Matthews, Alma Marion Patricia 1933- 2015 A Short Story of a Good Life. Pat Matthews died peacefully on Friday, May 15, 2015, surrounded by family and friends, in her daughter Heath’s home in Nottawa. Alma Marion Patricia was the oldest child of Kate and Bill Jordan, who ran the Creemore Gun Club on their farm on the edge of the Village of Creemore. Pat spent her early years working the switchboard at the Noisy River Telephone Company at Wasaga Beach, sorting tobacco and helping to raise her siblings. Pat was also a certified school teacher. She was never afraid of hard work. Pat met the love of her life, John Donald Matthews in the midst of a gun deal with her Father. They were married in October 1955 in the Anglican Church in Duntroon. They moved to a hilly cattle farm in Mansfield where they raised six children. Pat spent 34 years as the Switchboard Supervisor at Base Borden, where she was adept at keeping everyone connected. The greatest joys in Pat’s life were her children and a legion of friends – who were always welcome no matter the day or the time. There was always a kettle on the stove and biscuits in the oven. Other things that were close to Pat’ s heart were her love of cake decorating, horseback riding, her many dogs through the years, her chickens and her milk cow. In her later years Pat took great joy in a road trip to Alberta, with anyone brave enough to ride shotgun, to see her son Dewy and various nieces and nephews and old family friends. The last four months of Pat’s life were the only time she had experienced bad health. Until this point Pat hadn’t been in a hospital since 1963 when she gave birth to her sixth child. We should all be so lucky!! She is predeceased by her husband Don, sisters Sylvia Grant of Creemore and Joyce (Aubrey) Miller of Feversham and brother Jim Jordan of Creemore. Survived by brother Jerry (Cynthia) Jordan of Creemore, and her sons Lance Matthews, Kerry (Elaine) Matthews of Mansfield, Duane Matthews of Turner Valley, Alberta, and daughters Shawn (Mark) Murphy of Alliston, Heath (Dan) Needles of Nottawa, Ronda (Garry) Williams of Beeton.

Joyce Marilyn Gee (Fenn), 1928 - 2015 Died peacefully with family on Sunday, May 17, 2015. Joyce was born on December 2, 1928 in Windsor, Ontario. At a young age she became part of a large extended family that would enrich her life greatly. In 1948 Joyce married Robert (Bob) Gee, and they added to their family five children: Susan, Mary, David, Ruth and John. The family grew to include spouses: Reed (Smith), Laurie (Gee) and Gisele (Peavoy), as well as eight grandchildren: Sarah, Duncan, Emily, Eric, Norah, Robert, Amy and Rebecca, plus eight great-grandchildren: Tyson, Henry, Nathaniel, Casper, Wyatt, Willem, Charlotte and Jack. Joyce will be remembered with love by her brother Edward and his family, as well as many cousins and friends that have become members of our clan. In 1975, Bob and Joyce moved to Glen Huron, Ontario, otherwise known as ‘Stonecroft’ or ‘The Farm”. This wonderful home became the family’s gathering spot for holidays and celebrations for many years. Joyce will be missed by her family but never forgotten, as the memories she created will last many lifetimes. Joyce lived a life filled with pride. She was the original of repurposed thinking, the source of great lessons and a teacher of decorum. She has passed forward a lifetime of interesting anecdotes and cherished memories. As Joyce would often say: "When an old person dies, a library dies with them". Most importantly, to all she loved, Joyce gave herself. Anyone who knew her received their life lessons from the best and dearest Mother, Sister, Aunt Jo, Grandma Jo or friend Joyce. Hers was a life well lived. Joyce will be reunited with Bob at St. Stephen’s Cemetery in Windsor where they were married so many years ago. A private interment will follow cremation. A reception will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 3 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Church Hall, 5280 Howard Avenue, Windsor. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to The Salvation Army (salvationarmy. ca) and/or the Canadian Mental Health Association (ontario.cmha.ca/getinvolved/donate/).
