Obituary of Meryl Junkin
Junkin, Elva “Meryl” (nee. Goodhand)
Our Mother passed away peacefully in her 94th year, on Saturday February 22nd, 2020 in the company of her granddaughter at Fenelon Court LTC in Fenelon Falls. After a long life of devotion to her family, Providence United Church and the U.C.W., she has been reunited in heaven with the love of her life, Ross Junkin (1984). She was the most loving Mother of Evelyn Telford, the late Eric (Marian), Lionel (Donna), Brenda (John) Anderson, Diane (Robert) Poulsom and Larry (Jennie). “Grandma J” was truly cherished by Jeff, Karen, Jessi (Zack), Julie, Mike (Kim), Angela, Curtis, Kristin, Vanessa (Will) and Evan and her great-grandchildren Brody, Owen, Carley, Reese, Reegan, Dawson, Ruby, Courtney, Kylie, Heidi and Ovi. Meryl will be missed by her sister Vivian Wilson and sister-in-law Mae Goodhand. She was predeceased by siblings Dorothy Falls, Velma Jones, Betty Beatty and Claude Goodhand. Her family of six children, 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, spouses and significant others meant the world to her. Mother always presented a warm and welcoming home and was well known for her hospitality and generosity. She loved to bake, but loved to host and share even more. Treats and goodies for all! She was a caring and giving woman who always thought of others first and she will be forever loved and dearly missed by all her family.
