Passed away peacefully with her children by her side at her home in
Guelph on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Janet Coady, age 67 years, was the
beloved mother of Todd Coady (Stacey), and Melissa Tonge (Clinton), and
cherished grandmother of Isabella, Reece, Coen, Finn, and Emmett. Janet
was the dear sister of Carol Ann, Mary Lou, David and Mark, and loving
partner of Jean-Pierre Schoch.
Janet will be missed by her friends and colleagues at the Guelph Public
Library where she worked for 30 years. Next to her family, and pride for
her work at the Library, gardening (her third love) filled her soul.
Janet spent years transforming the outside environment of her homes,
from bare lawns into wild botanical oases.
As many know, Janet fought a long and courageous battle with her health
for many years. Her family would like to thank her colleagues and
friends that kept her in their prayers, and to Dr. Shafir, as well as
all of the other incredible and devoted team of nurses and caregivers
that supported her over the years, especially during these unprecedented
times.
Private cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Janet’s life to be
held at a later date. As an expression of sympathy, consider planting a
flower in your garden in her memory, or donations to the Canadian Cancer
Society
would be appreciated by the family. Donation cards are available at the
Gilbert MacIntyre & Son Funeral Home, Dublin Chapel, 252 Dublin St. N.,
Guelph 519-822-4731 or online at www.gilbertmacintyreandson.com
The family will take great comfort, and pride, that her memory will live
on in every plant that she touched, and in the beautiful gardens and
spaces that she created. Please help them in remembering her by taking a
moment and embracing the beauty and smell of a flower in bloom.
