86 years, It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Armstrong. He lost his battle with cancer but not his sense of humour. James passed peacefully with his family by his side on Tuesday February 2, 2021 at Erie Shores Hospice. Loving husband and best friend of Patricia (Campbell) of 40 years. Beloved father of Ken (Cheryl) and the late Robert (1995). James had 4 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, 2 nieces and 1 nephew. Loved brother of Marilyn ( Jack). Predeceased by his parents Jim (1989) and Dorothy (Hope) (1959). James was an employee of Heinz for many years. He enjoyed many rounds of golf with his buddies at Erie Shores and many years of bowling with friends at Empire Lanes. We would like to thank Dr. Simpson for all his care and compassion and to all the wonderful people at hospice. We would also like to thank the staff and friends at Seacliff manor. Special thanks to Lourdes (nurse) and Sylvia (his little squirrel). A private family service has taken place.

Jacobs, Mary Catherine (Farkas) October 22, 1932 - February 2, 2021
It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our mother, Mary Jacobs, on February 2, 2021 at age 88. Reunited with her loving husband Fredrick Jacobs; her daughter Michelle Kennedy ( Jacobs); and her parents Joseph and Mary Farkas. She is survived by her daughter Mary Anne Ryder, husband David and their children Kyrra and Michelle; her daughter Elise Garant, husband Randy and their children Jesse ( Jessica); Katy (Remi) and Cory; her son Fred, wife Joanne and their son Matthew; her son Michael, wife Margaret and their children Adrian and Isabel; her son Christopher, wife Lori and their children Carly and Maya. She is also survived by her sister Katherine Seaman (late Harry); brother Joseph Farkas (Lillian); and brother John Farkas (Margaret). Mary will be missed by many nieces and nephews; great-nieces and great-nephews; other extended family members and many dear friends. Mary was a kind, loving, generous, and spiritual woman. Her middle name should have been Love because she definitely knew how to love unconditionally. She was considered the family Matriarch and was highly respected by her family and friends. Family was at the forefront of Mary’s life; her moto was “family comes first” a true testament to her family commitment. She was never at a loss for words and always had a way of making you feel extra special. There was never a question in her intention; she was pure in her exchanges and simplistic in her love. Due to Covid19 restrictions a private family funeral will be held. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice or by contacting Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington (519-326-2631). Friends may share memories at www.reidfuneralhome.ca
