- Edith Mary Jesse
-
- On Sunday, May 30, 1999, Edith Mary Jesse, late of Pangman,
passed away at Weyburn General Hospital at the age of 87 years.
Edith Jesse was born in Winnipeg, MB on June 3, 1912. She was
raised on a farm in the interlake area (Grahamdale) Manitoba
where her parents homesteaded. She was predeceased by her father,
Josef and mother Margaretha Mangel, and lately by her husband
Louis Jesse of Amulet. She leaves to mourn her three sons: Charles
(Myra) Jesse of Pangman, and children: Kelly (Lynn) and Aeron
(Tracy); George (Barb) Jesse of Drinkwater, and children: Twyla
and Jinell; and Lloyd (Donna) Jesse of Medicine Hat, AB, and
children: Christopher, Angela and Andrea; one brother, Oscar
(Runey) Mangel of Ashern, MB; three sisters: Hilda (Jim) Clark
of Moosehorn, MB; Frieda Clark of Grahamdale, MB; and Irma Miller
of Caledonia, ON; as well as many nieces and nephews. Edith cared
for her brother, sisters and her parents during their failing
health. With her parent's passing, she travelled to Winnipeg
with her dear friend Isabell Oswald. In Winnipeg, they took on
cooking jobs and caretaking work. She travelled to California
on occasion. Edith met Louis Jesse through mail correspondence
and they were married in Winnipeg on April 30, 1943. They returned
to the Amulet area to begin farming. Edith loved to travel, but
the farming lifestyle had its limitations. She could always prepare
a meal from leftovers. The family enjoyed a full course meal
on Sundays, Christmas and other special occasions. The family
always enjoyed these special times and loved her cooking. She
worked hard on the farm alongside Louis, tending to the livestock
and helping during harvest to bring in the crops. Edith was a
long term member of the Amulet Women's Guild where she completed
beautiful embroidery and quilts. She would always attend the
school picnics with her sons. Gardening and making preserves
each year took much of her time until the purchase of their first
deep freeze. She was often milking cows morning and night, cream
separating and cleaning. The onset of arthritis and later diabetes
was very hard on her, although she tried not to show it. She
frequently would joke and kid around, even though she had to
deal with the pain. Edith had a great love for animals, above
all her special farm dogs. She resided in the Deep South Personal
Care Home for the past year and a half. Mom and Grandma, we love
you dearly and you will be greatly missed in our hearts. A prayer
service was held Wednesday, June 2 at 7:00 p.m. from Fletcher
Funeral Chapel, Weyburn. The funeral service was held Thursday,
June 3 at 2:00 p.m. from Ogema United Church, Ogema, with Rt.
Rev. Tom Collings officiating. Interment followed in Amulet Cemetery,
Amulet. All those in attendance were considered to be honorary
pallbearers. The active pallbearers were: Tom Webb, George Murray,
Keith Warren, Albert Webb, Parry Johnson and Michael Madigan.
For friends so wishing, donations in her memory may be made to
the Diabetes Association or the Deep South Personal Care Home,
Pangman, in her memory. Arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher
Funeral Chapels Ltd., Weyburn.
