Jessie was the proud aunt of many nephews and nieces and grand-nephews and grand-nieces. Jessie was a generous, kind, and loving soul, who was a pillar of strength and joy to everyone that met her. Jessie always made others around her feel special. To say Jessie will be missed is beyond words, she was deeply loved and supported by her family, friends, and parish community at St. Charles Garnier Parish in Hamilton. Jessie enjoyed spreading kindness and positivity by putting others before herself. She loved to bake bread, cookies, brownies, and her famous 'Pineapple Squares' for others to enjoy. She was an avid card player and loved competing in games of bridge, euchre, cribbage, and bingo. Jessie shed her positive light working over 40 years at St. Joseph's Hospital and was always happy to volunteer at the Good Shepherd Centre and her parish. Throughout the years, Jessie made lasting friendships with many priests, nuns, and parishioners. Our deepest gratitude to Father Saju Oreethaparambil, Anne McInnis, and Donna Marcaccio.
