Georgina “Georgie” Louise McCance [nee Davey]

‘Always putting others first’

Peacefully on Oct 4,2024 at 105.5 yrs in her Toronto residence. Always proud of her roots, she was born March 27,1919 in St. Thomas ON. to George Davey & Mabel Davey [nee Lockhart]. Predeceased by her middle child Christopher James [1978] and her husband William Meek McCance [1988], she is survived by son William Davey [Deborah] & daughter Anne Louise [Bryan]; Grandchildren Jaclyn [Dan], Jamie [Rich], Micheal [Meghan] as well as her “GG’s”; Ben, Drew, Alden & Myles and step-grands too. A U of T grad and involved alumnus, she was secretly recruited for one of her most intriguing employs with The BSC [headed by Canadian Sir William Stephenson]. Off she went to NYC during WW2! Married in 1951, spent ‘many happy days’ home-making and raising 3 active children on the banks of Lake Huron, leaving Sarnia in 1966 to Don Mills, then other central Toronto locations. So lucky to have a 2nd romance later in life with a gentleman suitor from her pre-war camper days at Taylor Statten Camp [Algonquin Park]. We are delighted to keep ‘the late’ Meredith and his family dear to our hearts. The family gratefully extends our thanks to her care team: Bradgate Arms PSW’s, Nursing & all staff, SRT Med-Staff, VHA. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to: WWF-Canada or UNHCR Canada. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held at Mount Pleasant Funeral Center Sat. Nov. 2,2024 [4-6pm] with interment in the ‘Rose Garden’ for those who wish to join at 3pm sharp.
