Ione Biggs (nee Spencer)
Born: October 6, 1930
Died: June 17, 2011

Loving wife of the late Terence Biggs and adored mother of Bonita, Nick, Tim, & Chris. Ione passed away peacefully in Marathon, Ontario on Friday, June 17 while visiting family.

Cherished sister of Ernest of Manchester, UK, and Sylda (predeceased).
Ione will be forever missed by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and her incredible network of friends around the world.

Ione was born in the Falkland Islands and in 1957, came to Sarnia with Terry and her young family where she began to create a loving home and embark on a nursing career of more than 30 years. She will always be remember for her unwavering devotion to her family, her dedication to the health, happiness, and well-being of her friends, her laugh, her chocolate chip cookies and sausage rolls, but not, perhaps, for her skills at darts.
Ione relocated to Kelowna in 2003 to be near to her daughter and Dan Ross, her grandson.

A funeral service was held on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 at Smith Funeral Home in Sarnia, Ontario. Cremation followed. Anyone wishing to express their respects for Ione can do so with a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

• I knew Ione when she came into Glenmore Pharmasave often and we would always have a nice visit and she would talk about her family with such happiness, she was always smiling. Then she started bringing me in homemade dishcloths, she was so kind, I was sad to see of her passing, glad it was peaceful she was a good soul.
