It is with deep sadness that the family of the late Frances Jane Hewitt announces her passing at her family home in Lloydminster, Alberta on Thursday, March 11, 2021 at the age of 82 years, with her family by her side.
She was the strongest and most steadfast woman that we knew and her fighting spirit and determination continued until the very end. While she lived in Alberta in her later years to be closer to her children, her heart always remained in Newfoundland and Labrador. No conversation with her would be complete without hearing about her plans for her next trip home to Newfoundland. As she would remind us all by singing her favorite song, « down by the water is where I want to be ».
She is predeceased by her husband – William « Bill » Hewitt; parents – Martin & Irene Downey; siblings – Bess, Catherine, Hellen, Dan, Clarence and Gerald.
Frances leaves to mourn and cherish a lifetime of wonderful memories: her children – Barbara, Iris (Dave), Jerry, Maxine (Rex), Gary, Bill (Shellie), Lisa (Mason) and John (Paula); her grandchildren – Justin (Courtney), Crystal (Devin), Adam (Janice), Robyn (Wade), Amy (Paul), Nicole (Jenna), Taylor, Chris (Kim), Jennifer, Cody, Keenan, Kayla, Regina, Cokie, Aljay and Jjay; 15 great-grandchildren; her siblings – Loretta (Hubert), Marie, Jim, Ron (Betty) and Aidan (Susan); siblings-in-law – Catherina and Garry as well as a large circle of family and friends.
Father Camillus Ekedobe will conduct a Graveside Service at St. Pius X Roman Catholic Cemetery, Baie Verte, NL at a later date.
As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Frances’ memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to Foster Funeral Home, 22 Main Street, Baie Verte, NL.
