Alice “Jessie” Tomlinson

(Jessie) Alice Tomlinson, age 95, passed away peacefully on December 2, 2025, at Willow Estates Long Term Care Home in Aurora, Ontario.

Born on March 23, 1930, in Cochrane, Ontario, Alice was the beloved daughter of Joseph and Mary O’Connor. She lived a long and meaningful life rooted in faith, family, and generosity.

As a devoted member of St. Timothy’s Catholic Church, Alice was known for her charitable spirit, her love of family, and her quiet dedication to helping others. She found great joy in knitting, often creating handmade items for her church and for those in need. Alice was also a generous supporter of numerous charitable organizations, including Covenant House, the Canadian Cancer Society, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Alice was predeceased by her beloved husband, the late Kenneth Tomlinson; her siblings Bill O’Connor (Janine), Greg O’Connor (Vivian), Heather Gadoury (Serge); and by her late son Blaine Tomlinson (Ainsley).

She will be lovingly remembered by her surviving children: Joanne McConnell (Mark), Van Tomlinson (Wendy), and Craig Tomlinson (Marjorie, late Ellen Tomlinson).

Alice was a cherished grandmother to Lisa Beaver (Gary), Melody Tomlinson (Colin), Stephanie Zettler (Brendon), Jacob Tomlinson (Kayla), Eric Tomlinson (Tabitha), Richard Tomlinson (Aimee), Jessica Blain (Kevin), and Scott Tomlinson, and a proud great-grandmother to Kayleigh McConnell, Rylan McConnell, Kinsley Beaver, Nicholas Zettler, Emilia Zettler, Sydney Tomlinson, Taylor Tomlinson, Brandon Jorgensen, Caleb, and Audrey.

Alice’s kindness, faith, and generosity touched all who knew her. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and the countless lives she touched through her compassion and love.

In accordance with Alice’s wishes, cremation has taken place.
