Obituary of Nancy Jane Kearney

Kearney, Nancy Jane (McGlade) It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Nancy Jane Kearney (nee McGlade) at the Perth hospital on Saturday, August 18, 2018, in her 71st year. Nancy was the beloved wife and best friend of Robert (Bob) Kearney for 49 years. She was the loving mother of Cindy Dyke (Jack Taylor), Bryan (Anna Born) and Jason (Marsali Federico), and proud grandmother of Kristy, Siara, Declan and Lennox. She was the dear sister of Theresa Shannon (Carl), Joan Hodges, and Stephen McGlade (Cathy), and sister-in-law of Graham O'Neil and Bill Kelford. She was the daughter of the late Alice and Clifford McGlade of Stanleyville, and is predeceased by sisters Helen O'Neil, Irene Kearney, Ann McMunn, Judy Kelford and brothers-in-law Blair McMunn and Gordon Hodges. Nancy will be remembered by her many nieces & nephews. She spent most of her working life in banking, first at the Scotia Bank then Royal Bank in Perth, and later at the Royal Bank in Sharbot Lake, retiring in 2011. Nancy enjoyed her coworkers and the many customers she came to know. Her final six years were spent living with breast cancer. She faced her illness with determination, unmeasurable courage and a positive attitude. She loved life and chose to live each day to its fullest. She was always kind and gracious to everyone around her. She taught us that in the face of adversity, we can find strength and serenity by focusing on the many good things in life. We will miss her. Friends and family will gather for a service to be held in the Chapel of the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Friday, August 24th, 2018 at 10:00 A.M. A reception to honour her life and share memories will follow in the Blair & Son Family Centre. In remembrance of Nancy, contributions to Irving Greenburg Family Cancer Centre, 3045 Baseline Road, Ottawa, On., K2H 8P4
