Patricia Johnson (née Dugdale)
December 28, 1939 – November 30, 2025
On Sunday, November 30th, 2025, Patricia (“Pat”) Johnson passed away peacefully in the palliative care centre at Bruyère Hospital – Centretown (St. Vincent’s Hospital) in Ottawa, Ontario in her 85th year.
Pat was a farm girl from Russell, ON and lived a very full and accomplished life. She was an invaluable contributor to every venture she was involved in, working tirelessly on anything she set her mind too. She had a loving family, travelled the world, and took great joy from life’s simple pleasures, especially spending time with her grandchildren.
She was the youngest of 12 children born to Ida (Denison) and Norman Dugdale – Erva McVey (late James), Dorothy Barnes (late Roland), Shirley Salvail (late Robert) and Anne Bailey (late Lloyd), and the late Kenneth (late Betty), Kathleen Lowe (late John), Lois Rombough (late Meredith), Hilda Atkinson-Cordukes (late Donald), Alvin Bud (husband of Barbara), Erwin (late Dorothea) and Keith (husband of Marjorie).
“Tisha” was predeceased by her adoring husband Harry. She will be deeply missed by her children, Chris Johnson (Victoria Switzer) of Burlington, ON and Carol-Ann Beaudoin (Marc) of Lac Sainte-Marie, QC and her four grandchildren – Christina McKenna (Matthew), Benjamin Beaudoin (Laurence Huot), Chloé Beaudoin (Andrew Howarth) and Spencer Johnson, as well as her great-granddaughter, Lisa McKenna.
Special thanks to Dr. J. Woodland of Beamsville, ON, Dr. Shargall of Hamilton, ON, the staff at the hemodialysis unit at TOH and the angels at the palliative care centre at Bruyère Hospital – Centretown (St. Vincent’s Hospital) for their outstanding care.
Patricia’s immediate family will have a private celebration of life and inurnment in the spring…where she can see the diamonds on the lake forever…
