MCNABB, LAURA FRANCES (nee LENNOX)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Laura Frances (nee Lennox) McNabb at the Stayner Care Centre on Monday, July 7^th, 2025, aged 91.  She is predeceased by her loving husband Allan, son Bill, grandson Jonathon, parents (Clara and Frank), sister Pat (Elliott) and brothers Bill, Larry and Greg. She is survived by her sister Jennifer Roberts (Gord), brother Andrew Lynn (Cathy) and children Cathy (Philip) Caston, James (Kathy), John (Carol), Rob (Shelley) and Ed (Roberta), 14 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Laura was born on December 3, 1933, in Thornton but raised mainly in Barrie. At the age of eighty she said she had had the best life:  20 years at home; 20 years raising her family with Allan in Edenvale, 20 years working with the Simcoe County Health Unit and then 20 years retired. She was devoted to family, community, volunteer work and Minesing United Church, filling the house with family, laughter, good food, flowers from her garden and a great sense of fun.

A private family graveside service will be held at Minesing Union Cemetery on Saturday, July 12^th at 11 am with a Celebration of Life open to all immediately afterwards at the Grenfel Community Centre (1989 Sunnidale Road) at 12:00 noon.  A short period for speeches will be held at 1:30.
