Our Jennifer slid peacefully across life’s finish line after using every last bit that her body had to offer. (She always said she was like a cat with 9 lives). She closed her beautiful blue eyes for a final time, Wednesday 31 August 2022.
Jen was the fourth of five children of Joe and Peggy Scott (nee: McGuffie), born in Ireby, Cumbria, UK, 28 November 1946. As a young child Jennifer moved with her family to Okotoks where she finished her school years. She spent many years living near Pincher Creek before returning to Okotoks to care for her Mum, Peggy.
While Jennifer did not have any children of her own, she was like a second mother to her many nieces and nephews. She was always available to them as a confidante or on some occasions a co-conspirator. During her working life she was the head cook at her sister’s guest ranch, creating amazing meals for guests from around the world including a Governor General of Canada. You could ask her for just about any recipe and she could recite it from memory- which was great… as long as you were cooking for 100! (Her cherry cheesecake will be missed by many!) She set the bar high for the rest of us when it came to her work ethic, often the first to arrive and the last to leave. Anything she did she gave it her all.
Jen had many interests throughout her life, cooking, snowmobiling, knitting and photography to name a few. There was always a pet beside her.
Her heart was huge! She had a truly caring soul. Jen loved people! She always had time for a visit.
She gave the best hugs, was mischievous, funny, stubborn, caring, creative, spunky, and as crafty as a fox, but above all she loved her family unconditionally!
Jennifer was predeceased by her parents, Joe and Peggy Scott and by her sister Joan Ardiel. She will be forever remembered and loved by her family: Monica and Allan Grisdale and family, Len Ardiel and
family, Val and Will Hoogendyk and family, Jim Scott and partner Ingrid Eschuk and family. Rest peacefully lovely lady, when we see the stars sparkle at night we will know you are watching over us.
Jen’s family would like to send our sincerest thank you to the many people involved in her care;
Dr. Thomas Fung and all the staff on the Bonavista Unit at Southwood Nursing home, the medical team at Rockyview General Hospital in Emergency and on Unit 94 along with the NODA Volunteers and the HOPE team. Your care and compassion are truly appreciated.
In accordance with Jennifer’s wishes, cremation has taken place and she will be interred beside her parents at Millarville Christ Church. A celebration of Jen’s life will be held at a later date.
