Jessie Steeves
1925-2021
Jessie Louise Steeves passed away
peacefully at the Jordan Lifecare Centre and went to her eternal home
on Monday, February 22, 2021 just days before her
96th birthday. Born in Steeves Mountain, she
was a daughter of the late Hazen and Bertha Crossman.
She was a member of Hillside Baptist
Church where she was the church clerk for many years and later a
member of Elgin Baptist Church. She was a life member of the
Women’s Missionary Society and the Women’s
Institute. She loved to quilt, knit, and sew, and many times was
called upon for a haircut and home perm. Her daughters especially
loved getting a perm the day before school pictures.
She was a hard worker. She could always
be found working side by side with her husband Laurence, from haying,
sugar making, yarding logs, picking blueberries, cooking in the lumber
camps, etc. Wherever he was, he wanted her to be. In later years, she
enjoyed bus trips with her many friends.
She is survived by her daughters,
Pauline (Gerald) Carlin, and Ruth (Everette) Barchard; her beloved
grandchildren, Greg (Heather) Carlin, Paula (Barry) Barchard, Pamela
Carlin, Sonya Barchard, Sandra (Cory) Somers, and Bentley Barchard;
her precious great-grandchildren, Cody, Maggy, Emma, Jack, Isaac,
Will, Jenny, Benjamin, Luke, Aiden, and Jace; sisters, Frances Todd,
and Catherine Steeves; good friend, Jackie; and many nieces and
nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband,
Laurence (1994); sister, Evelyn Eagles; brothers, Lawrence, Percy, and
Horace.
When mum was 85, she decided she
didn’t want to live alone so she drove her Blazer to
Petitcodiac to live at Grant and Sherry Seeley’s special
care home. She enjoyed her time there. The family wishes to thank all
the nurses and workers at the Jordan Lifecare Center for the love and
wonderful care given to Jessie. We will always remember your
kindness.
