I only discovered today that Jan had passed. As a friend of her son Bob, I was amazed that she was always so warm and friendly and a great conversationalist and interested in many things. She huge a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. I know that she will be missed by all her family. - Posted by: Garry Burgess (Friend of Jan's son Bob Whitehill.) on: Dec 10, 2019

Heartfelt thoughts go out today to my Vokey Whitehill Fardy family in Winnipeg who are mourning the loss of their lovely Mother, Grandmother, wife, sister & friend Jeanette Fardy.♥ I had the great fortune of finally meeting Aunt Jeanette & Uncle Jim just 8 or 9 yrs ago on a trek out west. They both welcomed me with open arms & altho the visit was brief, I felt a great connection & remained in touch by phone, cards & letters. Both Jan & Jim are full of fun & energy! This lovely couple were always on the go enjoying golf, curling baseball & just keeping busy & active! As a child I was always told how much I looked like Jan as she & I shared the same freckly female Vokey face with the chubby cheeks! Peace & love be with you Aunt Jeanette, & with no more pain may you continue on in next journey ♥ we send our love to you & yours your neices Dale Vokey (Toronto), & older Sister Leone Wilson (Cobourg) xoxox Youngest & oldest daughters of John Robert Vokey & Florence Buckler - Posted by: Dale Vokey (Niece (youngest Daughter of brother John Robert Vokey)) on: Oct 12, 2012

Aunty Nette, as she was known in my family, was the life of the party. Our family visits to "388" were a high point in our young lives. Our Mom, Agnes Whitehill Jacques, considered Jan her best lifelong friend. A few years ago, Jim & Jan visited us on the west coast and we enjoyed a few days together that left happy memories for my family. Paddy and I offer our sympathy to Jim - you will miss her so much. Our condolences to my cousins and Aunty Jen's family on the east coast. - Posted by: Judy Thomas & Paddy McConville (Niece) on: Oct 10, 2012
