Jessie C. MacDougall
1936-2020
MacDougall, Jessie Catherine
– Age 83 of Long Point, Inverness Co., passed away with
family by her side Thursday April 24th, 2020.
Born in South West Margaree, Cape Breton on June 23, 1936,
she was a daughter of the late Duncan and Elizabeth Agnes
Gillis.
Jessie was a faithful Roman Catholic, along with Willie Dan,
they were long-time parishioners of Stella Maris Parish, Creignish and
active members in the parish community, they called home. She was a
member of the Stella Maris Parish Ladies Auxiliary. Whenever a helping
hand was needed, she was always just a call away. Her love of her
family, friends and community was deep rooted. Her natural gift to
help others, led her in her profession as a nurse at Inverness
Consolidated Memorial hospital, where she could lend a comforting
smile and supportive voice when it was most needed. A trip down Route
19 was never complete without a stop at Jessie’s for a cup of tea and
fresh homemade biscuits. Mom will be lovingly remembered as a devoted
mother, doting grandmother, faithful sister, caring aunt, selfless
friend and compassionate nurse.
She leaves behind and will be greatly missed by her
daughters, Brenda (Robert), Oxford, NS; Mary (Roy), Niagara Falls,
Ont; Judy (Tony), Oakville, Ont; sons, Bill (Holly), Port Hood, NS;
Ian (Sue), Mechanicsville, VA, USA; grandchildren, Bradley, Callen,
