Mary Jan Rudd (Nee Thomas), age 75 of Carlisle, Ontario passed away on April 9 2023, at Joseph Brant Hospital after battling pulmonary fibrosis and heart disease. She was surrounded by loved ones.

Jan is survived by her husband Brian, siblings John David and Susan, children Trevor and Jennifer (Chris), her grandchildren Taylor, Reilly and Cameron along with many friends and family who will miss her dearly.

Jan was a long time resident of the Beach where she met her husband, raised her family and built a community. She was the neighbourhood matriarch and keeper of the keys. Jan was a devoted wife, proud mother to many, grandmother, and friend to all. She cherished long chats with neighbours on the porch, searching for shark's teeth in Myrtle Beach, baking endless trays of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, farmers market lunches, spending Christmas Eve's with those near and dear, winning games of scrabble and yahtzee over afternoon tea, and of course, all things red.

She will be remembered for her witty humour, healthy dose of competition, crafty nature, green thumb, and the love she shared so easily with so many.

A celebration of Jan's life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in her name to a cause close to your heart.
