Mourning her loss and celebrating her life are her husband of 53 years, Clem Drake, daughters Annette Drake (Wayne) and Renee Power (Doug) and the real blessing in her life, her grandchildren. Jillian Oldford, Riley Halley (Georgia), Julie Halley (Nate), Anna Halley (their Father David Halley), John and Maria Power. She always had little surprises ready for visits and showed them unconditional love and affection.
Survived by Brother John Power (Myrna), Brother in-laws Peter Drake (Marilyn), Richard Drake (Florrie) and Sister in-laws Judy Drake (Marty) and Frances Drake (Rick). She also leaves several nieces, nephews, extended family and friends with fond memories.
Dear friend and cousin Janice Gallant (Elmer), lifelong friends Kay and James Whelan, Charlie and Melvie Moore, Karon Kelly, Sophie and Angela Standford, Aubrey and Mary Burt, as well as the many friends she has made with staff and residents alike at Admirals Coast Retirement Home, especially the “girls”. All the chats, laughs and prayers made a huge difference to her life.
If you met Jackie, it did not take you long to figure out how witty, kind and caring she was. A strong woman who looked for humor and grace in any situation and who protected and loved her own fiercely. Jackie did what we are all called to do, spread kindness, include everyone and make a difference one person at a time.
She loved Christmas, children and especially babies so it is very fitting that she passed under the care of 5 North B Staff at the Health Science Centre. Thank you for caring for her in her final days. We would also like to thank the staff at Mount Pearl Square Dialysis Unit and our special nurse, Lisa Power. Avery special thank you to the staff of Admirals Coast Retirement Centre for their support and professionalism, you are family to us.
