Josephine Evans Obituary
JO EVANS (TILLEY)
June 21, 1928 – November 22, 2024
On November 22, 2024, Josephine Evans passed away and was relieved of all her illness and pain. Left to mourn is her daughter Pamela. Jo was predeceased by her birth parents Joseph Murray and Maude Tilley Murray, her adoptive parents Frank and Mabel Tilley and her sister Mae Tilley Lokar.
She started her banking profession in Leamington, Ontario and completed it working 30 years in Detroit, Michigan. Jo rose from bookkeeper to Assistant V.P.
During this time, she was active in her church St. John’s Anglican and also a girls athletic activity known as the Junior Athletic Club aka J.A.C. This group provided a variety of experiences for young people that today is taken for granted.
After retiring early due to illness, Jo started another 30-year career in volunteering for St. John’s Anglican Church, Leamington Hospital, Blood Clinics, Lions Club, Special Olympics, the Salvation Army and Christmas Kettle to name a few. Due to her efforts and dedication, she received awards, Citizen of the Year twice, Volunteer of the Year, the June Callwood Outstanding Achievement Award and Honorary Lions Club Membership. Jo appreciated the recognition but what pleased her most was the working together with other volunteers in the different groups raising funds, achieving a goal and also having fun. If someone or some organization needed help, Jo was right there.
She dealt with some illnesses throughout her life; cancer three times, recurring heart failure, arthritis and dystonia affecting her eyes for over 40 years. If you wish to make a donation, it would be appreciated to go towards the Arthritis Society or the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation of Canada.
Jo often led the way for her family, friends and co-workers. We are all so lucky to have those memories.
The memorial service to celebrate Josephine’s life will be held at the Reid Funeral Home, 14 Russell Street, Leamington, Ontario (519-326-2631) on Monday, December 2, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. with visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. Interment to follow at Lakeview Cemetery.
