COYNE, Gaye Gwendolyn – Gaye passed away with grace surrounded by her loved ones on December 9th 2021, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton. Her sister Pat, a St. Joe’s nursing graduate, held her hand. Preceded by her parents Loyal and Evelyn, and her sister Beverly. Her sisters Pat and Doreen were with her. Also survived by her sister June. A very special Aunt to her nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and now great-great-nieces and nephews. She was proud of her career at John Deere, to the delight of many nephews and nieces who loved diggers and tractors. Formerly of Caistorville, Dundas has been her home for 20 years. She loved to play cards, and cheer on her sports teams. Favourite trips were Hawaii and Ireland where she twice went to visit the Coyne roots. A very special thanks to the nurses and doctors of St. Joes who went above and beyond to deliver compassionate care in these trying times. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring to honour her 90th birthday. Donations to St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation would be appreciated.
Rest In Peace, you are going to be missed by family and friends.
Our condolences to the Coyne family. Sincerely, John and Deborah Young

To the family of Gaye,
Sincere condolences on your families loss.
Gaye and Pat sat next to my husband and I in section 7 of Ivor Wynne Stadium for many years. They shared a love of the CFL but were loyal to opposing teams. I was so surprised to be sitting next to an Argos fan…Though I think she would secretly applaud when the Tiger Cats were doing well. We admired the two sisters who were good sports when their team lost.
May your hearts be comforted with all the beautiful memories you’ve made in this life.
