Published by Ottawa Citizen on Nov. 23, 2012.
DELARGE–JESSUP, Mellisa Mae
Born April 21, 1947
Suddenly, but peacefully, at home I left this world on November 20, 2012 at the age of 65 leaving behind my beloved husband of 47 years James (Jim), my dear children: Sheila (Brian Griffin), Loretta (Chris Palmateer), Donna (Craig Heryet) and Paul (Sheila Cavanaugh), and my cherished grandsons: Wyatt and Cale. I also leave behind my sisters Peggy Waite (Lindsay), Patsy Craig (Ken), brothers Davit (Louise), Steve, Sandie and Norman (Dorothy) and sisters-in-law Linda Delarge, Diane Delarge, Susan Gienow, Jean Kauffeldt and Marlene Jessup as well as stepfather Welland Caldwell, many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. I reunite with my parents Della Caldwell, Allan Delarge, in-laws Hubert and Margaret Jessup, brothers Nelson, Harry, Alex, sister Teresa Cote and brothers-in-law Claude Kauffeldt, Harold Jessup and Serge Cote. A sincere thank you to everyone who touched my life and contributed to my well-being here in this world. Arrangements have been entrusted to Fraser – Morris & Heubner Funeral Home Ltd. in Cobden. My family will host visitations Friday, November 23, 2012 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. as well as Saturday, November 24, from 9:30 to just before 11 a.m. The funeral will take place at the Cobden Pentecostal Church. Cremation to follow. For those who wish, in lieu of Flowers, contributions in my memory to Rogers house would be appreciated and graciously accepted. Those attending the funeral are also invited to wear a favorite hat, if you so desire.
