Olive G. Janes
1927-2021
Olive G. Janes passed away at the
James Paton Memorial Hospital, Gander on April 9, 2021. She was 93
years old.
Olive was born at Twillingate, the
daughter of Allan and Mary Young.
In her early years she worked as a
school teacher at Carter’s Cove, Harcourt, Clarenville and St.
John’s.
She met and married the love of
her life, Roger Janes at Clarenville. They were together for 62 years
until his passing. They lived in St. John’s at the beginning of their
marriage and later moved to Gander.
After Roger’s retirement they
spent their winters in Florida, the fall and spring in Nova Scotia and
their summers in Traytown. No matter where she lived, everyone was
always welcomed.
Olive loved travelling, meeting
new people and – of course – yard sales. She had great Faith
and loved God, her family and friends.
Olive had been a resident of the
Nightingale Manor in Gander for the past three and a half years. She
loved all the church and social events that were held there. She was
known for playing her spoons whenever the music began. She also loved
chocolate, puzzle books and colourful scarves.
She will be greatly
missed.
