Edith Francis – Obituary/Death Announcement
After first moving to Canada in the 1960s, Edith Francis settled in Paris, Ontario with her husband, the late Beresford Francis, in the 1970s. She passed away peacefully at the age of 85.
A twenty-year veteran of the Children’s Aid Society of Brant, she dedicated her career to serving children and their families.
Mrs. Francis leaves behind her devoted daughter, Claire Francis, sister-in-law, Gemma Monica Henry—wife to her late brother Luther Enoch Henry; his daughters, Tracey Monica Henry and her son, Adrian Stephen Henry, as well as Coleen Henry-Kozelouzek and her husband, David Kozelouzek; her sister-in-law Margaret Janikowski-Henry—wife to her late brother Reuben Henry—and her daughters Megan Henry, Kellye Janikowski, and son Gordon Janikowski; and her sister, Dr. Anesther Shaw. Among her other relatives, Mrs. Francis also leaves behind her cousin Yvette Small and her husband Anthony Small of Toronto, Ontario, cousin Selwyn Paul, and his wife Denell Paul, of Hope Mills, North Carolina, along with several relatives in Trinidad and Tobago, including her dear cousin, Iolanthe Falby.
Ms. Francis was strong and talented. A proud former student of The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, she had the most lovely voice, and enjoyed bursting into song without notice. She always gave her best to any task before her, and worked as hard as she could—well into the last of her senior years—until her circumstances changed, and she had to slow down.
Special thanks to the personnel at Juravinski Cancer Centre and the Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, who cared for Ms. Francis, and comforted her daughter, during her final days. Among other things, she will be remembered for her steadfast faith. As the Psalmist said, “God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved.”
