Jane E. KENNEDY

KENNEDY, Jane E. - 63, passed away peacefully, on August 24th, 2008 at Sunnybrook Palliative Care Centre. Born in Cornwall, she was the daughter of the late Edwin and the late Clara (McGruer) Kennedy. She will be sadly missed by her loving family; her sister Gaile (Stephen) Melville, her niece Jennifer (Amar), her nephew Michael (Tamara) and her devoted great nephews, Layth and Tayab. Jane taught Classics and English at North Toronto Collegiate for more than 30 years. She was the consummate professional, admired and respected by her colleagues. As teacher and mentor, both in and out of the classroom, she encouraged and challenged with equal skill, valuing excellence and effort in equal measure. And she was quite simply, loved and revered by her students. Though never a boastful woman, Jane might well claim the words of the Latin poet, Horace: exegi monumentum aere perennius. Donations in Jane's memory may be made to the Jane Kennedy Memorial Fund c/o North Collegiate Institute - 70 Roehampton Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4P 1R2 (cheques should be made payable to North Toronto Collegiate Institute). 11218922
