Landry, Jane, age 69 of Dartmouth, NS, passed away on February 19, 2024, in the Halifax Infirmary.

Born in Edmonton, she was a daughter of the late Hugh and Carmel (DeCoste) Landry.

Jane lived at the Caring Nest Small Options Home for 27 years where she received exceptional care from the past and present owners and all the staff.  They took Jane on many trips and outings.  Jane loved to sing to Velvet and Mary Sue, her longtime roommates, every morning.  She also knitted slippers and dish cloths, plus she made a painting for every staff member.  She was a member of the New Beginnings Program until her retirement.  She loved going on visits to see family members and enjoyed having visitors at her place.

Her hobbies included drawing, painting, reading, knitting, and crocheting.  She knew all the family’s birthdates by heart and would never miss sending them homemade birthday and Christmas cards.  She was in and out of the hospital quite frequently over the last three years and every time she made the doctor and nurses homemade cards, knitted dish cloths, or slippers.  She was a very devoted Catholic.

Surviving are her sisters, Debra, Calgary; Rose Marie, St. Peter’s, and Michelle, Truro; and brother, Roderick, Antigonish.  She was predeceased by her brother, Joseph.

Thanks to the doctors and nurses that looked after Jane her whole life and while she recently stayed at the Halifax Infirmary and the Abbey Jane Lane.  Thank you to Dr. Krueger-Naug, the Palliative Medicine Doctor at the VG, and her team; to Dr. Laura Downing, Jane’s family doctor; and to whoever might have been forgotten.  We would especially like to thank Jennifer Purcell and all the staff at the Caring Nest Small Options Home for their compassionate care and patience with Jane. They went above and beyond their call of duty.

Visitation will be held Thursday in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish, from 11:00am until the time of the funeral.  Funeral Mass will be held Thursday in St. Ninian Cathedral at 1:00pm with Reverend Donald MacGillivray presiding.  Burial in St. Peter’s Cemetery, Tracadie, in the spring.

Family flowers only, please.  In Memoriam, donations to Hope for Mental Health Society appreciated.  Online condolences: www.clcurry.com
