Janet’s Obituary
Pauley, Janet Eliza (MacLeod) -91, Pugwash, peacefully went home to be with her Lord and Savior on March 6, 2022. Her daughters had the privilege to hold her hand as she journeyed to her Heavenly home. She was the daughter of Daniel and Ida (Fraser) MacLeod. She was born at home on her family farm in Mountville, Pictou County. Janet received her education in a one room schoolhouse, then at Stellarton High. After graduating she taught school for 2 years before leaving for Cape Breton to study nursing. She attended Sydney City Hospital School of Nursing were she became a Registered Nurse. Her career took her to many locations throughout Nova Scotia. Mom always valued education; at age 58 she graduated from Mount St. Vincent University with her degree in gerontology. Janet spent her last 40 years at East Cumberland Lodge where she was always known as Mrs. Pauley or just Mrs. P. Mom’s final days were spent living at East Cumberland Lodge which she said “ it just feels like going home” as she planned her admission. She is survived by her daughters, Lisa (Gordie) Benjamin and Jennifer (Steven) Jamieson; daughter in law, Darlene (Sarson) Pauley; beloved grandmother to Brittany Pauley (Brandon), Justin Pauley (Sara), Matthew Benjamin (Katie), Phillip Benjamin , Justine Benjamin (Meryck), Danielle Jamieson and Connor Jamieson; great granddaughter, Elyse Mattinson; a brother, Fraser (Lorraine) MacLeod; sister in law and friend, Jean MacLeod. Besides her parents she was predeceased by her husband, Vaughn Pauley; son, Earle Pauley; brothers, Norman, Edward, Alex; sister, Beulah. Together Vaughn and Janet raised their family in Port Howe along with running a family business “Pauley Brothers” General Store. Family was everything to our mother. She loved every holiday and special occasion so she could prepare a meal along with a special cake. The more the merrier was always her motto. Her house was open to everyone be it for a meal or a place to sleep for the night. Every night ended with the same for Mom, she would spend hours in prayer. She always said “I pray for each and every family member twice a day”. Many prayers have been answered because of her faithfulness. We can’t put into words the amazing care she received at East Cumberland Lodge by each and every staff member. The love and dignity she was shown will never be forgotten. Visitation will be held from 6-8 pm Wednesday, March 9, 2022, with the funeral service at 2 pm Thursday, March 10, 2022, both in Mundle’s Funeral Home, 204 Water St., Pugwash.
