Morley Charles Jodrey – 101, of
Gaspereau, Kings County, passed away Thursday, December 20, 2018 in
Dykeland Lodge, Windsor. Born in Greenfield Mountain, he was the son
of the late Charles and Evelyn (Levy) Jodrey. He began work at a very
young age for his uncle, R.A. Jodrey, building the power dam system
from Gaspereau Lakes to White Rock. He then took on his second career
working for Western Plumbing and Heating. He was a part time apple
farmer and supplied apples to stores in Halifax and Dartmouth. A
Liberal at heart, who hosted many social functions for the cause! He
was a loving family man who enjoyed hosting family reunions every
summer in his backyard where he demonstrated his amazing cooking
skills. His grandchildren will always treasure these memories. He and
his wife, Viola, were members of the “Globe
Trotters” and travelled the world together. He was a member
of the Wolfville Coffee Club for over 35 years. His stories
will be greatly missed. He was the last surviving member of his
immediate family. He and Viola raised three children; Judith
(predeceased) (Philip) Miskulin, Langley, BC; a son, John
“Jack” (Beth), Gaspereau and Jane (Tom) Hennigar,
Gaspereau; 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He was
predeceased by his wife, Viola (Millett); four brothers, Roy, Harley,
Joe and Carroll; two sisters, Beulah and Blanche. The family would
like to commend the nursing staff of Dykeland Lodge for their
phenomenal care. Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Thursday,
December 27, 2018 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. The
funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, December 28,
