WANDA JEANNE HOOEY (NEE CHALLICE, SCOTT)
JUNE 18, 1949, TO APRIL 14, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Wanda passed away on April 14th, 2023, at home surrounded by her family. After a short but courageous battle with ALS. Wanda is survived by Wayne Hooey, her daughter Angela Brown (Steve) and her son Chris Scott (Kim). As well as her four grandchildren who were the light of her life, Brianna, Alaina, Benjamin, and Graham. Sister Norma Sanders (Robert). Predeceased by her sister Marguerite, Brother Garnet (Sherlene) and parents Harvey and Dorthey Challice (nee Armstrong)
She was born in Millbrook, moved to Haliburton, in 1972, and then to Barrie, in 1985. In 1986 she started to work at Powell Jones and spent the next 36 years as a devoted employee. She loved her coworkers and the clients that she worked with, many of whom she considered close friends. Wanda was also very involved with the Bradford legion for many years. She was a diligent worker but also knew how to relax and have fun, usually at her trailer barefoot and loving life. She also loved to keep busy, and she did a lot of crafts, in recent years this has been quilting. She also loved spending time with all her grandchildren, attending baseball, hockey games and school events. She was the center of our world, and we will miss her very much.
A Celebration of life will be held on Sunday May 7th, 2023, from 1pm – 4pm. We would like to invite you to stop by and share your stories and memories.
