• Notes

  RAYMOND-READ (Motyer), Jocelyn Kay - Born 30 March 1930 in Paget, Bermuda, departed this life August 13, 2007, in Halifax. Jocelyn was a journalist, artist, author, educator and devoted parent, who leaves behind a multitude of friends. Among them are her grieving husband, Robert Read; children, Michele (Russell MacKinnon) and Jacques (Tara Joules); sister, Jacqueline Blagrave, Rothesay, N.B.; brother, Arthur, Sackville, N.B.; numerous nieces and nephews; granddaughters, Hazel and Bee. She was predeceased by her first husband, Richard Lattin Raymond. Jocelyn came to Canada to attend university in 1946, graduating from McMaster University. She returned to Bermuda and worked as a print and broadcast journalist with ZBM and the MidOcean News, but moved to Toronto in 1952 for postgraduate work in social work and child study. She taught at the University of Toronto's Institute of Child Study, and wrote a weekly column for the Globe and Mail on "Living with Children" from 1954 to 1964. Jocelyn and Richard moved to Nova Scotia in 1964, where she was instrumental in bringing human-rights and childcare legislation to the province. She taught in the education department at Mount Saint Vincent University, as well as starting the university's Early Childhood Education program. Jocelyn served on numerous boards of directors in Halifax over the years, but she will be most remembered for her mischievous wit, infectious laughter and a deep concern for others which did not desert her even in her final days. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Atlantic Funeral Home. Funeral service will be held today at 2 p.m. in Saint Augustine's Church, 290 Purcells Cove Rd., Halifax, Father John O. Scott presiding. No flowers by request, but donations in Jocelyn's memory may be made to the Single Parent Centre in Spryfield or Bermuda Aquarium.
