EDWARDS, Jodi Marie

EDWARDS, Jodi Marie   March 9, 1970 - November 29, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear wife, sister, aunt and friend, Jodi Edwards on November 29, 2023. Her brief but intense battle with cancer took away many things but reminded us that it cannot destroy integrity, reason or hope. Jodi was the loving wife of Dave Curk and the beloved sister of Michelle Edwards-Boldt and Terence Boldt. She was the doting and wonderful aunt to Owen Boldt and Rylie Boldt, and to Joshua Curk (Namrta Yashpal), Lauren Hoffman (Ryan), Samantha Curk (Nicholas Spitters), and great aunt to Spencer, August and Elliott. She was a cherished friend and sister-in-law to John and Mary Curk. And she was the most important human in the life of her fur baby, Ziggy. Jodi is predeceased by her beloved parents, David Edwards (2021) and Holly Edwards (2023), by her grandparents Victor and Viola Edwards, Mathew and Estelle Richter, and her In-laws Murray and Canadina Curk.

Jodi was a graduate of McMaster University (BCom) and Niagara University (MBA). She was a loyal and dedicated employee of Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance, (now Intact Insurance), for the past 27 years where she made many cherished friendships. She loved her gardens, walking Ziggy and doing aquafit with her Milton friends, where there was often more talking than swimming. She took great joy in being an integral part of the lives of her nieces and nephews, applauding their successes and following their life paths with pride. She will be missed by many, including the members of the Richter families, and her dear friend Kim Doran, who was by her side with constant friendship and support throughout her entire illness.

The family would like to thank the dedicated staff of the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital, especially the ICU team, for their recent care. They are very thankful to everyone who donated blood and plasma throughout Jodi's treatment and to the dedicated team at Juravinski Hospital.

In honouring with Jodi’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Her family will receive the comfort of friends at PLEASANTVIEW FUNERAL HOME (2000 Merrittville Hwy at the corner of Hwy 20, Fonthill: 905-892-1699) on Sunday, December 10th from 2-4 and 6-8 PM.  A private interment will take place in the Spring.
