Jeanette Campbell Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 23, 2016.
Jeanette Campbell, of Riverville/Lower Sackville, passed away suddenly but peacefully on June 21st, 2016, at her residence in Lower Sackville. Jeanette "Nettie" will be remembered for her loving smile, generous heart, and never-ending hospitality. Any visit with Nettie didn't officially begin until she had fixed her guests the most hearty 'tea' one could ask for. Although she lived in Halifax for most of her working life, she was most happy in her family home in Black River where she had spent the last number of years since her retirement. She is predeceased by her mother and father, Mary (MacDonald) and Donald (Malcolm) Campbell. She is survived by her sister, Whilomena and brothers, Malcolm (Christina), Bryden (Patsy), Alexander (Mary), and Francis (Colleen). Nettie loved all of her nieces and nephews and their children like her own. Visitation will be held Sunday, June 26th, 2-4pm and 7-9pm with funeral mass at 11am, Monday, June 27th 2016 at Saint Mary's Church, Mabou, with burial in the Parish Cemetery. Memorial donations to Saint Mary's Parish Cemetery Fund, Mabou, or charity of choice. On line condolences may be made to www.invernessfuneralhome.com

Nettie,
Can't believe that a whole year has gone by. Hopefully and I know, that you are in a better place with all the relatives and friends. I truly believe that there is another place on that side. Keep us all in your prayers.

I can't believe that it is a month since you passed away. I miss our little talks that we used to have even though sometimes they could get intense but it was all in fun. There are probably some good dances, concerts, card games in heaven to go to. Don't forget Church. I am sure that you are taking care of all our relatives there some day in the future, we will meet again. Forever in ours hearts, will be thinking of you.
Your cousin, Karen

To The Campbell Family,
My sincere condolence to all of you, my thoughts & prayers are with you.
Whenever I met Nettie, she always had a laugh, smile and perhaps a story or two. Usually saw Nettie at a CB dance, in fact the last time I chatted with Nettie was at a CB dance in Halifax. I had gone over to talk to herself and Wilena and suggested we get a square set going.
She is now enjoying good music and dance where it never ends.
Sincerely, Cathleen Rankin Seamone

I met Jeanette when I first started working at Commercial Union in the 70's. We were great friends and she was such a lovely person and an amazing friend. In 1982 I left Commercial Union and had my family. Unfortunately, I lost touch with Jeanette but thought of her often and was hoping to reunite with her this year on one of her visits to Halifax. Time passes too quickly and I will truly miss her. I hope she knew how much people loved and cared for her. May you rest in peace dear sweet Jeanette. My condolences to Whilomena and her family. Joy O'Hearn (Prospect)

June 24, 2016

To The Campbell Family,
You are all certainly in my thoughts and prayers.
Could always depend on a big smile, laugh and perhaps a story or two when meeting up with Nettie and that was usually at a CB dance. In fact the last time I saw Nettie was at such an occasion in Halifax in March. Was trying to get both herself and Wilena up on the floor for a square set. Now she is enjoying music and dance where the music and dance never ends. Sincerely, Cathleen Rankin Seamone
