Josephine (Jo) Finlayson

October 2, 1929 - August 3, 2017

In loving memory of Josephine Finlayson, born October 2, 1929, who passed away August 3, 2017 at Hardy View Lodge.

She leaves her children Gillian, Roderick, and Jane; her grandchildren Julia, Alex, Eric, Amelia, and Saffron; sister Daphne as well as nieces and nephews.

Jo was born in Alberta, and in the 50's moved to Scotland with her husband Morrison where she worked as a lab technician. She later developed a passion for horticulture and gardening, earning a Master Gardner certificate. She volunteered as a guide at the Montreal Botanical Gardens, and worked in the gardens at Government House in Victoria.

She loved spending time with her family, and cherished her grandchildren. She was an amazing mom and will be greatly missed. Thank you to the staff and residents at Silver Kettle, home support caregivers, as well as staff at Hardy View for their kindness and support.
