Nora “Jean” Esme KEDDY (Nicol)
Age 96, Jean passed away gracefully with family by her side in Maplestone Enhanced Care on August 8, 2021. Born in 1925 to Charles and Lily (Hiltz) Nicol, Mahone Bay, the last surviving member of her immediate family. In 1946 she married Frank Keddy of Blockhouse and later moved to Dartmouth where they raised four daughters. Mom was a kind and gentle soul. A stay home mom, she cared for other children who considered her a second mother. She was a long-time member of the Lutheran Church of Our Saviour where she sang in the church choir. Mom enjoyed dancing, swimming, gardening and baking. An avid knitter, she made sure we had mittens, sweaters and an afghan or two. She especially liked preparing and watching her family enjoy delicious Sunday dinners. Survived by daughters, Leslie (Tom) Holley, Timberlea; Bonnie (Churchie) Church, Cooks Brook; Shelley (Jerry) MacDonald, Calgary, Alta.; Robin Keddy (Blayne Prevost), Dartmouth; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren, Matthew (Erin) Brownlow (Kyan, Ronan), Nine Mile River; Nicolas (Stephanie) Church (Sophia, Nathan), Stayner, Ontario; Robert and Rimmie Church, Oshawa, Ont.; Melanie Church, Cooks Brook; Rebecca (Corey Mitchell) Church, Sackville; Jerome “JD” (Eunice) MacDonald (Livan, Kaitlyn, Gisella), Belton, Texas; Alexandra (Jamie) Hennessy (Kaenen, Nolah), Leduc, Alberta; Timothy (Abigail) MacDonald, Calgary, Alta.; Stephanie (Shaun Naugler) Keddy (Mya, Lily), Dartmouth. Predeceased by husband in 2002, sisters, Genevieve Nicol, Joan Hyslop (Nicol); brothers, Ogilvie, Linden and Clarence Nicol.
