Jeanette R. Gallant
1938-2019
Jeanette R.
Gallant, 80 years of age, of Amherst, passed away
peacefully, surrounded by her family, on March 7, 2019 at the
Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre.
Jeanette initially worked at Brookfield
Dairy before being a stay at home mother to raise her two children
(Eric & Nancy). She returned to the workforce and
spent many years with the team at Kmart. Over the past
couple of decades, she has spent time volunteering at the Salvation
Army and the Christmas for Kids, which she especially
cherished. Jeanette had a great support system of friends
and family in the Amherst and surrounding areas. She had a
wonderful time with friends going for coffee, weekend breakfasts,
restaurant outings, and many trips to the Superstore for
groceries. If she didn’t fill her day in this
fashion, she was on the phone talking for hours with those she
loved.
Jeanette will be sadly missed by her son
Eric (Shelley) and her grandchildren Meaghan, Adam, and David, her
daughter Nancy Bollivar (Mike) and her step grandsons Michael, Matthew
and their families.
Besides her parents Robert and Marion
Hedley, Jeanette was predeceased by her husband, Joseph, her sisters
Anne, Dolores, Susan, and her brother Peter. She is survived
by her siblings, Joan, Eleanor (Mel), Gloria, Carolyn, Bob (Gayle),
Lynn, and Jack (Annamarie).
