Jacq grew up in North Head, Grand Manan with five siblings and graduated from Grand Manan High School in 1960. She embarked on a life journey that would see her excel as a Homemaker in the 60’s and 70’s, a Cosmetics Sales Associate in the 80’s and then find the Career she would eventually retire from as an Activity Director for the Grand Manan Nursing Home. As an Activity Director Jacq found her calling and went above and beyond to engage and entertain Nursing Home Residents for many years.
Through all those years, her love of Gardening and Landscaping was on full display. She was an active Member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #44 until health issues prevented her from participating.
Through the 90’s Jacq organized and oversaw Benefit Bingos for local citizens needing a helping hand and found great personal satisfaction seeing them through and equal satisfaction watching the Community come together to help a neighbor.
Her later years saw her travelling to sunny destinations to enjoy Cruising and Beaches with beautiful white sand for taking long walks. She lived life well.
As per Jacq’s wishes Cremation has taken place.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
