Eleanore Patricia Humphrey passed away peacefully at her home in Cobourg on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at the age of 87.
She was the beloved wife of the late Thomas G. Humphrey and a devoted mother to Stephen (deceased 2017, Leslie), Reed (Dawn), David (Michelle), Mark (Michelle), and Kim. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Noelle, Rachel, Brayden, Beau, Carley, Sarah, and Tyler, each of whom brought her immense joy.
Eleanore was the cherished daughter of the late Albert Hornby and Donna (née Holdcroft), and a dear sister to Ron (Dean). She will be lovingly remembered by her nieces Rayne (Rex) and Robyne (Greg), along with many extended family members and friends.
Known to most as “Pat,” she had a zest for life that never faded. Family meant everything to her — especially time spent at the cottage and the much-anticipated Christmas in July, where laughter, stories, and togetherness filled every corner. Pat loved to travel and embraced life fully, spending winters in Florida after Tom’s passing and recently enjoying the trip of a lifetime to Scotland, Wales, England, and Venice, Italy, alongside her brother Ron and sister-in-law Dean, with Rayne and Rex by her side.
Pat touched countless lives with her warmth, kindness, and thoughtful gestures — especially her handwritten cards and cheerful stickers that so many came to treasure. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely.
In keeping with Eleanore’s wishes, there will be no funeral service. A celebration of her life will be held later this spring at St. Margaret’s in the Pines Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
