We are saddened to hear about the passing of our friend and neighbour in Cornwallis. Jeanne was a delight. She lived right across the street and we often popped back and forth. It was nice that we got to know her. Our Condolences to her family.

Wayne/Linda Isles - January 24, 2023

Ron: I have just learned of the passing of Jeanne. I want to extend my deepest sympathy, to you and the family. While living in Cornwallis Jeanne was very involved in our Church Family. She was a member of the Choir and then later became a very valuable Lay Reader. Also, she was so very kind to my Mom (Marguerite Rawding) while living here. She and Mom had some wicked "Scrabble Games" and Jeanne was always up for a drive and to eat out - which I am sure you can agree. We had the pleasure of meeting you on a few occasions when you came here to visit - Mom really "loved" you and she also loved Jeanne! Remember all the wonderful times you created with Jeanne on her life's journey and these will help ease the pain you are experiencing. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of Jeanne. Sincerely, Linda (Rawding) Isles

I was saddened to know of Jeanne's passing. I met Jeanne when we were neighbors in Cornwallis Park, Cornwallis, NS. She was always positive and joyful, enjoyed social functions, open to adventure, had a special bond with her dogs, and enjoyed making her home special by adding her favorite touches. I will remember her for her smile and that she was easy to talk to. She will be missed by family and friends and all who knew her. May the memory of the moments spent with her sustain the family in the coming days.
