Jesse Wilson Oram
1938-2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Jesse Wilson Oram on February 15, 2022 at Twillingate Memorial
Hospital at the age of 84. He was born in Gambo in 1938 and had
several stops along the way in Goose Bay and Gander before settling in
Twillingate in 1967. Jesse and Eva raised their family in Twillingate
and enjoyed becoming part of this great community that became their
home. As Manager at “the George” for 27
years Jesse was well known to the local hockey community and was quick
to share his love of the Montreal Canadiens, especially with
Leaf’s fans. Jesse’s positive attitude and faith
brought him through challenging times in recent years with life
changes and health challenges. His positive attitude undoubtedly
extended his life, and this memory of positivity will comfort those he
leaves behind. He was genuine and caring to the end appreciating
friendship, fellowship and family.
Jesse was predeceased by parents Lewis and Emma Oram,
brothers Malcolm and Cluney and sister-in-law Marina. He leaves with
fond and loving memories: Wife of 59 years Eva, Children Donna
(Shawn), Brian, Diane (Stephen) and Cindy, Grandchildren Ian, Emily,
Rebecca, Grant, Andrew and Jessica. His cherished siblings Bram
(Julia), Tab (June), Randolph (Nina) as well as a circle of nieces,
nephews, other relatives and many friends.
In light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, the health and
safety of our families and our community continues to be our highest
priority. A public visitation will take place from Isles Funeral Home,
Twillingate on Friday, February 18, 2022 from 2-4pm. The
