It is with the utmost sadness that the family of Rhonda Fairley announce her passing on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at the age of 68. Rhonda passed away peacefully at Chapman House Hospice in Owen Sound following a short battle with cancer.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 45 years, John Fairley, her siblings; Bonnie (Steve), Ron, Brad (Michelle), Brian, and sister-in-law Gladys Gordon. Rhonda was a wonderful and kind aunt to all of her nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Ron and Marie (nee Bondi) Fleming, her nephew Jeremy Fleming and brother-in-law Bill Gordon.
Rhonda had a long and successful career with the Bank of Nova Scotia. After moving from Brampton to Thornbury, as she was beginning to enjoy her retirement, she started to take up golf. She was enjoying learning the game and developing new friendships. A hobby she very much enjoyed was shopping and even more so when she was joined by her friends on one of their many road trips. Rhonda will be remembered for her attention to detail; “Cleanliness is next to Godliness”.
The world was a better place with Rhonda in it. We have lost a shining star.
As per Rhonda’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal funeral Mass. However, there will be a Mass in her memory and a celebration of her life at a later date.
Rhonda’s family will be forever grateful for the compassion and kindness she and her family were shown during her end of her life care.
