It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of
The Rev. Elizabeth Jane Davies, B.A.,
M.Div., age 81, of Southampton. Elizabeth passed away on
Sunday, September 29, 2024 at the High Crest Nursing Home in
Springhill.
Born in Ontario, she was a daughter of the late Jack and Anne
(Monkman) Davies.
The Davies Family moved to Moncton, N.B., where Elizabeth
attended and graduated from Moncton High School in 1960. In 1962, she
graduated from UNB with a Teaching Degree; then from Mount Allison
University in 1966 with a B.A. She taught in various schools in the
Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec before entering Pine Hill Divinity Hall,
graduating with a B.Div in 1970. She ventured across the
Atlantic Ocean to Scotland, to attend Glasgow University’s Theological
College-Trinity, from 1970 – 1973. Concerns for her Mother’s health
caused Elizabeth to return to Canada before she could obtain her PhD
in Glasgow, however, she then chose to attain her M.Div from Pine Hill
in 1974. Elizabeth offered her gift of Ministry in the
United Church in Parry Sound, Ontario; Sydney, Nova Scotia; McAdam,
New Brunswick/Vanceboro, Maine; Mapleton and Southampton, Nova Scotia.
She answered a call to a group of Presbyterian churches in
Cumberland, which included St. David’s Church, Springhill,
St. James, Oxford, and St. Andrew’s, Kolbec. She again returned to
assist Southampton United until their closure in September
2020. She was honoured by the United Church of Canada in
2021 for providing ‘devoted ministry’ for a period of 50
years.
Elizabeth’s artistic talents were outstanding. Give her
material and she could craft an award-winning quilt; knitting needles
and yarn, she could make a baby layette, blankets, mittens or
sweater! Choosing bright colours to keep knitting all year
towards the goal of helping to fill the Christmas Mitten Tree at the
various churches she served over the years. Elizabeth loved her pets –
her cats and dogs were her first concern and they were a necessary
part of her life.
Elizabeth will be dearly missed by her cousins Steven and
Janet Fluke and Susie Trenholm; as well as long time friend Rev. Anne
Jackson of England. She is also survived by her Church Family of
Southampton.
