Daena Margaret (Hardy) Flynn

Daena passed away at home, and is survived by her son Jason Flynn, daughter-in-law Kyla, much loved grandchildren Ashton, Brady and Zachary, former husband Wade Flynn, sister Cathy Fletcher (John), niece Amanda Fletcher (Adam Thompson), grand-niece Isabelle Thompson, nephews Stewart Fletcher, Alexander Hardy and Eric Hardy.

Predeceased by her parents Audrey Hardy, John (Jack) Hardy, stepmom Margo Hardy, and brother Douglas Hardy. She will be sorely missed by her wide circle of friends, especially her besties, Marilyn Young, Rona Bourgon, and Kay Brown.

Daena was born in Toronto, and soon after had the first of the many moves typical in a military family. In her childhood she lived in Nova Scotia, Ottawa, and Zweibrucken, Germany, returning for her final high school years in Ottawa. In her adult life she lived in both St. John’s and Gander, Newfoundland, Cornwall, Vancouver (Surrey) and settled back in Cornwall in retirement.

In her working years Daena held several positions, but her favourite was her years as a Reservation Agent for Canandian Holidays. Daena never met a good social event she didn’t like – from Jiggs dinners with east coast friends, to birthday parties, Christmas or New Years parties or Canada Day parties, to watch parties for Golden Bachelorette episodes. Fancy hats, costumes, crazy glasses and feather boas were frequent accessories.

A celebration of her life will be held on Wednesday November 18th, 2026, from 1:00p.m. to 4:00p.m., at Lahaie and Sullivan – East Branch (614 First Street, East Cornwall). Please bring your memories and favourite funny Daena stories to share. Feather boas or funny hats would not be out of place.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Daena to the Canadian Mental Health Association or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
