Jolley, Beatrice Viola 'Vi'
Born in St. Vincent Township on September 24, 1927, a daughter of the late Gladys (nee MacMillan) and William T. Bumstead, Vi passed away peacefully in Owen Sound on Thursday, January 27th, 2022 in her 95th year, surrounded by her loving family.
Vi was predeceased by her beloved husband, Glen Jolley, on August 13, 2007.
She will be fondly remembered by her daughter Joan MacDonald and son-in-law Brian, and son Rob and daughter-in-law Donna. She was the proud Grandma of Brianne (Norm Bell) and Brad (Haley) and MacKenzie (Melissa) and Great Grandma of Kylie, Colton and Cole. She was also a special Grandma of Pam and Julie of Omemee.
Vi was the dear sister of Al Bumstead (Doris), Kelly Bumstead (Sherleen), and the dear sister-in-law of Ray Jolley (Val), Ralph Jolley (Joanne), Sharon Jolley, Ina Bumstead and Kathy Bumstead. She was predeceased by her siblings Don (late Edith), Gord, Russ, Ruby, Mabel, Jean (late Milton and late Alex), Marjorie (late Frank), Shirley, and she was predeceased by her brothers-in-law Lloyd (late Dorothy) and Carl, and sister-in-law Marea. Vi will be missed by her many nieces, nephews and their families.
Vi loved her family and all the friends made in the many towns Glen was transferred to during his career with the TD Bank. She always considered Meaford her home and loved to reconnect and gather to share stories and memories.
A private family visitation and service will be conducted on Monday, January 31, 2022 at the Olivet Baptist Church in Meaford, with interment following at Lakeview Cemetery. All are asked to wear a mask and respect all Covid-19 rules and restrictions.

To Joan and Rob and the Bumstead family: We were so very lucky to have had Glen and Vi as next door neighbours for many years. What wonderful people they were. Now both of them will be together again.
Even after Vi moved to Owen Sound we would often talk about the neighbourhood and the progressing of the remodel of her beloved home. Miss those chats

Vi and Glen were our very dear friends when Glen was manager at the TD in Omemee and where I also worked.
We enjoyed many outings with them and also at home where she loved to entertain and cook, her pies were out of this world!
I’m so thankful for my visit last June.
She will be missed!!
Condolences to Joan, Rob and families.

Joan and Rob,
I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Vi’s passing. We had many great family get togethers at their Meaford home. I remember being a summer camp counsellor near Omemee, and aunt Vi and uncle Glen would drive in to get me on my day off. Aunt Vi always had a raspberry pie waiting at home and uncle Glen and I watched the Jays and had a feast!
Much love, Karen
