Jacqueline Mola Obituary
(McCorry) Mola
Jacqueline Marina (McCorry) Mola, 86, wife of the late James Mola, passed away on May 1, 2021. Jackie (Aunt Jack to her relatives) was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia on January 29, 1935, daughter of the late John G. and Rhoda Kathleen (Colp) McCorry.
She is survived by brother Jim (Sandi) of Dartmouth NS; nieces Christina McCorry (Jeremey Wilson) of Dartmouth NS, Jane Martin of Bridgewater NS, Susan (Bob) Houlihan of Dartmouth NS; and nephews Michael (Jamie) McCorry of Lawrencetown NS, John Wolfe of Vancouver BC, and Dwight (Loni) Wolfe of Prince George BC. Jackie was predeceased by brother Theodore, sisters Elsie (McCorry) Martin and Dale (McCorry) Wolfe.
Jackie attended school in Liverpool. She graduated from the Maternity Nursing Program (1955) at Grace Hospital of the Salvation Army, Halifax, after which she worked in Bridgewater and Liverpool NS. In 1957 she accepted a position as a private nurse in New Canaan, Connecticut. In 1959, Jackie joined Drs. Brown and Crary as they established the New Canaan Medical Group. She was employed by the practice until her retirement in 2005, but continued to provide assistance in various capacities when needed for many years thereafter.
She was a Patient Support Volunteer through the Visiting Nurses of Wilton and volunteered with local medical clinics sponsored by the Lapham Senior Center. Jackie was also the President of the Village of New Canaan Condo Association.
Jackie was a beloved friend to many. She was a good listener and provider of sage advice; she was always there to help a friend in need. She will be remembered for her love of Nova Scotia, family, friends and all things Scottie. She will be sorely missed.
The family wishes to thank Jackie's many friends in the New Canaan area who have supported her in recent years.
A Memorial Gathering will be held on Saturday, May 15th , from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm with the Service commencing at 12:00 noon at Hoyt Funeral Home 199 Main Street, New Canaan, CT. Internment will take place in Nova Scotia at a later date.

It´s been nearly 3 years since Jackie passed on. Today (Jan 29) marks the glorious day she made her grand entrance into this life and impressed this world with her goodness! Jackie came to New Canaan in the latter 50s to help care for my quadriplegic dad, Jack Pietsch, after his coming home from rehabilitating from polio in Massachusetts. She was 21 and I was 4. We all lived under my grandparents roof...Dad, Mom, Dad´s parents, plus his two younger brothers, my 6 yr old sister & me, & the wonderful Jackie! She was perfect for the challenge of those times, and the many years since, to so many others. She was `my Jackie´, really, all my life to our last phone call in late March 2021. But I know her canvas was broad & bedazzled with friends, family, patients & her husband Jim and all her beloved Scotties along the way! She even had 3 `Pennys´ as it turns out(I was the first, in the States anyway), but all loved! Happy (what would have been) 89th Birthday dearest Jackie! I will love & miss you always......Penny P.
