In Loving Memory of Jocelyn Mary Muriel McInnes (nee Desjardins)
It is with great sadness that the family of Jocelyn Mary Muriel McInnes (nee Desjardins) announce her passing on Monday, September 19, 2022, at the age of 90, at Health Sciences North, Sudbury, ON with loving family at her side.
Beloved mother of John Scott McInnes (Carina) and predeceased by Kelly Ann McInnes (Bill). Cherished daughter of the late William and Florange Desjardins. Loving sister of Rhea Harris (Ron) (predeceased), Colleen Desjardins, and William Desjardins. Loving Noni of John Kosar (Leeann), and Billy Kosar (Becca). Cherished great-grandmother of Colt and Bennett Kosar. Jocelyn was also a loving aunt, cousin, dear friend, and community member.
She spent her working career as a teacher with a special love and aptitude for music. Jocelyn had a passion for singing, playing the piano, and conducting music. She was a beloved member of the Northern Echoes Senior Choir as well as her choir at Saint Patrick's Church. She was also a member of the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario as well as the Retired Teachers of Ontario.
Jocelyn was a kind, loving, and generous soul who brightened the lives of everyone she encountered. Jocelyn lived a long and full life who loved spending time with her family and friends. We will all miss her dearly.
The family will share time together but as per Jocelyn's wishes there will be no funeral service.
I’ve been in the choir with Jocelyn since 1955. I have many fond memories of her being a director and our time together. She will forever be missed. May you rest in piece.
