example, and was an untiring volunteer in theatres, museums and the Anglican Church; always going out of her way to help others and showing us how it was done. Bill and Sarah would like to thank our family, friends and hospital staff at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital and Windsor Western Complex Care during Jo's long struggles with ill-health. We had hoped to celebrate her 80th with everyone, but now we celebrate a wonderful life lived well. Visitation at Gerald A. Smith Funeral Home 197 King St. W. Harrow Thursday 7-9 p.m. A memorial service to celebrate Josephine's life will be held on Friday July 9, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at All Saints' Anglican Church 330 City Hall Square Windsor. Rev. Chris Brouillard-Coyle officiating. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital Foundation, VON, or Brescia University College, or the charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
