Mary Columbia "Nina" Forsey

Nina Mary Forsey (nee McCarthy) passed away peacefully at home on Monday, May 12, 2025 at the age of 96 years.  She has been reunited with her husband, Loury George Forsey, who predeceased her in 2018 after 70 years of marriage.  Nina is survived by her 8 daughters; Lynn Tait (Larry), Beverly Simmons (late Brian), Laurie Hanninen (Brian), Sharon Forsey, Nina Knox (Brad), Cindy Tryon (late Leon), Bonnie Onjukka (Mark) and Susan Holt (Bill) and by her 2 sons; David Forsey (Lucy) and Allen Forsey (Margie).  Proud and loved grandmother of many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.  Nina is also fondly remembered by her sister, Patricia "Pat" Larochelle. 

Nina worked for many years in the office at Timberjack before deciding to return to school at the age of 46 to become a nurse.  She spent many years caring for the residents at Woodingford Lodge, and then as a private nurse when she and Loury moved to the Coboconk area.  After retirement, they enjoyed many winters as snowbirds in Florida, but family and faith was always at the centre of Nina's life.  

In keeping with her wishes, private interment will take place at North Embro Cemetery.  A public memorial service will be planned at a later date.  For those who wish, donations in Nina's memory are suggested to the Woodstock Hospital Foundation.
