Jessie Leona Webb
Jessie Leona Webb, 84 of the Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow, formerly of the Marsh Road, Thorburn, passed away January 11, 2018, at the manor with family by her side.
Born June 30, 1933, in Stellarton, she was a daughter of the late Edward and Sadie Winnifred (MacPherson) Fraser.
In her early childhood, she lived in Piedmont where she attended the community school. Later on, she resided in Stellarton where she worked at MacCara’s as a cook and was always known as a hard worker.
On February 12, 1958 Jessie married Floyd Isreal Leroy Webb and moved to Linacy. They later settled at the Marsh Road, Thorburn, spending her remaining years on their hobby farm, caring for the many gardens and enjoying the countless hours in her flower beds. Mom loved the sight of the sea, and the time spent at the cottage in Five Islands, digging clams and the soft ocean breeze against her cheeks. She was known for her cooking, especially her baking. She treasured her grandchildren and will be dearly missed by her sister Jean who spent many hours on the phone talking, and visiting with one another. She had a giving heart and will be missed.
She is survived by her sons: Floyd, Parrsboro; twins Dale (Tammany), Thorburn; Darrell (Brenda), Piedmont; 10 grandchildren: Floyd, Melissa, Jeremy (Lacey), (Stacey, Brittany, Dale Jr. and their mom Kim), Darrell “Christopher” (Shelly), Matthew (Ceilidh), Logan (Hillary), and Landon; 7 greatgrandchildren: Nicole, Alisson, Zoey, Gauge, Madelynn, Carson and Owen, beloved sister Jean, 100 Mile House, BC; many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Floyd, a daughter in infancy, Hazel, sisters, Phyllis and Marg, a daughter-in-law, April. Cremation has taken place. There will be no visitation by request.
A public graveside committal service will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Thorburn Cemetery with Debbie Stewart presiding.
Family flowers only. Donations in memory of Jessie may be made to the Nova Scotia Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia, or to a charity of one’s choice.
A special thank you to the Doctors and Nursing staff at the Glen Haven Manor for the care given to Mom during her time there. It was very much appreciated by the family.
