It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Nancy at the age of 98 on February 16, 2025, at Mill Creek Care Centre in Barrie.
She is predeceased by her beloved husband Alex in 2004, and her brothers John, Albert, and sisters Jean and Margaret.
Her memory will be cherished by her daughter Wendy, son-in-law Chuck, grandson Spencer and Ben, Melissa, Luke, Owen, Tyler and Sam.
Nancy had a long career in Toronto in Sales, ending her career as a Manager at Birk’s, she loved to entertain and spend time with her friends, family and her dogs Murphy and Nicki.
In her retirement years, she moved to Barrie, where she loved to garden; roses being her favourite.
Nancy loved all card games and spent many hours playing bridge with friends, with the occasional trip to the casino. Most of all she loved her family and loved to bake them all their favourites.
Nancy will be deeply missed.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Mill Creek for their care, kindness and support.
Peaceful Transition Simcoe

Posted on: Wednesday, February 19, 2025My dear Nancy! I was a PSW at mill creek for over a year and she was one of my first and favourite residents. She loved watching the blue jays play and would always call me her friend. So very sorry to hear about her passing. Sending love to her family

Posted on: Wednesday, February 19, 2025Dear Wendy and Chuck and Family; my sincere condolences to you all!
When I met Nancy at your backyard party, I was thinking what a beautiful and regal lady! We had the privilege of staying with her when you went on vacation and had a great time together watching TV, listening to her favourite songs and made sure she had her meals. I stayed overnight to ensure her safety. We grew to know and love 💕 Nancy and often visited her at Millcreek. She told the caregivers that we were her best friends – that was so sweet! She’s gone but resides forever in our hearts 💞

Posted on: Wednesday, February 19, 2025We had the pleasure of meeting Nancy many years ago now. She was an amazingly vibrant lady with a beautiful smile. We travelled with Wendy Chuck and Nancy on many trips and cottage adventures over the last few years. We made many lasting memories, played a lot of cards and enjoyed a few drinks and we would not trade those memories for anything. Nancy will always have a special spot in our hearts. We will miss you and speak fondly of you often. Soar high, be free. Your job here is done. It’s time to rest.
