Obituary of Jennifer Borden

BORDEN, Jennifer Crawford It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jenny on Saturday, January 5, 2008 after an eight-year battle with cancer. Beloved wife of Robert L. "Bob" for over 53 years; loving mother of Michael (Laurie) of West Vancouver, Meg Johnston (Peter) of Burlington and Julie Bullen (Chris) of Newmarket; grandmother to Sarah, Alison and Laura Borden, Trevor and Jeremy Johnston, and Kaitlyn, Jennifer and Kitchener Bullen; great-grandmother to Logan McQuigge. Predeceased by her parents Jack and Joan Crawford and her brother John, she will be forever remembered by sisters Joanna (Milton) Wilson and Gill (Johnny) Fleming. Family was very important to her and she is also remembered by her many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews in Canada and around the world and her mother-in-law, Jean C. Borden. Jenny was a thoughtful, caring and giving person with rarely a harsh word to be said. She loved a good book at the cottage in Muskoka, playing bridge, badminton and tennis with her friends and was a regular at St. John's York Mills for over 45 years. The family would like to extend their thanks to Dr. Kevin Imrie and June, the nurses and staff at Sunnybrook (C3) Health Sciences Centre and Arnet Ebanks for their compassion and care over the past month. The family will receive friends at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME - A.W. MILES CHAPEL, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Eglinton Avenue East), from 4-8 p.m. on Tuesday, January 8th. A funeral service will be held at one o'clock on Wednesday, January 9th in ST. JOHN'S YORK MILLS ANGLICAN CHURCH, 19 Don Ridge Drive (www.stjohnsyorkmills.com). A reception will follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, 20 Holly Street, Suite #101, Toronto, Ontario M4S 3B1 would be appreciated.
