Joan (Jackie) Stuart Creed (nee Jarnett) of Ajax, Ontario, passed away peacefully at the age of 103 on April 19, 2025.
She was born on February 26, 1922, in Liverpool, England to Alfred and Frances Jarnett.
It is hard to summarize what an incredibly full life she led; as a WWII Veteran (WREN), and librarian by trade, Jackie was known for being well-read, well-traveled, and very quick-witted. No matter where she lived, whether England, the Netherlands, or Canada – she was always involved in her community, and as such she was blessed with many close friends that she cherished.
She is predeceased by her husband of 70+ years, Reginald Creed; as well as her three sisters, Molly, Betty and Lily.
She is survived by her brother, Peter, as well as her three sons Michael, Stephen, and Patrick, her 6 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren.
Jackie will be remembered for her strength, spirit, and the love she shared. She will be greatly missed by all those fortunate enough to have known her.
