In her own words:
By the Grace of God, I led a full life. That fulfilment was for me.
My dear family and trusting friends;
James, devotion
Sons Ray and Wally Jessome, I could not have known joy without you
Carolyn, cherished daughter-in-law

brother Wally
My gratitude shall always be with you all. Your names are inscribed in my heart and your spirits are forever linked to my soul.
God Bless, and keep you all safe.

Mom
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye
Born in Nova Scotia,
Mamie moved to Cornwall Ontario in 1963 to raise her family, while there, she followed her dream and love for music, becoming the lead singer of her own band.
Attending Expo ’67, she then made frequent trips to her second favorite city in Canada, Montreal.
Always missing the fresh scent of salt air, Peggy’s Cove and the Bluenose, she returned home to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the mid 70’s.
Working at Edward’s and Julie’s, overlooking the Halifax Harbor was a dream come true ….. she was home.
Living on Birmingham St ….. walking our dog Moushka through Point Pleasant park, atop Citadel Hill and escorting her home from work at Old Man Morias in the evenings will forever be fond memories.
Putting her artistic skills to work, she began her career as a hair stylist, managing her own shop at the Mount Saint Vincent Mother House for over 25 years for the Sisters of Charity.
Our mother was a teacher of life, an incredible cook, a singer / songwriter, and the most giving person to everyone she met, to know her was to love her.
You will live forever in our hearts
In honoring her final wishes there will be no funeral service.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mamie’s name to Hospice Halifax, thank you all so much for your unwavering devotion, and providing her with unmeasurable care, we are forever grateful.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mamie Mayhew October 22 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Dartmouth, Province: Nova Scotia
