DODDS, Jessie Hilda (nee Morgan)
September 2, 1927 - February 8, 2015
Jessie was born in Vancouver and lived all of her life in the lower mainland. She enjoyed a lengthy career in the cosmetics industry and continued working well into her late 70's demonstrating perfume during the Christmas season. Jessie was a devoted volunteer at the Burnaby Hospital Cancer Clinic, West Burnaby United Church, Community Lunch, and most recently, South Burnaby United Church Thrift Store. She was a voracious reader, belonging to a number of book clubs during the course of her life. She was a classy, gracious, warm and friendly person, who made everyone feel special; and she loved her family unconditionally. Jessie is survived by brother Stan (Dar) of Kelowna; daughter Vikki (Corrie) of Burnaby; granddaughter Dorette (Scot) of Port Coquitlam; grandson Jason (Kelly) of North Vancouver; and great-grandchildren Ethan, Erica, Liam, and Leyton; step- granddaughters Dorothy (Dave) of Victoria, and April (Rob) of Ladysmith. She is also survived by cousins Shirley Mason and Lynn Owens Whalen; nieces Lisa Rossiter and Kathy Litke and their families, as well as many good friends. A Memorial Service will be held at West Burnaby United Church, 6050 Sussex Ave., Burnaby on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, you may wish to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice. You loved well and were loved in return, our dearest Mom and Nana, Jessie.
