Jaunita Fitzimmons
1933-2017
FITZSIMMONS:JAUNITA MAY(1933-2017) It is with heavy hearts
and sadness that we announce the passing of our dearest
mother, on Thursday morning February 9th at the Grand
Manan Hospital. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Saying
goodbye to the constant in our lives, our family matriarch
Juanita May Fitzsimmons is proving to be more difficult than
we as a family could ever have imagined. Born in
Woodwards Cove, Grand Manan, NB on June 13th, 1933, where
she resided the rest of her life. She was the daughter of
Ernest and Flora (Raymond) Flagg. Juanita was many
things to many people: Wife, Mother, Grand Mother, Great
Grand Mother, Great Great Grand Mother, Sister, Aunt,
loyal friend, Faithful Church Member and Sunday School
Teacher. She always knew it was the little things in life
that made the most precious memories. She loved spending time
with her family and friends, which more often than not
included a game of cards. We will all cherish the homemade
gifts from the heart (preserves and knitted goods) that she
loved sharing with family and friends. Always known for her
fearless sense of adventure, she loved hopping on a
motorcycle with any handsome man that would take
her. Swimming was a passion of mom’s which was
evident by her challenging anyone to swim across Gibson Lake
and the Cove as she had done more than once.. In her late
70’s she went for her first sea-doo ride. Her spiritual
trips to Beulah Camp were a highlight each year . Everyone
who knew Juanita witnessed a life that was embraced and lived
to the fullest. An active member of her community, Juanita,
along with her special friends, Peggy and Eileen, never
missed an opportunity to attend an island event. You name it
she was there with her big heart and
warm smile. Juanita was a woman of great
faith and devotion, our pillar of strength and love, she will
be missed by all who knew and loved her. She is survived by
