Jean B. Flewwelling
1922-2019
The children of Jean Beaumont (Manchester)
Flewwelling would like our friends, relatives, and colleagues to know
that our amazing mother passed away peacefully on March 14th, 2019, at
the age of 96. Mom was born in Saint John, the daughter of the late
Percy and Hazel (Morrison) Manchester. She was predeceased by our Dad,
Paul H. Flewwelling, who passed away in 1974 and by her brothers
Morris Manchester, Dr. J. Stewart Manchester, Dr. Donald F. Manchester
and her sister, Dorothy Willett.
Mom was the centre of our
large family and will be greatly missed by her children, Christine
Flewwelling (Philip Thompson), St Andrews; Martin Flewwelling (Cynthia
Mills Flewwelling), Rothesay; Brian (Theresa) Flewwelling, Quispamsis;
Gwendolyn (Mark) Tonge, Quispamsis; Susan (Lane) Atkinson, Rothesay;
Moira (Paul) McCarville, Rothesay. Mom was a loving example to all of
us and took pride and special joy in her role as grandmother to 17
grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 2
great-great-grandchildren. She was also a loving aunt to a number of
nieces and nephews.
Mom was positive,
fun-loving, and had an adventurous spirit. She and Dad spent the early
years of their marriage in England while Dad was a pilot trainer in
the R.A.F. after WWII. Upon their return to Canada, Mom focused on
raising the 6 of us and then returned to the workforce in various
roles, most recently in real estate and retail sales. While in her
60s, she began university courses and enjoyed more travel. Over the
years, she was a long time member of the I.O.D.E. and A.C.W., was an
active member of Kennebecasis Senior Citizens Club, and volunteered
with St. John Ambulance and Kennebecasis Food Basket. For her 90th
birthday celebration, Mom enjoyed a cruise to Bermuda with her 4
daughters, 2 of her granddaughters and her good friend Joan Tonge.
Mom was known right up to
the end of her life for her thoughtfulness, inquisitiveness, and wit,
and was truly a giving and gracious lady.
We would like to express
our appreciation to the staff of Parkland in the Valley, Embassy Hall
for their kindness and care.
Arrangements are with
Kennebecasis Community Funeral Home, 152 Pettingill Road, Quispamsis
