Jean MacMaster Cooke RN
Date de décès : 2 mai 2008
Garland, Tex. With much love and joy for a life well-lived, we regret to announce the peaceful passing of our sister on Friday, May 2, 2008. Jean was born in New Waterford, N.S., in 1936, the daughter of the late Duncan R. and Mary (Currie) MacMaster. A graduate of St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, Glace Bay, N.S., Jean’s 44-year career in the field of mental health services began at the Cape Breton Mental Hospital and later brought her to California and finally to many happy years in Texas. Jean’s dedication, warmth and genuine concern for others were always accompanied by her contagious sense of humour. Jean is survived by her loving family, daughter, Gwendolyn; sons, Christopher and John B.; as well as two grandsons, Matthew and Christopher; brothers, Erwin (Theresa), Alonzo (Lorraine), Gordon (Pauline); sisters, Agatha (Clifford) Piper, Perpetua ‘Petch’ MacMaster, Edithanne (Peter) Calder and Carolee (Wayne) Yorke and numerous nieces and nephews. The family wishes to acknowledge Jean’s lifelong friendship with Judy MacMullin. She was predeceased by her husband, Clifton, sisters, Catherine (Patrick) McIsaac and Laura (Allan) MacLean and brothers, Russell (Helina), Carl and Duncan (Pamela). A memorial service will be announced at a later date. Donations can be made to the Help Line or Loaves and Fishes.
