It is with great sadness that the family of Jane Teresa Chisholm announce her peaceful passing, surrounded by family at home on December 9, 2023, in her 70th year after a very brave fight with cancer. Jane will be remembered for her unwavering love of her husband, children, grandchildren and her ability to show warmth and good humour to all.
Beloved wife of Ron Chisholm. Loving mother of Jamie (Lori), Paul (Lynn) & loving aunt of John Schotts.
Adored grandmother of Vanessa (Briar), Alaiya, Ciara, Ethan, Hunter & Lola.
Loving sister-in-law to many close brother and sisters-in-law whose steadfast support and compassion particularly in the last year and a half has been astounding.
Predeceased by her father, Abraham vanEendenburg; mother Cornelius vanEendenburg, brother; Brahm vanEendenburg and sister; Corry Schotts originally of Holland and settled in Bluewater township, Ontario.
With her passing, Jane is leaving behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and generosity to all those lucky enough to be closest to her. She was a great listener with a willingness to grow, learn and love in all aspects of life.
She was a dedicated employee of Community Living for several years before stepping away to retire early and further experience all that life had to offer.
Jane loved to travel, be active and be near the water, which is why they resided in the quaint lakeside village of Port Albert 38 years ago, where they created lifelong bonds with neighbours, loved her community and certainly visited the water any chance she got. As much as she loved travel, she loved sharing her travel joys with family and often planned to take a grandchild or 2 or 3 with them on their amazing adventures whether it was for a day or a month! These blessed adventures were what her children and grandchildren reminisced about right to the end.
A celebration of Jane’s life will take place in the new year, to be announced at a later date. The Chisholm Family wishes to thank the staff of One Care & Care Partners with their kind and compassionate care. For those who wish to honour Jane’s legacy, donations may be made to the Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

Ron Jamie Paul and Family. I have known Jane since she was 10, and I was 11. Through the decades, school, marriage, children and grandchildren, we shared many happy and fun times together. I will remember these treasured times just like it was yesterday. In loving memory always. Eda Greydanus, (nee Steegstra).

Ron, Jamie and Paul and all the Chisholm family and nephew John. I am so sad and sorry to hear the loss of Jane. I have known Jane since we were young and have such fond memories of her and all the crazy things we did. Hanging out with Eda and driving around in her dad’s big chev, her Karmann ghia and her pinto. So much fun. Rest in Peace my Friend.

My sincere condolences upon hearing of Jane’s passing. I worked alongside Jane over 20 years ago. She provided me with training and mentorship with an individual we provided support to. During this time, it was evident that she was a very kind and compassionate woman! What was even more evident was the love that she had for her husband Ron and two sons. She spoke of Ron often and with much love, so much you would have thought that they were in the “honeymoon” stage, not having been married for several years. She was always excited to speak of her boys, Jamie and Paul as well. I also remember that she smiled with her eyes. She will be greatly missed.
