WORTH, JANE MARGARET (1949-2006) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jane Margaret Worth at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on October 10, 2006. Born in Saint John, Jane was the daughter of Stan and Marge Worth. A devoted nurse, Medical Director, daughter, wife, and mother, Jane will be missed by her parents, Stan & Marge Worth, her spouse Gary Crandlemire, son Mark Smissaert, daughter Kate Smissaert (Iain Macneil), brother Mark (Mary Dollimore), sister-in-law Shirley Cochran, niece Natalie Worth, and nephew Max Denton. She was predeceased by her brother John. Jane had an extensive career as a nurse. Following graduation from UNB in 1970 (B.N.,R.N.), she began her career as a staff nurse at the Victoria Public Hospital. Soon after, she moved to Scarborough Ontario, and began work as a staff nurse in the Coronary Care Unit at the Scarborough General Hospital. In 1972, she returned to Fredericton to become head nurse in the Intensive Care Unit at the Victoria Public Hospital. In 1975, Jane joined the ranks at UNB in the Department of Staff Education and Student Counselling. Always looking for a new challenge, with the opening of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in 1976, Jane became an administrative co-ordinator, responsible for coronary care and medicine. A move to Saint John in 1984 saw her assume the position of Co-ordinator of the Extra Mural Program in that region. Upon returning to Fredericton and the DECRH in 1990, Jane was employed in Quality Management for Region III. With a move downtown to the Dept. of Health in 1996, she became responsible for Risk Management and Quality Management for the province. A second move to Saint John in 2000, led her to the Atlantic Health Sciences Corporation where she became an administrative director for Oncology, Palliative Care, Ambulance, Emergency Services, and Family Medicine, a position which she held until ill health forced her to leave her much loved career and return to Fredericton to be a near family and friends. Wherever she was employed, Jane had a profound impact on her staff and co-workers alike. Always eager to pass on invaluable experience and lessons learned, Jane was a dedicated and skillful staff educator and developer, a sensitive and caring bedside nurse, and an insightful and competent administrator. Although her career brought her immense satisfaction, Jane's greatest pleasure in life was spending time with family and friends. A devoted daughter, she treasured time spent with her parents, whether it be an afternoon on the deck, a trip to the lake, or a tropical or European holiday. Being a mother however, brought a sense of pride and joy which could not be surpassed. Always there for her children, Jane remained a sensitive, supportive and caring mother. Despite her own struggles with breast cancer and all that ensues, Jane frequently made herself available to act as a resource and support to others who were experiencing similar challenges. Her wide circle of friends will remember her for her great sense of humor, intellect, determination, and her joie de vivre. Although this part of her journey is done, Jane's legacy will live on in the memories of all those who have been fortunate enough to have shared the life of this wonderful woman.
