Cooney, Edythe
In Sadness and with joyful hearts we announce that Edythe has left us to join her Lord and Saviour in Heaven July 27, 2020. She passed peacefully at home holding her daughters hand. Despite her condition she remained in good spirits till the end and was joyful to be surrounded by her family during her final days on earth.
Predeceased by her husband Everett and son Mark. Beloved mother of Philip, Karen (Andre), and Sandra (Paul). Loving grandmother of Joel (Tasha), Renee, James, Jordan, Bryan (Angela) Kimberly and Alexander. Proud great grand mother of Jaxon, Derek, Beau, Colton, Casey, Zachariah and one more on the way.
Edythe was a devout Christian and her faith in the Lord was nearly unprecedented. She was particularly active in serving her Church and her community. Her missionary work in Mexico help save children from a life of abuse on the streets. Her faith allowed her to do the next right thing without fear of retribution. She was a good example to all of us.
Edythe also had a passion for craftwork and we treasure her many hand made gifts, every one made with love and careful consideration of the receiver.
We would like to give a special thanks to the many friends and family who helped facilitate and make possible for Edythe to be allowed to spend her final days at home surrounded by her loved ones. In keeping with Covid-19 restrictions a private family funeral service will take place. Interment St. Johns Dixie Cemetery. Online condolences jwhartfuneralhome.com
I pray for God’s comforting arms to be wrapped around all of you. Remember you will see your mom again at the biggest family reunion in history! ❤️❤️❤️
We will miss Edythe so much … her smile, joyful laughter but most of all her example as a faithful warrior in prayer and walking out the peace of knowing her God would answer in His sovereign grace. Her memory will always be an inspiration to us. Our love and prayers continue with you all for His peace and presence in the coming days.
Our family sendS our condolences to all, we ask the lord to watch over everyone at this time of need And sadness and to continue to rejoice
Amen

I would like to express my condolences to the family of Edythe. She was a lovely woman – we used to chit chat at Rexdale Alliance Church and I lost touch with her when I started a job that didn’t make church going easy. We kept up a bit on FB. I did think of her but life just kept getting in the way. She’s in a super amazing place right now – with her Saviour and Lord, her husband and other family members and friends who have gone on to Glory.
Karen & Family. So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a wonderful woman with tremendous faith in our Lord & Saviour. I pray that the peace of God will be with you during this difficult time. I love these pictures shown here, and I recognize the ones from Logos. Love, Ellen.
She will be greatly missed by many. Edythe was a beautiful lady inside out; she was loving, helpful, and she always gave a listening ear and hug when needed. I would always called her grandma Cooney, even though she wasn’t my actual grandmother but she took me in as family non the less. Love: Catherine
Dear Edythe. I am so glad that we are friends and got to know such a wonderful person, as yourself. Glen and I will never forget you, and all the great times we had at our monthly Christian/potluck, gatherings. We will always cherish the most beautiful handmade Christmas Card, that you especially made for us with love in your heart.. It’s so wonderful that you have kept your faith in God above. Well done, thy good and faithful servant. I’m sure those words are heavenly music to your ears. Rest with the Lord now. Always in our hearts.♥ From Reta and Glen Hawes. Sister and Brother In Law, of Joan Elliott and Mary Terlezee. Aunt and Uncle of Marlene 0’Oneil, Cathy Borges, and all the families.♥♥ PEACE.

She will surely be missed.
There is much comfort in knowing that she is with Jesus now.
Sending sympathy, thoughts, love and prayers to everyone who is sharing in the loss of Edythe. I will hold on to the memories and times we shared from the time we were kids. I would have loved to be with you but covid dictates our decisions these days.

Edyth’s love for Jesus was strong and her testimony clear. Her place at the table is set and she has now been called to His banquet.

To our dear friend… We’ll see you soon!
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Edythe was my earliest friend since grade 3 in elementary school at Lakeview Park, Edythe Leary Whitbread was always a dear dear friend. and of like precious Christian faith it was even more special. Edythe Cooney was a blessing to have as a friend for over 70 years. God bless you all.

We, from the Third Wave Senior’s Group, of the Mississauga City Baptist Church, will like to extend our condolences to the Family & loved ones of our dearest sister Edythe Cooney, who passed away on the 27th July. She was dearly missed, when she left our group to go to to live in the Bradford Area and she visited with us occasionally for some of our senior outings. She was truly a blessing to our church & our group and we know that God has prepared a special task in his Kingdom, as her ministry is not finished yet. We thank all of you for the support & love that you gave to her.
Blessings & Love
Brother Harold

Sincerely

I knew Edythe from the Third Wave Seniors’ Group at Mississauga City Baptist Church. She was a wonderful, kind, cheerful lady and was missed by all of us when she left the area. Condolences to Edythe’s family but we know that she is now safe in the arms of Jesus.
Keeping your family in my Thoughts & Prayers during this most difficult time. Edythe will not be forgotten, I miss her deeply. Praying God will give you Peace & Comfort. God Bless ! 🙏❤
Saddened to hear of the passing of Edythe! I had some great years working alongside her in Crusaders at Queensway many years ago, and I appreciated her dedication to the Lord. May the Lord sustain the family who remain, but knowing she has gone on to her reward!
