Jacqueline Holmes

October 11, 2018

September 14th, 1941 – October 11th, 2018 Jacqueline died peacefully in the presence of her friends the evening of October 11th, just past 7:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Medically, Jacqueline passed away from complications following surgery on Oct. 9th. In truth, her body, worn down by 77 years of a life well and thoroughly lived, had finally had enough. We will miss her pixie spirit, her very English eccentricities, her warm and caring nature, her friendship. In keeping with her wishes, her ashes will be scattered at Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Saturday, November 10th at 12:00 p.m. Those wishing to attend this solemn ceremony are invited to meet at the Cemetery Office, through the gates on the east side of Mount Pleasant Road, shortly before noon. Those wishing to join us in taking Jacqueline on one last hike will meet ahead of time, at 11:30 a.m., in front of her building, 100 Merton Street, for the 20 minute walk to the cemetery. All her friends are then invited to gather at the building that was her home for the past 15 years: Jacqueline Holmes: A Celebration of Life and Friendship The Common Room, Main Floor The Hospital Workers’ Housing Co-Op 100 Merton St., Toronto 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, November 10th, 2018 Reception with refreshments, as requested by Jacqueline, to follow
