Obituary of Faith Ann Roy

Faith Ann Roy (née Buckland), formerly of Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 19th, 2024, at the Hawkesbury General Hospital, at the age of 80.

Faith was the beloved wife of Jean Roy for 60 cherished years, a marriage founded on love and mutual respect. She was the proud mother of the late Darryl (Carolyn), Michael (Madeleine), and Marc (Mary), and the devoted grandmother of Avery, Ulysses, Randall, Alyson, Wylder, Zakari, Jessica, Sarah, and William. Faith’s warm heart and kindness extended to her cousins Lorne (Sue) and Barry (Sue), as well as to her many brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

A talented and creative soul, Faith was an accomplished mixed media artist. She worked with a variety of mediums, including watercolors, acrylics, and ink, and had a true passion for the arts. Outside of her artistic pursuits, Faith enjoyed antiquing, camping, and was a skilled bridge player, often gathering with friends and family for a good game. She will be remembered for her lively spirit, artistic talent, and the loving presence she brought to everyone’s life.

A private service will be held.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff of the Palliative Care Unit at Hawkesbury General Hospital, whose care and support during Faith’s final days will always be remembered with appreciation.

In memory, donations to the Hawkesbury General Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

A Tree of Remembrance in memory of Faith will be planted in the McAlpine Forever Forest, Vankleek Hill.
