She leaves behind her legacies, Dr. David-she always insisted on the Dr.-Jones (Kim); Darcy (Damion) Ketchum; and Janna (Tone) Jones.

Remembered with affection by Lisa Jones. Isabelle was the daughter of David and Janet (Nettie) Smith. She was an empathetic, and sensitive mother who put everything into raising her children with love, kindness, and much humour.

FLYNN, Margaret “Maggie”…

Peacefully in her sleep at home, Margaret “Maggie” passed away on Saturday, April 18, 2026 in her 71st year. Beloved wife of Michael Flynn for 48 years. Loving mother of Erin Flynn (Adam Taylor) and Julie O’Donnell (Martin). Proud nana of Josephine and Ivy.

Predeceased by her parents Fred and Kate, and her brother Gary.

Maggie found her greatest joy at Ipperwash Beach, where she spent countless summers surrounded by family, trailers, and cozy cottages, creating memories that will be cherished for generations. She had a natural gift for bringing people together, whether hosting lively gatherings or being the heart of any celebration she attended. She loved to travel, especially anywhere with water, and enjoyed simple adventures like day trips on the motorcycle, embracing every moment along the way. Deeply devoted to her family, she especially adored her granddaughters, who brought her endless pride and happiness. Maggie loved the outdoors, whether tending to her garden or soaking in the peace of the beach, she was happiest under the open sky. She took great pride in her career in retail, retiring from Costco after many dedicated years, where she built not only a strong work legacy but also many lasting friendships.

BASSIL, Winnifred “Ann”…

September 2, 1938 – April 13, 2026

Winnifred “Ann” Bassil passed peacefully on April 13, 2026 at the age of 87. Ann is predeceased by her parents Reginald and Winona Bassil, brother Richard Bassil (Jill), her son Steven Anderson (Gloria), as well as her nephew Allan Bassil.

Ann is survived by her devoted daughter Tracey (Jeff) Siderius (nee Anderson), granddaughters Emily Siderius (Nick), Stephanie Siderius, Courtney Anderson (Derek), and Natalie Anderson (Lachlan).

She is fondly remembered by niece Jennifer Kaluzniak (Darryl), nephew Chris Bassil (Barb), as well as many other nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Ann was born in Innisfail, Alberta and spent her childhood on farms in Olds, Didsbury, and Dewinton area. She moved to Calgary in 1950 and graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Holy Cross Hospital in 1960. She married Robert William (Bob) Anderson and headed East to Windsor, Ontario, where she started her career in a neurosurgical operating room. In 1966, the family moved to Dorchester, Ontario where Ann worked as a Secretary for St. David’s Catholic School and as a Receptionist and Instructor for St. John’s Ambulance. After 38 devoted years of marriage, Bob and Ann divorced.

Ann was a faithful and active member of St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Dorchester for 52 years in all capacities. Her passion for floral design led her to join the London Health Science Centre’s Auxiliary, volunteer in their Flower and Gift Shop, and hold membership with the local Horticultural Society.

Her love of sports included NHL Hockey, Blue Jays Baseball, the Olympics, Curling, and her beloved Spruce Meadows. Ann loved horses.

Caring for Ann since 2018, were Dr. George Kim and the attentive, kind, supportive staff of the Dearness Home in London, Ontario. Each of them played a meaningful role in her comfort and wellbeing. Their kindness, professionalism, and dedication touched her life, and ours, deeply. We are profoundly grateful. Special kudos to Mom’s hairdresser, Roz.

To my cherished friend Billie Latham, you are a blessing and I love you. T

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association or the Alzheimer’s Society would be appreciated.

CARTER, Norris Keane…

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Norris Keane Carter, who died peacefully at his home in London, Ontario, Canada on April 14, 2026, at the age of 95. Born on March 29, 1931 in Bigwoods, St. Elizabeth Parish, Jamaica, Norris passed just two and a half weeks after celebrating his 95th birthday. He was in good spirits the day before and slipped away quietly in the early morning hours.

Norris was the son of the late Hubert Carter and the late Florence Carter (née Blake). He was predeceased by his siblings Willie, Milton, and Ruby, as well as his ex-wife Delacleta Carter.

He is survived by his loving daughters Sharon Carter and Edmarie Carter; his cherished grandchildren Dawson Carter, Hilton Maurer, Cameron Maurer, and Sydney Maurer; and many nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, and other dear family members and descendants.

Full of life lessons and stories from the old country, Norris worked hard his entire life and took great pride in depending on others for very little- even into his nineties, he insisted on doing everything for himself to maintain his independence. A skilled carpenter like his father before him, he also worked as a chauffeur and gofer in Jamaica. Having grown up with very little, Norris took pride in supporting his children and grandchildren in their academic and professional pursuits – opportunities he never had.

He loved gardening, golf, baseball, and cricket, and remained deeply spiritual and devoted to Jesus Christ throughout his life. Norris met Delacleta in 1956 at the age of 25. Their daughter Sharon was born in 1961, followed by Edmarie in 1962. Delacleta came to Canada in 1963, paving the way for Norris to arrive with their daughters in in 1967. The couple married and settled in London, Ontario. By 1972, they purchased the family home on Wharncliffe Road, where Norris lived for the rest of his life.

He worked as an LTC operator from the 1980s until his retirement in 1996, after which he happily spent his retirement years tending his garden and enjoying time with his four grandchildren.

Norris will be fondly remembered for his quiet strength, unwavering independence, and deep faith. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.

SINCLAIR, Catherine Nicole “Nicole”…

On Thursday, April 9 we lost our precious Nicole following a lengthy illness. Nicole passed peacefully at Victoria Hospital, London with family at her bedside.

Nicole will be forever missed by her brother Joe, mother Bonnie and father Alan. She is lovingly remembered by many cousins, aunts and uncles, extended family and many friends. She will be especially missed by her best friend Brody (the beagle) – who now has a new family thanks to friends at Save Me Dog Rescue. That was Nicole’s wish.

Nicole loved her career in the hospitality business where she was successful and happy and formed many lasting friendships. Nicole’s passion was her involvement in rescuing, fostering and facilitating adoption of dogs needing rescue. She had much love to give and many dogs and their adoptive families are now happy as a result. Nicole took great joy and displayed her creativity through painting, pottery, writing and gardening.

A farewell to Nicole will be held at Elmwood Avenue Presbyterian Church, 111 Elmwood Avenue East, London on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 2:00 pm. Reception and visiting will follow. Cremation has taken place.

Mizzen, Mary Jane….

Following a life well lived and full of love, Mary Jane Mizzen passed away on Friday, April 10, 2026, at the age of 78, surrounded by family. Mary Jane Mizzen (née Thibert) was born in 1947 in Windsor, Ontario, to Clarence and Jean Thibert. She later moved to London, where she met the love of her life and devoted husband, Terry. Together, they built a life rooted in love, family, friendship, and quiet generosity. Mary Jane and Terry had a special relationship that one can only dream of. They enjoyed travelling extensively but also took great pleasure in life’s simple pleasures, including sharing a cup of tea each day while completing daily word games.

Mary Jane was a deeply loving mother to her four sons: Michael (Kelly), Scott (Shari), Brent (Erica), and David (Dianamari). Nothing brought her greater joy than her role as “Grandma” to Brendan, Connor, Kyle, Kayla, Nicole, Caiden, Jacob, Emily, and Joaquin, all of whom she adored and spoke of with immense pride. She was a proud sister to Bob (Nancy) and Barb (Les). Dearly missed by her mother-in-law Mary and her sister-in-law Janice (Fred).

Mary Jane dedicated her life to caring for others. Mary Jane first trained as a nurse before selflessly pausing her career to raise her four boys. When the time was right, she returned to nursing, devoting more than 20 years to Palliative Care, where her compassion, kindness, and steady presence brought comfort to countless individuals and families during their most difficult moments.
During her brief illness, Mary Jane was surrounded by the people she loved most-her husband, children, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, siblings, and many friends. True to who she was, even in her final days she focused not on herself, but on the well-being of others.

On Friday, April 3, Mary Jane spent a warm, sunny afternoon with her family celebrating Easter-an unexpected and precious gift that her family will cherish forever. She smiled, laughed, and enjoyed some of her favourite foods alongside Terry, her siblings, children, and grandchildren. Simple moments brought Mary Jane the greatest joy, and that afternoon reflected the life she lived. More than once that afternoon, she paused and said, “Isn’t this unbelievable?”-a sentiment that perfectly captured her gratitude and love for her family in those final days.

Mary Jane and Terry shared many happy years curling at the Ilderton Curling Club, where they formed lasting friendships. Her curling career fittingly ended on a high note, earning seven points in a single end-an achievement made even more meaningful as she courageously continued to compete despite her cancer diagnosis.

Mary Jane and her family are grateful for the outpouring of love and support that they received from family and friends during her final days. The family is also profoundly grateful for the exceptional, compassionate care provided by St. Joseph’s Hospice of London, including the dedicated staff and the many volunteers whose warmth and generosity brought comfort to Mary Jane and her loved ones. The family would also like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nelson Chan for his kind, attentive, and deeply respectful care.

In lieu of flowers, Mary Jane and her family kindly ask that donations be made to St. Joseph’s Hospice of London, in appreciation of the care provided to patients and families during life’s most tender moments.

Mary Jane will be remembered for her gentle heart, unwavering devotion to family, and a lifetime spent caring for others. Her love lives on in every life she touched.

Friends will be received by the family from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. The Celebration of Mary Jane’s life will be held in the funeral home chapel on Friday, April 17, 2026 at 11:00 am. For those unable to attend in person, the Celebration of Life Service will be livestreamed on the AMG Funeral Home YouTube channel. Private Interment in St. Peter’s Cemetery, London.
