With great sadness, we, the family of Pearl Catherine (Jobes) Devoe, announce her passing on Thursday, January 12, 2012, at the Northside Community Guest Home.
Born in Florence, Pearl was the daughter of the late John T. and Winnifred (Johnson) Jobes. She was a lifetime member of St. Stephen's Parish in Florence. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
She enjoyed Bingo, dancing, listening to music, often breaking out in song, and playing cards. She also enjoyed the outdoors, and could often be found picking berries in the summer.
Pearl is survived by her chosen children; son John Elmer (Maureen), Millville; daughters Mary (Mae) Penny, Sydney Mines, Rosalie Bragg, Alberta, Irene (Robert) Bradley, Florence, 9 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents, Pearl was predeceased by her husband Elmer Devoe; chosen son Melvin; chosen daughters Winnifred and Brenda MacLellan; special niece Rogene McGean; brothers James, John T., Richard, Alphonse and Philip; and sisters Theresa, Mary, Hannah and Winnifred.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation. A Mass celebrating her life will be held on Monday, January 16, 2012, at 10 a.m., in St. Stephen's Church, Florence, with Fr. Thomas John officiating. A reception will take place in the parish hall, after the service.
