Obituary
Gweneth Gertrude Embree- We mourn the passing of our greatly loved Gweneth Embree (nee Jackson), in her 90th year at Ottawa on November 29, 2010. Born September 6, 1921 in Tidnish, she was the daughter of Ira and Della Jackson.
Gwennie grew up in Tidnish, NS, moving to Lorneville when she married Lester. Later, they moved to Riverview, NB, where they lived and worked for many years before retiring to their favourite place in the world, Lorneville. There they enjoyed over a decade together before Lester's death, enhanced by winters spent in Florida.
Gwennie is survived by her loving sister, Barbara Jackson, and beloved children, Donna Crabtree (Duart), Evelyn Torgerson, widowed, Byron Embree, Jackie Schulten (Carl) and Mary Livesey nee Dobson (Tom Savin), and her loving and admiring grandchildren, Gregory Dorey, Glynn Livesey (Rosemary), Darren Livesey (Sharon), Paul Crabtree (Carolyn), Robert Crabtree (Dorothy), Charlene Dorey Togerson (Brant), John Crabtree (Sandra), Lisa Embree, Susannah Crabtree (Jeremy), Emily Schulten (Garth), Julie Embree (Mark), Amelia Schulten and Dylan Embree. She was beloved Gramma Gwennie to her great grandchildren, Daniel Livesey, Adam and Christopher Torgerson, Derrick and Brandon Livesey, Madeleine and Hannah Crabtree, Duncan, Justin and Miranda Crabtree, Alison Schifano, Alexander and Andrew Crabtree, Claire and Luke Anglesey. She was loved and respected by her nieces and nephews and friends for many years. She was predeceased by her husband Lester Embree, her infant son, Roderick, and her brothers Raymond Jackson and Noel Jackson.
Gwennie was a wonderful role model to our family of unselfish love, fidelity, wit,industry,and resourcefulness. She never admitted defeat. She loved us all equally and was equally loved by all of us.
Friends and family are invited to a memorial service to celebrate Gwennie's life at the Lorneville United Church at 11 a.m. on August 6th, 2011. Interment of her ashes in the Lorneville Cemetery and a reception at the church will follow.
Friends who wish to make a charitable gift in Gwennie's memory may donate to the Lorneville United Church or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
