Obituary of Vaughan S. Joudrey

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Vaughan Joudrey on Sunday, April 6, 2014 at the Hamilton General Hospital in his 80th year. Vaughan will be sorely missed by his beloved wife Erma Elizabeth (nee McCoy) of 60 years. Cherished father to Cathy Fleming (Donald), Nancy Pereira (Joe), Sandra Whitman (Walter), Glenda Dailey (John), Carolyn Hutchings (Wesley), Doug Joudrey (Lynda), and Danny Joudrey (Joanne). Vaughan was a loving and respected brother to Verna Lutz, Shirley Jones, Grace Lutz, Helen Kelley, Audrey Joudrey, and Clayton Joudrey. Predeceased by siblings Kenneth, Starr, and Charlotte Joudrey, along with Olive Dorey. Vaughan was a proud grandfather to 13 grandchildren, 5 great- grandchildren, and one great-great grandson. Following his retirement from Stelco and his Kenmore Excavating and Trucking business, Vaughan pursued his lifelong passion as an avid hunter and fisherman who found great pleasure in the outdoors. The family would like to thank the Nursing Staff from ICU South and 8 South at the Hamilton General Hospital for their care of Vaughan during his stay. Friends will be received at the Donald V.

In our hearts a memory will always be kept, of one we loved, and will never forget.”
