Olwen Jones

JONES, Olwen Tegrudd Mrs. Olwen Jones has died, aged 94, on August 13, 2010 at the Chelsea residence of her younger son, Dr. Gwynne Jones of the Ottawa Hospital, and his wife Eileen (nee Kerwin). Mrs. Jones grew up in the small Welsh-speaking village of Trawsfynydd, North Wales. Olwen, known universally as Nain, the Welsh word for grandmother, had three children with her husband Bryn. Her husband died many years previously and their only daughter, Myra, died 12 years ago. She is survived by her eldest son, David and his two children Matthew and Gareth, and by Gwynne and his five children, Francis Bryn, Daniel, David, Liam and Laura. She came to visit Gwynne and Eileen two years ago, in 2008, but owing to ill-health was never able to return to her home in England. She was lovingly cared for by the immediate family together with superb support from friends and family members, especially Eileen's four Kerwin sisters. A memorial service to give thanks for her life will be held at St Matthias Anglican Church, 555, Parkdale Avenue, Ottawa, on October 2nd. At 11 AM. Olwen Jones will be greatly missed by all her friends on both sides of the Atlantic.
