Agnes Jean (Nan) Morgan (nee Barry)

A great lady has left this world but will never leave our hearts. On Saturday evening, February 16, 2008, at St. Joseph’s Health Centre, surrounded by her family, Nan died as she lived, with dignity, courage and peace. She was ready to reunite with Bruce, her beloved husband and soul mate of 63 years on this anniversary week of his death (2007). Born August 14, 1920 in Hamilton, Ontario, the only child of the late James Edie Barry and Janet Dick McLean Frew (of Hamilton, Scotland). Loving mother to a large and extended family: Ann (John), Barry (Nancy), Christopher (Ann), Leslie, Robert (Barb) and Ellen and Ian Hadden. A champion of all her grandchildren: Mary Ann (Nick), James (Lee), Jonathan, Sarah, Noel, Jacob, Nicole, Eric, Paul, Emma, Madison and Keaton, Christopher, Jennifer (Pam) and Joseph. Proud Great-grandmother of Zachary Morgan France born this Jan.1. Fondly remembered by her nephews, Rick (Bonnie) and Ken (Rebecca). Special Grandmother to all the Bouabane family. Cherished by her many friends in London, Belleville, Toronto and by those she met in our numerous postings around Canada. Heartfelt thanks to Nan’s special caregivers, Ann and Noreen, whose company she truly enjoyed since her move to High Park last summer. In recognition of Nan’s life-long passion for the care of the environment donations to The Trans Canada Trail are gratefully acknowledged. “A Celebration of Life” will be held on Thursday, February 21 at 2:30pm. Visitation at 1:30-2:30pm at the Ridley Funeral Home, 3080 Lake Shore Blvd. West, 416-259-3705. Nan was an inspiration to all those whose lives she touched. Her wisdom, compassion and sense of humour crossed all generations and the exemplary life she led served as a role model for her children, grandchildren and her many friends of all ages. We will miss her so much but will take comfort in remembering her favourite words of farewell:

“I Bless You In My Heart”
