STROTE: Argelyn “Argie” (nee Jones)

After a life well lived, Argelyn “Argie” (nee Jones) Strote went into her loving Saviour’s arms on Sunday September 29, 2024 at the age of 90. She is lovingly survived by her children Jane and Rob(Tammy), her grandchildren, her great grandchildren and many cherished friends.
Born December 24,1933 to Mark and Edna Jones who taught Argie the value of education and the importance of faith. With these values, Argie completed her education at Stratford Teacher College and she taught for many years in the Toronto, Hamilton and Scarborough area. Argie eventually came to settle in Goderich after her retirement in 1988 where she ran a successful Bed and Breakfast and developed beautiful award winning gardens. She loved to thrift and find antiques that filled her home. In the winter months, she travelled to her second home in Venice, Florida where she built many lasting friendships and memories over her 30 years there. Her faith was continually strengthened by being an active member of the First Baptist Church in both Venice and Goderich.
She is predeceased by her parents, Mark and Edna, brother Aaron, sister Louise, and son-in-law Mac.
A special thank you to the staff of Huronview Retirement Home, The Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, and those who visited and cared for her in her last days.
A service of remembrance will be held at 11:00 am Thursday October 24, 2024 at First Baptist Church, Goderich.
