Jerry’s Obituary
Feakes – Jerry Wayne, 1947 – 2020. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jerry Feakes at home in Shelburne on May 7th at the age of 73 with his wife, Sheila by his side.
Jerry was born on January 9th, 1947, in Lockeport to Leonard Feakes of Plum Coulee, Manitoba, and Susanna (June) Williams of West Green Harbour. He spent most of his working life split between offshore fishing and stationary engineering at Roseway Hospital, Shelburne and Clearwater Seafoods, Lockeport.
Jerry will always be remembered as a fun loving, social man. He lit up during visits from any of his family members or friends, especially the children. He enjoyed fishing, hunting and playing crib. The world lost a caring, loving guitar-playing jokester, and we lost a beautiful soul, devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend.
Jerry is survived by his wife of almost 53 years, Sheila (Wolfe); his daughters Angela (Scott Roy) of Greenfield, Queens County and Shelley (Greg Gormley) of Carleton, Yarmouth County; grandchildren Lissa (Andrew), TJ (Mallory), Jordan (Emily) and Kristin (Brendan); great grandchildren Cole, Alivia, Maci and Josie; sisters Gail (Norman) Hemeon and Carol (Karl) Joudrey and brother Bil (Val) Atwood; brothers-in-law Ken (Flo), Meredith (Carolyn); nieces Tina, Karla, Robyn, Emily and Tanya; nephews Lee and Terry and many other extended family members. Predeceased by father Leonard Feakes, mother Susanna (June) Feakes (Williams) and nephew Calvin Wolfe.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Huskilson’s Funeral Home, Shelburne. A Celebration of life to take place at a later date. No matter what, the sun, sky and water are still here, as is our love for Jerry. Donations in his name may be made to the VON or organization of your choice. A special thank you to the VON for your long-term care and kindness. On-line condolences can be left for the family at www.huskilson.net
