We remember with joy the long and well lived life of Pauline (Jamsek) Feit. She went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, Mar. 19, 2009.
Born in Radece, Slovania, Jan. 21, 1920, she was a daughter of the late Frank and Mary (Lorty) Jamsek.
Pauline moved at the age of one with her family to France, where she lived for seven years. She came to Canada with her mother Mary, sisters Mary, Frances and Annie in 1928, arriving at Pier 21 in Halifax on the Red Star Liner ‘Pennland’, where the family met with their father (and husband), Frank Jamsek. Frank had come to Canada earlier to find work and set up his residence. Settling in River Ryan, Pauline married Jospeh Fiet who worked as a coal miner.
She was a member of the Parish of St. Leonard, St. Michael Church, River Ryan. Pauline worked for a number of years at Bayside Canteen where her friendliness and warm smile is still remembered. Together Joe and Pauline raised two sons, Frank (Shirley), Notre Dame, N.B., and Michael (Donna), with whom she resided for the past 29 years.
Pauline is survived by sons, Frank and Michael; beloved grandchildren, Denna (Dave) Clark, Chapin (Kim) Feit, Aaron Feit, Keenan Feit and Michael Feit; cherished great-grandchildren, Matthew, Brendon, Dylan, Emily, Michael Thomas and Aiden; many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
Pauline was predeceased by her husband Joseph, sisters, Mary, Frances, and Annie.
