MCARTHUR , Jane Lorraine McArthur

With gratitude for a life well lived, the family of Jane Lorraine McArthur shares her peaceful passing on Thursday, August 14, 2025, at St. Marys Memorial Hospital.

Jane was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Altha; her siblings, Doris, Betty, and Bruce; her husband, Donald; her son, Kim; and her daughter-in-law, Carol.

She will be deeply missed by her son, Shawn (Soheila), and by her grandsons Cory (Renee), Mark (Erin), Robert, Darius, and Daniel. Jane will also be lovingly remembered by her great-grandchildren Magdalene, Chloe, Maryn, Henry, Benjamin, Jack, Everett, and Annie, along with many extended family members and friends.

Jane had a gentle spirit and a gift for bringing joy to those around her. She loved spending time with her family and friends and cherished the many years she spent gathering with her “Circle” group. An artistic soul, Jane created many beautiful paintings that will be treasured for years to come.

Jane dedicated many years of her life to educating children, touching many young lives with her care and guidance. She and her husband, Donald, spent the majority of their years in St. Marys, with brief periods living in Toronto and on Vancouver Island.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Gatfield, who cared for Jane over many years and in her final days, as well as to the dedicated nursing staff at St. Marys Memorial Hospital. Also, our thanks to the wonderful, caring staff of Kingsway/Fairhill, Jane’s last home.

A Memorial Open House will be held at the WESTOVER INN, 300 Thomas St., St. Marys, on Sept. 14th from 2 – 5 pm with Words of Remembrance at 3 pm.
