| 971 | Jean B. Hennigar - It is with great sadness and also joy that we announce the passing from this life into the glory of eternal life of Jean Beatrice Hennigar on Tuesday, April 5th, 2016, at home, aged 100. Born February 18th, 1916, at home in Gaspereau, she was the daughter of the late Roy and Lena Isabel Jodrey. At an early age, her family moved to Wolfville, where she attended school. Upon graduation, she went to Mack Business College, learning skills that stayed with her for her entire life, especially the art of shorthand. She worked at Minas Basin Pulp and Power until her marriage to her handsome skating partner, Dean S. Hennigar of Greenwich. After their wedding at her parents’ home in Hantsport, they moved to Brooklyn, Hants Co., then to Somerset, Kings Co. The next move was to South Berwick, where she became a charter member of the South Berwick branch of the Women’s Institutes of Nova Scotia. After a summer spent at Turner’s Brook, the family moved finally, in 1953, to Sheffield Mills when they purchased the Harold Chase apple farm. There Mum raised five children, did the books for the farm, and was a director of Minas Basin Pulp and Paper Company for 16 years. She attended First Cornwallis Baptist Church as a faithful and faith-filled member for 62 years, serving as clerk for the Church for 19 years. She was a charter member of the Blanche Gower Auxiliary, and was a member of the Women’s Missionary Society, played the piano and taught Sunday School. She and Dad also taught Sunday School in the Gibson Woods Baptist Church. They were both members of The Gideons International. She attended PTA meetings for many years, was an Explorer leader, and remained a member of the Sheffield Mills and District W.I. until the time of her passing. Over the years, Mum researched the genealogy of four branches of our family and was a charter member of the Kings Historical Society and one of the early members of the Genealogical Society. Her second hobby from the time she was 13 until recently was scrapbooking. If anyone needed a picture or article from years ago having to do with anything that touched Mum’s life, she most likely had it. She was a terrific reference for family, and also as a member of the Sheffield Mills Community Association. She was part of a W.I. committee that wrote and published the first edition of \"Grist From the Mills\". Mum was an avid reader all her life and passed on her love of books and reading to us all. She enjoyed travelling, but was always glad to come home. She especially enjoyed spending winters on the island of Montserrat at their home there, and summers at the cottage at Lake George. She loved to play games, especially Scrabble, and most card games, teaching us to try to win, but also teaching us how to lose. Her \"sticky buns\" were legend and you never went hungry at her table. She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Dean, in 2005, an infant daughter at birth, sister, Florence Bishop and brother, John Jodrey. Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held on Friday, April 29th, 7-9 p.m., at White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.

John was born on May 25, 1936 in Hantsport to Merton and Pauline (Greene). He was also predeceased by his beloved son, Jeffrey; and grandson, Cole. He was an outgoing, friendly and generous man who enjoyed interacting with others and could talk for hours if given the chance. He enjoyed playing hockey and did so until his later years. One of his favourite activities was exploring unfamiliar roads, which on one trip, led us into a seedy part of Boston but, unfazed, found his way out. It was pre-GPS but he had an excellent sense of direction and always seemed to be able navigate unknown territory. John gave a hundred percent to all things of interest to him and was especially proud of the 100 dairy cattle herd he built up. He was an avid reader and problem solver, somehow being able, most of the time, to come up with a solution to difficulties. "Cowboy logic" he'd say. He also spent many years in the construction business, working pipeline in Ontario and later working for the Town of Hantsport and also doing individual projects. John loved getting phone calls from his children of whom he was so proud. Since moving to British Columbia, he kept in touch with family and friends in Nova Scotia, and he and his cousin, Albert, were on the phone many times as they had established a close bond in childhood. Many thanks to all those at Royal Jubilee Hospital who had some part in taking such good care of John. You were so kind and helpful and it was very much appreciated. | Tracey, John Llewellyn (I7274)
