I was shocked to see this…I am so, so sorry for your loss, Rick and family. Jane was a wonderful friend while we lived in Exeter both to us and our family. She will be missed very much for all her gifts…music, books, Terry Fox Run and her unconditional love for her family and friends. We are thinking of you at this time….

Condolence from Carolyn Johns on March 4th, 2024 5:49 PM

Many sympathies to the Hundey family.
I first met Jane at the Exeter library, where my kids looked forward to her story time.
Such a welcome soul to the young folk.
Then many years later I discovered she was a vary talented ukulele player. She even let me borrow her song book to try and learn myself….but I wasn’t a quick study. But maybe again someday soon I’ll pick up that ukulele again.
A woman of many talents. She will be missed.

Condolence from Karen L Brown on March 4th, 2024 6:12 PM

My deepest condolences to Rick and the entire Hundey family. I have so many memories of time spent together but mostly I remember the deep love and pride she had for Rick, their children and their spouses. Grandchildren were such a bonus in her life and she positively lit up talking about them. The Hundey family made so many beautiful memories together that I know will provide some comfort. Jane will be so terribly missed.

Love and hugs to each of you,

Karen

Condolence from Ann Fama on March 4th, 2024 8:49 PM

To Jane’s family: I am so sorry to hear of Jane’s passing. Please accept my condolences. Your mom was my cousin as her grandma Balkwill was my aunt Lena. Every summer we’d have a few days together on the farm. I loved spending time with your mom as she was always beaming and giggling as we ventured into the woods. We built make shift forts with branches, brush and leaves. All the while we’d sing as loud as possible to scare off any animals or hunters that might come by. I loved Jane for her spirit of adventure and life! She left a deep love for her in my heart albeit in adulthood we rarely saw each other. I am sure many others that knew her feel the same. My prayers are with you.

Condolence from Terry Johnston on March 4th, 2024 8:59 PM

To the fairy garden goddess of Exeter, cousin Jane

The visits had with you and Rick have always been full of great conversations, good food, and lots of laughs.
You never had a bad word to say about anyone and that’s such an admirable quality to possess.
Thank you for showing me the ever growing and changing art of your fairy gardens – enjoyed by all your grandchildren and – well – me, too.

To Rick and family … I send my deepest condolences. May your special memories fill your hearts with warmth during this time of sorrow. I will miss Jane and I’m sure she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Condolence from Catherine Hickey and Tom Davie on March 4th, 2024 9:44 PM

I had the pleasure of knowing Jane through her incredible daughter, Beth. From the moment I met her she was one of the most genuinely sweet people I’ve ever met – the kind of mom who instantly felt like a second mom. She was thoughtful and kind, and loved her family so deeply. I’m so very sorry to the entire Hundey family for this immense loss. You are all in our thoughts as you navigate through these very difficult days.

Condolence from Kris Pypka on March 4th, 2024 9:48 PM

Condolence from Sandra Sanford on March 4th, 2024 10:49 PM

Jane was a lovely and gracious lady. She was wonderful mother and wife and grandmother. She loved Rick and she didn’t shy away from showing how she felt about him and the feeling was mutual. She also had a tongue in cheek sense of humour and I will miss sharing dinners with her at Seneca and Beth’s home.
Jane you are in Jesus’s arms now and no pain anymore.
My sincere condolences and love to Rick, Beth, Eric and Tim and their families.
Be in Peace!

Please accept my very deepest sympathy. I just got to really know Jane through the book club at the Exeter Library. When I joined she was a very integral part of this group and we had many great discussions about the pros and cons of a book, many, many laughs and some very delicious lunches as well. She has been missed from the group over the last while and we were always pleased when Sandy shared Jane’s vote and thoughts on a book. You and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I’ve known Jane all of my life. My parents and Bertha and Harold were best friends and Jim and I were best friends and Jane was a sister to me. We spent years together camping, playing and having fun. I don’t think I ever had an argument with Jane. She never changed from the funny, fun, adventurous girl with a big warm heart.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Jane.
Our daughter Kera has been quite involved studying our family tree recently and has asked so many questions about Jane. She is actually the one to discover this sad news.
Although it has been too many years since I have seen Jane, I will never forget our family reunions and how kind cousin Jane was to us.

Condolence from Beth Campeau on March 5th, 2024 8:33 PM

Rick, Eric and Julie, Tim and Yvonne and Beth and Seneca,

I am so happy Jane met the love of her life, in the U of Windsor library if I recall correctly! Rick, what a wonderful journey of marriage the two of you created and enjoyed . I know that Jane loved her children and grandchildren and gave her love freely to each of them. I marvelled how no matter where Jane and her family lived she followed her passions in so many circles, was involved in her community and grew strong friendships. I am so lucky to have met Jane all those years ago in university and enjoyed the gift of a wonderful friendship with such a remarkable woman.
May we all remember her smiles, laughter, giggles and warm heart when we miss her most.
Love and hugs, Beth Campeau

Dear Rick, Eric, Tim, Beth and all the family,
My deepest condolences. I have a special place in my heart for our dear cousin, Jane, with lovely memories of childhood visits with Jane and Jim. Over the years, it was a pleasure to meet Rick and attend their wedding. Most recently I enjoyed get-togethers with Jane and family when Uncle Harold turned 90 and then the next year when Aunt Bertha turned 90. I said hello to Jane on the phone last summer while visiting Harold and Bertha. Harold told me that she phoned every day at 3:00 p.m. Jane will be greatly missed by so many.
Hugs to all of you.

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we are expressing our condolences to you, Rick, and Eric, Tim and their families. Had we not met Jane in London in the mid 1970’s we would have missed out on knowing a very special human being. We are forever grateful that you both stood up for us at our wedding in 1979. However, even though we haven’t seen you in many years due to the distance, you have a special place in our hearts. Jane was a wonderful friend, loyal and true. We often think about all the fun times we had and have missed you both. We loved Jane very much and she will be missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

Our sincere condolences. Cherish the many wonderful memories. Jane was such a wonderful person and will be missed.

Condolence from Debbie Coates on March 6th, 2024 9:44 PM

When I picture Jane, I see her surrounded by a group of young children mesmerized by her reading. Jane brought stories to life and instilled a love of reading in her young listeners! Visits to the town library were always a highlight for my grade one students. Later, I had the privilege of having Jane as an adult volunteer in my classroom. The students loved reading with her! With eyes that sparkled, a warm smile and an enthusiasm for reading, Jane encouraged even the reluctant reader to do their very best. The community of Exeter is a better place having had Jane Hundey in it.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family. ❤️

Condolence from Sarah Morrill on March 6th, 2024 9:47 PM

Aunt Jane had the best laugh, I can hear it when I think of card games and other shenanigans us cousins would get up to for the adults.

She was so much fun and so loving. I’m so sorry and hugs to all of you.

Also Jeff sends hugs too, he didn’t know what to write.

We love you!

Condolence from Jennifer Baker (& David Currie) on March 6th, 2024 11:43 PM

Dear Hundeys,

We are so sorry for your deep loss.

I have so many wonderful memories of Jane, and I have thought often and fondly of how deeply her love of books influenced me in my many summers of reading through the Silver Birch titles with Beth, her fun and generous hosting of our games and movie nights, her forbearing tolerance of that one birthday party of Beth’s where, in the hubris of youth, I thought it would be funny to inhale an entire Jello egg, and it didn’t go very well. She introduced me to microfiche and the town records during my library volunteer hours, and made the library one of my favourite places in Exeter. I will always remember Jane as an intelligent, funny, warm, creative, wise person and I am heartbroken for your loss.

Condolence from Darlene Porter on March 7th, 2024 3:27 AM

Rick and family deepest condolences on the loss of Jane. I knew her through the library as my mother worked there before Jane. May the memories be a blessing.

Condolence from John and Marilyn Smithers on March 7th, 2024 4:16 PM

Rick and family,
Marilyn and I were saddened by the news of Jane’s passing and are deeply sorry for your loss. If it wasn’t already known well, the wonderful collection of photographs you’ve shared tell a story of a rich life made full through service to community, strong family connection and abiding love. One shared memory we have of Jane from earlier times spent together is that she enjoyed a laugh and her laugh was a good fulsome burst – as it should be; non of this chuckling to yourself stuff! We hope the love and deep connectedness within your family will help sustain you all during this very difficult time, and that the gift of happy memories and laughter will find its way back to you all in due course.

Condolence from Tom and Bev Prout on March 7th, 2024 5:17 PM

Dear Rick and Family
Our sincere condolences. May you remember all of the good times and happiness that you shared with Jane as a wife, friend, mother, and grandmother! These treasures you can cherish for ever.

Condolence from Janis bisback on March 7th, 2024 5:45 PM

Dear Hundey Family. Sending condolences. Jane was a wonderful staff at the library.

Condolence from Bethany Wagler (& Andrew Mantle) on March 7th, 2024 7:27 PM

Dear Hundey Family ,

We are so sorry to learn of Jane’s passing.

Jane ( I think if her as Mrs. Hundey/ Beth’s Mum) was one of the very first people I ever met when we moved to Exeter. She was so warm, friendly and helpful as I signed out so many books. She learned my library card by heart and would always recommend new books for me. I remember talking about the Silver Birch books with her, which stretched me to read books I might not have picked for myself.

I also have so many memories of her from times when I spent time with Beth at her house. She was always a calm and safe presence. She asked good questions and was so supportive, and also quick to laugh (especially at silly things Rick would say).

My thoughts are with you all as you remember Jane.

Condolence from Lara (Spring) and Matt Smith on March 7th, 2024 9:15 PM

Hundey Family,
I’m so very sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman. I have so many fond memories of game nights at the Hundey house, I can still hear her laugh.
We’re thinking of you all, Jane will be so missed.
