Nonee passed away peacefully at home in Kemptville surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. Beloved wife of Wesley, loving mother of Jill (Garth) and Tracy (Dave) and cherished grandmother of Gavin, Amy, Benjamin and Hayden.

Nonee was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland and moved to Canada in 1964 living in St. John New Brunswick, St. Catharines, Thunder Bay and most recently Kemptville. She continued her joy of teaching, became an enthusiastic and expert gardener and challenged herself with her sewing by learning to make clothes, moccasins, and quilts. She touched the lives of everyone she met with her genuine kindness and compassion. Nonee is predeceased by her parents, Ernest and Mary Matthews and brothers Ted and Mike Matthews. A celebration of her life will be held at the Salvation Army Kemptville Church, 2 Oxford Street West at 11:00 am on Monday, October 3, 2016.
