Obituary for Jean Kirley

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Mother, Jean Marie Kirley, nee O’Neill, on Sunday, March 14, 2021 at the age of 92. Mom has gone to join her beloved husband of 61 years, Joe (Joseph when he was in trouble). Treasured mother to Kevin, Jo-Anne, David and Mary Brigid (Jason) Ayotte. Survived by her loving siblings Patrick (Bonnie) O’Neill, Martha (Joe) Creally and Elizabeth (Hugh) Smith. Pre-deceased by her devoted parents Albert and Edna O’Neill and her siblings John (Bud) (Dianne), Paul (Shirley), Peter, Donald (Jean), and Con (Diane). Dear sister-in-law to Rosemary, Bernard, Austin (Jean), Gertrude, Louis (Jean), Ann (George) Hodgson, Peter (Mary), Gregory (Nora) and Father Kevin. Cherished grandmother to Richard, Sheryl, Ashley, Courtney, Jacob and Max and great grandmother to McKenna, Kayla, Abby, Madisen and Maren. Mom is fondly remembered by her many nieces and nephews scattered across the Country.
Due to COVID 19 restrictions a private Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Mary’s Church in Lindsay, Saturday March 20th, 2021 at 11:00a.m. A Zoom link is provided below for anyone who would like to join virtually. Please copy and paste the link below into your internet browser.

Interment will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Lindsay. Mom was looking forward to a post COVID party with all her family and friends enjoying lots of hugs and kisses, so in honour of her wishes, a celebration of life will take place when it is safe to do so.

We would like to extend our deepest thanks to the Staff at Victoria Manor for their dedication and excellent care of our dear mother over the past three years. We would also like to thank the Palliative Care Unit at Ross Memorial Hospital whose compassionate care in Mom’s final few hours was appreciated beyond words.
