November 15, 1936 – March 9, 2025

With great sadness, we announce the passing of Nova Turnbull, who passed away peacefully at home in Barrie, ON, on March 9, 2025, in her 89th year.

Nova was a devoted mother to Leagh, the late Robert, David (Melissa), the late Stephen, and Christina (Brett). She was a cherished grandmother to Andrew, Michael, Robert (Stephanie), Laura (Tyler), Silas, Brieanne, and Kaylin, and a proud great-grandmother to Lainey and Mavis.

A small lady with a big personality, Nova was known for her kindness, strength, and unwavering love for her family. Growing up in a military family, she traveled across Canada, experiencing life in many different communities. She was deeply loved by those who knew her and found joy in the many clubs and activities she participated in throughout her life.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private family interment will be held. In memory of Nova, donations may be made to the SickKids Foundation https://www.sickkidsfoundation.com/

She will be dearly missed but forever in our hearts.
