Gruninger, Fiona Jane
June 16th, 2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fiona Gruninger at University Hospital, on Wednesday, June 16, 2021, after a courageous battle with cancer. During Fiona’s 55 years with us, she was a wonderful daughter, a caring sister, a loving wife, an amazing mother, and a cherished friend. Raised in the small town of Deep River, Ontario, she moved to London where she enjoyed her career as a paediatric nurse at LHSC. She made the best of every moment, spending her time wandering the beach, exploring new trails, photographing rare birds, or baking her famous Mississippi Mud. Despite her struggles, she always faced life with a smile. Loving wife of Greg, she will be greatly missed by her children, Jason (Bianca), Matt (Elyse), and Robyn (Jacob). Fiona is survived by her father, Brian, and Nancy Townes. Predeceased by her mother, Joy Townes. Sister of Geoffrey, Sharon (Greg), and Sherry (Bobby); and aunt to many nieces. The family wishes to thank Fiona’s many friends, as well as her wonderful healthcare team for their kindness, compassion, and support over the past year. Cremation has taken place. At Fiona’s request, there will not be a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to commemorate Fiona’s life are welcome to contact the family about donations toward a park bench in a place she enjoyed.
“Sail away from the safe harbour,
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore, Dream, Discover.”
