James Jennings Gillespie
1932-2016
At the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen NB on December 21, 2016,
James Jennings Gillespie, husband of M. Elaine (Murray) Gillespie of
St. George NB. Born in New River NB on May 14, 1932, he was a son of
the late Harold J. and Gertrude (Pickett) Gillespie. A loving husband,
father, grandfather and great-grandfather, in addition to his wife,
Elaine, Jim is survived by one son: Bill (Sandy) Gillespie of
Pennfield NB; one daughter: Audrey (Allen) Whittier of Seeley’s Cove
NB; three grandchildren: Shawn Whittier (Ruby Eborde), Shannon (Dale)
Shaw and Jessica Gillespie (Jon Doucet); one great-granddaughter:
Alyssa Whittier; and by several nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides
his parents, Jim was predeceased by his siblings: Audrey Booth and
Harold B. Gillespie; and by a half sister: Gertrude Burke. He was the
last surviving member of his immediate family.
Prior to retirement, Jim worked as a Park Ranger at the New River
Beach Provincial Park for a number of years. An avid outdoorsman he
enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved keeping busy with his hands and
could often be found tinkering with a chainsaw or a motor of some
kind. He was the type of guy to give you the shirt of his back and he
will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Arrangements in the care of the St. George Funeral Home (755-3533) 26
Portage Street, St. George NB. As keeping with Jim’s request there
will be no formal visitation or funeral service. A private family
service will be held at a later time. In Jim’s memory, donations to
the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.
