Her Aunt Christina McLeod also survives her and was able to visit Esther to offer love, support and prayers. She married John (Jack) Babcock on 24 May, 1951 in Brantford. Since that time, Esther focused on being a loving wife, and wonderful and caring mother. Esther was a full-time rink mother, sewed countless Cub, Scout and Cadet badges (always at the last moment) and treated many cuts and bruises. One of Esther's talents was always finding a way to share her love with all of her children. She is survived by her children Janet (Rick), Sandy (Sue), Tim (Kathy), Jim (Patti), Dan and Peter. Two of her sons, John and David, predeceased her. Esther was also the Grandmother of Jennifer, Kate, Ryan, Alisha (Donnie), Kristi, Brittany, Ashley, and Carole-Anne and the Great- grandmother of Mia. She'll be sadly missed by her large extended family scattered from coast to coast. Special thanks goes out to the kind and caring staff at Hamilton and Brantford General Hospitals, Doctors Stahlbrand and Madison, cousins Marilyn Dargie, Linda Cameron and Mary Lou Stoyanowsky, and especially niece Kim Baker and nephew Cameron MacLean. At Esther's request a private family funeral has taken place. Arrangements were entrusted to the BECKETT-GLAVES FAMILY FUNERAL CENTRE, 88 Brant Avenue, Brantford, Ontario. A wife, a mother and a coalminer's daughter. Gone but never forgotten.

Melvin was employed at National Sea Products early in his married life when he was involved in a horrific accident that injured his back and left him in a body cast for eight months. After a long recovery he returned to work, where he was a construction/labourer by trade. Melvin was employed by Atomic Energy where he worked at the Heavy Water Plant in Glace Bay. He continued in construction where he was employed by the Lingan Power Plant, Wreck Cove Power Plant, construction of the City Hospital Nurses' Residence. He spent a short time on the draggers alongside his oldest son, Jerry (Gerald). He loved to peddle fish and was most likely to be accompanied by one of four sons, and/or his son-in-law. Melvin was a strong man who made it his mission to provide a loving, stable life forhis wife and children. He was more concerned over the big things in life and didn't sweat the small stuff. Melvin was the son of the late William 'Bill' and Jean (Drover) Baggs. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Louise (Mailman) Baggs who stayed beside him for almost 44 years through all trials and tribulations; his oldest son, Jerry (Gerald), Halifax, a very special son who resides at home, Vincent 'ol buddy'; his only daughter, Lisa and son-in-law, Kenny Peters, Glace Bay, son, Albert and daughter-in-law, Shellon (Matheson), Sydney; son, Jason and daughter-inlaw, Terri (Koenig), Fredericton, N.B. Also surviving is Sheila (Peters) Bragg; a 'daughter' who joined our family dynamics and remained; good friends and in-laws, Wi l f, the 'Duck', Dorothy 'Dottie' and Hilda and Gerald Rudolph. Melvin (Papa Baggs) was a very lucky man to also be blessed with 10 grandchildren, Sylvia, Brian and Kyle Baggs, Hilary, Holly and Ryan Peters, Dylan and Logan Baggs, Karli and Nathan Baggs. They all loved their Papa very much. Allister, his only surviving brother, is one of loyalty and respect. Allister and his wife, Linda live in Ontario.

When I come to the end of the road, And the sun is set for me. I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that once we shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must make, And each must go alone, It’s all part of the Master’s plan. A step on the road to home. So when you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me Go! |
