It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Kingston in a retirement home in Ottawa on September 23, 2022.

Nancy was born in Burk’s Falls, Ontario. She received her teaching certificate from North Bay Teacher’s College before moving to Toronto to teach. She married Kenneth Kingston in Burk’s Falls in 1962.

Nancy enjoyed a distinguished 38-year career teaching in the Scarborough Board of Education, teaching full time while earning her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Toronto in the evenings. She retired to Big Gull Lake, Ontario, where she had more time to enjoy her hobbies of reading, gardening, watching the Blue Jays (win or lose), and swimming in the lake from spring to fall. She enjoyed retirement with Ken and the company of friends and family for many happy years. She was active with the local cottage association, eventually serving as president.

Survived by sister Mary Burke (Jim), sister-in-law Mary Kingston, niece Heather Burke, nephews Stephen Burke, Scott Haddow, Stephen King, Michael Kingston, Evan and Hugh Kingston, their respective spouses and 9 greatnephews and 5 great-nieces.
