BLISS, Nancy Jean (nee Macaulay)
Suddenly and peacefully after her daily exercise, March 11, 2022. Nancy was born May 26, 1955 in Hamilton, and grew up in Burlington, ON. Nancy joins her mother, Marion (2020) sister, Mary Sue (2016) and father, Malcom (2006). Survived by beloved husband Brian, children Brandon, Matthew (Caroline), Alana and Dallas. Much loved Grammy to Zack and Vince. Sister to Austin, Malcom (Deborah), David (Lesley) and Ian. Sister-in-law to John (Linda) Bliss, Elizabeth Bliss, Brenda Cooling (Jamie) and Paul Rycroft. Auntie and great-auntie to many beloved nieces and nephews. Special lifelong friend to Dekyi Lee Oldershaw.
A lifelong paddler, her focus shifted from being a national-level athlete with Mohawk Canoe Club, to the flora and fauna of the riverbanks. With an intuitive knack for design and people, she took fashion and retail sales at Sheridan College. She loved working with people-her interactions were imbued with positive energy and light-and people in-turn loved her.
Nancy was part of a community of Tom Thompson mums that were actively involved in their children’s education. She was a natural healer. Her healing hands and kindness brought relief to people’s suffering. Even the plants responded, and it showed in all the gardens she nurtured. She cared deeply about all of those around her, and her sensitivity and thoughtfulness showed in every small gesture, blessing everyone she touched.
