Jennie Laverne Maas
1950-2021
It is with heavy hearts that we announce
the passing of Jennie Laverne Maas (nee
Chapman) of Tidnish Bridge, NS in her 71st year. Jennie showed
strength and bravery throughout her long hard fought out
battle.
Jennie was born and raised in Amherst
NS. In her adult life she lived in BC, Ontario, and then
came back to Nova Scotia settling in Halifax. She and her
husband Rick came back in 2007 to retire in Tidnish.
She was predeceased by her father Wyman
Chapman and mother Pearl (MacKinnon) Chapman, brother Warren Chapman
and by her youngest son Terry Dixon.
Jennie is survived by her husband
Richard Maas, Tidnish Bridge, NS; son Troy Dixon (Vicky), Halifax, NS;
foster daughter Corrinna Norman, Calgary, AB; grandchildren Kristian,
Tyler, Logan, William, Toni, and Brandon; great grandchildren Adryann,
Aashtyn, Tucker, Jordan, Noah, Jessie and a new baby girl due to
arrive this July; sisters Cheryl Canning (Jack), Gail Laliberte, both
of Amherst; brother Bryon Chapman (Kim), Memramcook, NB; step-sister
Marie MacKinnon (France), Cantley, PQ; step-father Don MacKinnon
(Marilyn), Amherst; as well as many nieces, nephews, special daughters
and granddaughters-in-law.
Jennie had a kind and generous spirit.
She worked various jobs over the years and was a caregiver to many
many children. She was there to help with raising her grand-kids who
have so many good memories with her. Jennie was cheeky and could cut
you with one of her looks. She was stubborn and headstrong which kept
her with us much longer than we thought. Those traits live
on in her son and grandchildren.
Jennie had many special friends; in
Halifax she was family to Nancy and Nichole who called her Aunt
Jennie, as well as Dene and Elva. She was a member of Tops for many
years. She was famous for her Canada day parties that always brought
everyone together.
Jennie enjoyed playing cards with the
girls, many tea parties with her lady friends and the odd glass of
Jack’s strawberry wine.
Jennie was loved by so many and will be
missed beyond measure.
Her family would like to thank the
doctors and nurses on 4F in the Dr. Georges L Dumont Hospital who took
such good care of her over the last year and a half; as well as the
nurses and doctors in the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre over
the last few days of her life.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the
Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church

held on Saturday, March 27, 2021 at 2 pm from Jones Family Funeral
