CRECKER, Esther Margaret (nee Brinston)

Esther passed peacefully away in the presence of her loving family at Agnes Pratt Nursing Home on Friday, March 11, 2022 — in her 99th year. She was predeceased by her husband, Frank; sons, John and Ted; stepchildren, Frank, Patsy, Marg, Cyril and Jim and her six siblings. She left a treasure of a lifetime of wonderful memories with her proud children, Gary (Vicki), Debbie Jacobs, Karen Kettle (Randy) and Sylvester (Moya); daughters-in-law, Daphne Crocker and Brenda Crocker; her 12 beautiful grandchildren; 13 greatgrandchildren; 19 stepgrandchildren, special niece, Denise Brinston, and all members of the Brinston family, as well as a large circle of other relatives and friends. Esther was so very proud of her family, faith and heritage — maintaining a deep connection to her birthplace, Witless Bay. She was a resourceful woman and knew how to live life to the fullest — a great quality for sure. She thrived on many activities — trouting and berry picking were some of her favourites, along with time spent at the cabin playing cards and her love of Bingo. She enjoyed her travels outside the province and had many favourite vacation spots, especially Las Vegas. She was a great storyteller, with an amazing memory and uncanny ability to recall the vivid details from her past. Her sharp wit, funny stories and sayings provided many belly laughs at family gatherings, which were many. As a family, we have been truly blessed. The family would like to thank her dedicated support team, Dr. Steven Major and the wonderful staff at Agnes Pratt for their tender care and concern while making her short stay there comfortable. Resting at Caul’s Funeral Home, Lemarchant Road. Cremation has taken place. Visitation on Tuesday from 11am9pm. Funeral Mass will take place at 11am on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, from Corpus Christi Church. Inurnment at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery will take place at a later date. Flowers are gratefully accepted or donations in Esther’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
