Jennifer Reid
March 29, 2022
Our dear mother, Jennifer Reid, passed away in her sleep on Tuesday, March 29th, 2022 in her 72nd year, surrounded by her sons (Philip, Sean, Chris, Erik) and siblings (Arlene, June, Rodger, Charmaine). Jennifer was predeceased by her husband Wayne Reid.
Beloved by all who knew her, Jennifer was known as a faithful and compassionate leader in her church community, her work in property valuation, and union life with OPSEU as a local president. To her sons, Jennifer was a deeply caring, encouraging, and loving mother. To her siblings and broader family, Jennifer was a matriarchal figure whose home was long known as a “home away from home” for siblings, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, her church family, and friends who became family.
Jennifer’s impact on family and friends has been extensive and now is survived by her siblings, sons, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and grandchildren from each of her sons.
As a woman of faith, Jennifer loved the Lord and lived with a strength and hope that inspired many others in her life. She will be missed dearly and always. Now, as we move forward we hold onto our hope that we will see her again when we are reunited in Christ.
Memorial service will be conducted at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London on Tuesday, April 26, 2022 at 11:00 a.m., with visitation one hour prior.

Like your Grandmother, your Mom a very kind, caring person. Will miss hearing her voice.
As one of the past managers at the Ministry of Finance, London Assessment Office, I knew Jennifer to be kind, honest, friendly and resourceful. I am disappointed that we did not have an opportunity to work together more closely as she was never assigned to my group. Her passing is a sad loss for all who knew her.
Sorry we can’t be there. May Our Dear Cousin. Rest in Peace. Xx XX

My big sister it is difficult to even think of you without crying, you will be missed. You were strong beyond words when you were struck with this horrible disease and you told me of your pain in getting up in the morning I told you I would just have died, but you have always been strong. You were never one to complain, even when things were not to your liking. I remember you and Arls looking for me to do my chores and me hiding. Learning from you both to sew and even cook when Mom came to Canada, the fun we had as children, you grabbing a belt to spank me and me easily out running you. I pray for those simpler days but we will meet again in a earth made new no more pain, no more death, where we shall walk and talk and the sun shall be our Lord and savior Jesus Christ until then farewell.
I was so sad to hear Jennifer had left us We were friends in the labour movement and Jennifer was a true social Justice advocate RIP Rest In Power Sister
Sean, you have been my closest friend and brother. No one could ever replace what relationship we have together. It utterly breaks my heart to see you go through such struggle and pain.

I love you sooooo very much Sean my brother for life!!! 💙 -Love always, Prez (Isaac) CHURCH bro

My Dear sister, losing you is like losing a part of my life. We spoke practically every day. You were my confidant, my friend, my big sister. I thank God for you. You never judged, you always had time to listen, and you rarely complained, even when you were in a lot of pain. You have left such an impact on my life and people who were fortunate enough to know you. Our faith tells us we will be together again. Rest in Peace my sister until we are reunited

I miss you tremendously. Thank you for being a good friend and mentor . Weve shared alot of memories full of laughter and had quite a bit of adventures. Still remember panicking because I lost you at the superstore... Or you grabbing your hatchet when there was flashlight man. Krazy your favorite blue egg laying hen sneaking in . She and Athena are at living in a good little home with good people. Watching I love Lucy together . All your child hood stories . Your honest opinions on my cooking . Bring a listening ear . I'm still looking for our big rooster that was supposed to be our next adventure. I will not stop till we both see he is ok . It's hard not hearing you call my name . I love you my dearest friend.
