Doris Mae Jobb
1929-2019
Doris Mae
Jobb – 89, Truro,
passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 9, 2019, at Colchester
East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Being the only child of Barry and
Dorothy (Staples) Totten (Upper Belmont), she toddled around the
logging camps where her parents worked during her pre-school years and
later, as she grew older, helped out on the Totten Farm (Staples Brook
Road), assisting Mom and Dad Totten with numerous farm
chores.
For her education, she attended the one-room Upper Belmont
School. Marrying Wendell in 1947 and having seven children in eleven
years, there was rarely a day the clothesline was not filled with
wash, summer and winter. When her children grew older, she worked as a
clerk at various businesses – Davidson’s (Debert),
Brown’s (Belmont), G.B. Murphy Jewellers, Diane Dress Shoppe
and MacQuarries (all of Truro). After the death of her dearly-loved
husband in 1970, she moved to Truro.
Doris is survived by her friend, Allison Gower, Truro; sons,
Wayne, Edmonton; Al (Kathy), Sechelt, British Columbia; Brian (Joan),
Lunenburg; Dean (Kerry Oliver), Wolfville; daughters, Shannon (Phillip
Hamula), Calgary, Alberta; Gail (Gary Collier), Peers, Alberta; Janet
(Michael Trefry), Hatchet Lake; grandchildren, Scott, Keri, Ryan,

10 great grandchildren; brothers-in-law, Winston Jobb, Redcliff,

nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Wendell; sisters, Marie

years as her life journey became increasingly more
difficult.
