Gladys “Jean” Newans (Joyner) August 20, 1926 – December 1, 2023
Passed away peacefully at Southbridge Long-term Care Home, Kemptville, in her 98th year. Beloved wife of the late Keith Newans for 56 years. Dear daughter of the late Fred Joyner and Evelyn Alberta Donnell. Dear sister of foster brothers Bill and Elroy Cox and brother-in-law of the late Glen Elwood Newans. Survived by nephew Donald Newans (Nancy), great-nephew the late A.J. Newans (Rose), and great-great-nephew Milo. Jean enjoyed her life on the farm, both as a child, and during her married life. She was well-known throughout the area in her career as a music teacher who travelled to all the one-room schoolhouses, bringing the joy of music to her pupils, and organizing dozens of Christmas concerts. She was an accomplished piano, organ and accordion player, as well as a choir director. Jean played at countless weddings, funerals and church services. She was also an avid local historian, leaving a vast quantity of resources that she had meticulously gathered over the years to the North Grenville Historical Society, and writing “All Around the Township”, a book about the places and people of Oxford-on-Rideau Township. Through her music, she touched the lives of many people, and through her documentation of local history, many details of people and places long passed will not be forgotten. Friends are invited to visit the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville on Monday December 11, 2023 from 12 noon until the Service in the Chapel at 1 pm. Interment to follow at the Oxford Mills Union Cemetery. A special thank you to Dr. Leonard, and to the staff at Southbridge for their compassionate care. Donations to the Oxford Mills Community Association or to a charity of your choice gratefully accepted.
