McCarthy Thelma 1

Thelma Edith McCarthy, passed away peacefully at the North Bay Regional Health Center on Tuesday August 21st with her family by her side. She was in her 86th year.

She was predeceased by her loving husband Reg. Dear mother of Dave (Kathy), Steve (Diane), Bob, Cathy (Jamie), Ken (Fay) and Jeff (Theresa).

Loving sister of Harvey (Betty) Norman.

Also predeceased by her brothers Stanley (Evelyn), William (Joan), Arthur (Florence), Gordon, Ernie (Val), Everett (Winnie), and sisters Betty (Al) Jackson, Elsie (Reg) Harling, Bea (George) Passmore, Marg (Bob) Bullock, Jean (Don) Hall.

Lovingly remmebered by her grandchildren Jennifer (Jamie), Derek (Nadine), Jessica (Andrew), Natalie, Kayla (Mike), Cody, Janica (Brock), Justin (Karen), Kimberly (Bryghton), Christie (Ben), Raya and many great grandchildren.

Born in North Bay, Ontario, on September 11th, 1932 to E.W. (Ted) and Augusta Norman. 

Thelma was an avid golfer at the North Bay Golf and Country Club where she achieved one of her two holes in one. The other was in her winter home in Florida where she, along with Reg, enjoyed close friendship and all the wonders of retirement. She was an active member of Omond Memorial Church for many years where she gave her time and support.

Thelma exemplified what it was to love unconditionally, laugh contageously, give unselfishly and most importantly invest everything into family and friendship. She was elegant and strong and both attributes shone bright particularly in facing her illness. She lived her life until the end and owned every minute of it. For those that were so privileged to know and love her we are truely blessed.

Special thanks to Dr. Joel Carter, Dr. Mike Leckie and staff who shared their compassion and professionalism with Thelma and family.

Family would like you to join them at a "Celebration of Life" at the North Bay Golf and Country Club on Monday August 27th, 2018 from 4pm to 8pm.

Contributions to the "End of Life Wishes Fund" at the North Bay Regional Health Center or the Nippising Serenity Hospice would be greatly appreciated.
