Luann Joyce Taylor

Luann Joyce Taylor passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on July 29 at Huron Hospice in her 61st year.

 

The loving wife of Ken Hesselwood for 40 years, Luann was the proud mom of Taylor and the late Blake Hesselwood, who predeceased her in 2011.

 

Luann was the sister of Janet (Fred) VanderHaar and sister-in-law of Brenda (Brian) Finlayson.

 

She will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins.

 

Luann was predeceased by her parents, Joyce and Ron Taylor, and in-laws Kay (Keith) Hesselwood, Verna and Elaine Hesselwood.

 

Luann was a force in her community. She was consistent in supporting local youth, young entrepreneurs and their businesses. She was a great listener and had a soft spot for youth who needed encouragement. If she believed in you, then she wouldn’t let you fail. 

 

She saw the good in everyone, but was realistic with her advice and mentorship. 

 

Luann was passionate about her family; she loved her boys and was very proud of them. She loved to work and spread joy with her stunning floral arrangements. Luann made everything beautiful, she brought happiness to countless couples, comforted families in times of sorrow and brightened many a person’s day. May her garden be forever in bloom. She will be greatly missed.
Family and friends are invited to a come and go celebration of life upstairs at the Blyth and District Community Centre on Friday, Aug. 16 from 6-8 p.m.

 

Luann would like everyone to commit a random act of kindness in her memory.

 

In lieu of flowers and as expressions of sympathy, donations to Huron Hospice or the Wingham and District Hospital Oncology Unit would be appreciated.

 

Please send cheques to Box 199, Blyth, N0M 1H0.
