Jessie was truly a beautiful person, inside and out, with a
deep faith in God. Her warmth, generosity, kindness, and sense of
humour endeared her to all. She was always a willing and capable
community volunteer in Judique and Creignish.
Family was everything to Jessie, family included her children
and their friend’s, grandchildren, cherished siblings,
nieces and nephews, cousins, in-laws, neighbors and friends,
especially her closet friend Janice.
Everyone was welcome at Jessie and Jackie’s, no one
left feeling unloved or hungry. Everyone mattered to
Jessie.

Road Beach. She loved swimming, walking, collecting sea glass and
spontaneous meetings with fellow beach lovers.
