In Loving Memory of Jocelyn Ann Gates
May 19, 1973 – June 15, 2025
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jocelyn Ann Gates.
Jocelyn will be forever remembered for her vibrant smile and contagious laugh. She brought warmth, joy, and light to every room, and her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
She is lovingly survived by her daughter Kassidy Gates and son Dawson Gates. Jocelyn also leaves behind her parents, Hugh and Ingrid Middleditch, her sister Cindy (Reid) Henriksen, her nephews Gavin and Conor Henriksen and numerous extended family and dear friends.
Jocelyn’s love for her family, her infectious energy, and the kindness she extended to others will never be forgotten.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later date.
Hugh, Ingrid and Cindy:

She always and forever holds a piece of my heart , along with all who knew her .
My heartfelt condolences go out to the whole family for your loss. Growing up with Joce was an absolute pleasure and I enjoyed her company immensely. Her big smile could light up any room and she always made you feel loved and welcome. She had a huge heart and I feel so grateful that even though I moved to Ontario shortly after high school, we still managed to reconnect and keep in touch over the years. My heart is so sad that the world has lost her . My love and thoughts are with all of the family. ??
Hugh, Ingrid, Cindy and family. It was an honour to have known Joce as a young child, a teenager and an adult. Her big, warm smile and happy demeanour was a constant in her life. She always made you feel welcomed and appreciated.
We will keep her always in our hearts.
