Jessie was born on October 15, 1917 in Winnipeg and at a young age moved to South Transcona where her family farmed. She moved to Park Manor in 1999. Everyone called her Aunt Jessie and she loved to be around people. Jessie was famous for her cream puffs at social events. She enjoyed her card games, bowling and crocheted many afghans. She enjoyed cooking and inviting people over for dinner. She spent many winters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and enjoyed the summers at her cottage at Lester Beach. She travelled to Hawaii and Poland with her mother. Jessie was a member of Jubilee Chapter Order of the Eastern Star. Our family would like to thank the staff at Park Manor Nursing Home for the wonderful care they gave looking after our Aunt Jessie during her last years.
