Emmajane Scott-Brown Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Surrounded by her children, on January 5th, 2021, in her 81st glorious year, at St. Joseph’s Villa in Dundas. Loving mother of Megan (John) of Niagara-on-the-Lake, George (Sheri) of Florida, and Eliza-Jane (Rick) of Hamilton. Adoring grandmother to Andrew, Steven, Ducolon, John, Sam, and Claire, and favourite human to her cat, Kaydee. Predeceased by her parents Gladys and Clarence Green of Lyn, ON, and her siblings, twin brother Edward, Dawn, Eileen, and Floyd, and step sons Michael and Duncan. Remembered lovingly by stepchildren Jane, Geoffrey, and Patrick. Sadly missed by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Emmajane was a pioneer in so many ways. By 28 she was a multi-rated pilot in an age when few women took to the skies. She was elected to the Lennox & Addington Board of Education and then shattered the glass ceiling by becoming the first female Board Chair. She went on to become the first female president of the Ontario Public School Trustees Association before being appointed by Premier David Peterson as Chair of The Friends of Canada Foundation. She ran as an MPP in Etobicoke before becoming a licensed real estate agent in Toronto. Her love of adventure took her to the U.S. where she became a small business owner, a life coach, and earned her Masters of Divinity in Spiritual Psychology before returning to Canada to spend her golden years enjoying her grandchildren. It was then she finally had the opportunity to chase her truest passion, singing. She spent many years as a member and Chair of the MELOS choir, and eventually an alto in the Kingston Choral Society. Deepest thanks to her caretakers at SJV during her final months, especially Stacey, Marcia, Valoreen, and Pamela for their incredible care and compassion. Cremation has already taken place and there will be a service and interment at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Lyn, ON, when conditions allow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kingston Choral Society would be greatly appreciated in her memory at kingstonchoralsociety.ca
