After a long goodbye, our beloved Wendy left us quietly moving to a place
of peace. Wendy spent the last five years living with early onset
dementia. In the early years of her diagnosis we were devastated and
overwhelmed with her decline. In the last few years our hope was to
provide a peaceful environment and capture a moment of memory with her,
one that she could smile at with the hopes of bringing comfort and
support.
Wendy was born in Guelph, Ontario on October 26, 1945 to Matt and Margaret
Connor. She was a lifelong resident of Guelph. She is predeceased by her
beloved husband William (Bill) Darmon in 2001, her parents Matt (1969) and
Margaret Connor (1991), her sister Margaret (Fred) Bryant (2014). Wendy is
survived by her brother Jimmy (Gail) Connor, Matt Connor (Manny Lagda),
her nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews; Bill's daughters
Valerie (Sean), Maria (Glen) and Jacinta (Mary) of Ireland and England,
and siblings Kathleen (Ray) and Tony (Agnes); and Bill's grandchildren.
We will be eternally grateful to the staff and friends of Riverside Glen
Long Term Care, particularly those of the Nichol and Arthur
neighbourhoods. Your care and support of our cherished Wendy over these
last few years was comforting to all of us. Donations appreciated to the
Waterloo Wellington Alzheimer Society or the Guelph Humane Society.
Family and friends will be received at Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral
Home, 252 Dublin Street North, Guelph, Ontario, on Saturday, December 21,
2019 from 10:30 a.m. until noon. Service in the chapel at noon. A
reception will follow at the funeral home. She was loved by many and will
be missed.
Love begets love.
