| Bergeron | Mary Jessie Bergeron | Mary Jessie Bergeron, 1916 - 2000 Mary Jessie Bergeron, better known as Jessie Bergeron, resident of Dawson Creek, British Columbia, passed away in Dawson Creek, on September 24, 2000 at 83 years of age. A funeral service was held at 10 a.m. on September 29, 2000 at the Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church, Dawson Creek, with Father Chris Lynch officiating. Interment followed at the Dawson Creek City Cemetery. Jessie was born in a small village called South West Margaree, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia on October 23, 1916. She was the youngest of six children. Her parents, Isabella and John Allan MacLellan were also born in Cape Breton; her grandparents originated from Scotland. Her parents were farmers who operated what was referred to as a "mixed farm". Jessie loved to help out with caring for the animals and other farm-related work. Perhaps this explains her love for the outdoors and nature. She attended a one-room country school called "Captain Allan's" where one teacher was responsible for all the children. Jessie enjoyed school and felt that she always had good teachers, one of whom was her brother Malcolm. As for employment, she described herself as "a Cook of all trades". Her first job was in New York, working as a domestic. She left this job to return to work on her parents' farm. During WWII, she moved to Montreal where she worked at General Electric, as an inspector in a factory that manufactured airplane parts. She then worked as a waitress in Montreal. She first arrived in Dawson Creek - on April 5, 1945, the year WWII ended. She came to see her brother Angus and her Uncle Pete who were living "out west". She had traveled on the Harvest train from Montreal to Pouce Coupe and Angus was there to pick her up at the train station in Pouce Coupe. Angus had brought along a friend, Bob Bergeron, whom was the man she eventually married; he was the first man that she had met upon arriving in the West! Jessie and Bob soon became friends and got to know each other well when they worked together at the local West End Grocery store. They fell in love and were married on October 15, 1947. Jessie continued to work in the store until she became pregnant with her first child. Unfortunately this baby, Joseph, died at birth. She proceeded to give birth to eight more healthy children; Theresa, John, Bob, Ron, Gerry, Marie, Ken and Aimie. Raising eight children was a challenge that most would shy away from today, but she said more than once that she would do it all over again if given a second chance. Having raised eight children, it is not surprising that she thought that the washing machine followed by the dryer were the two greatest inventions during her time. She was a very special woman who touched the hearts of so many. She shared many gifts, the most precious being her ability to make each one feel special. In addition to her family and friends, she had many other loves and interests. Gardening was one of her greatest passions and even at age 83 she managed to produce the most beautiful flower gardens. Being of Scottish origin, Jessie loved hearing the sound of the bagpipes; whenever she heard the pipes on television all activities in the house came to a stop so that she could listen. But of all her loves, her love of God was perhaps her strongest. She had a very strong faith and deep devotion to God. Prayer was her comfort and was what helped her through challenging times. Jessie was predeceased by her parents, her four brothers, John A, Jim, Malcom and Angus, and an infant son, Joseph. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Bob; her children, Theresa (Clarence) Wastle, John Bergeron (Heather Martin), Bob (Cheryl) Bergeron, Ron Bergeron, Gerry (Peggy) Bergeron, Marie Bergeron (Hartmut von Gaza), Ken (Lorelee) Bergeron, and Aimie (Nick) Rowe; her grandchildren, Karen Schultz, Mark and Michael Jones, Christal Wastle, Conlan and Sarah Bergeron, Rick, Jason and Shylo Bergeron, Sabrina and Anna Bergeron, Kiefer von Gaza, Cody and Isaiah Bergeron; her great-grandchildren, Andrew and Jessica Shultz; her sister, Tena MacLellan, numerous sister-in-laws, one brother-in-law as well as many nieces and nephews and friends. Funeral Arrangements were entrusted to Bergeron Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Dawson Creek, B.C. | 24/09/2000 | |||||

He came into this life in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, proud first son of the late Antonio DiPaolo and Catherine (Williams). He moved to Minto in 1933 where he followed his father in the mines where he worked until the outbreak of the war in 1939. Enlisted in the Carleton and York regiment, the 7th of September 1939, he attained the rank of A/CSN. As an instructor, he provided young New Brunswick infantry recruits with the skills needed for their survival. In 1944 he returned home to his family and to resume mining. He was devoted to people, his gentle character and strong determinations led him down many varied paths: a salesman, and a Commissionaire at the Grand Lake Provincial Park. He elevated the spirits of those of the Holy Rosary Parish and those of the sick in the Minto Hospital. He loved the woods and spent much time replanting trees for the Department of Natural Resources. A regular member of Branch 12 of the Royal Canadian Legion, and an Honorary Member of the Knights of Columbus, Father Dysart Council No. 3502, he was a devout member of the Holy Rosary Church in Minto, New Brunswick. Our strong and gentle father (forte e gentile) was proud of his Italian and Scottish heritage. His paternal ancestry, from Brittolli (Province of Pescara) Abruzzo, Italy was reflected in his love of gardening and landscaping. His maternal ancestry from Ingonish, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia instilled in him a love of hunting and fishing and the gift of story telling. True to the Cape Breton tradition he entertained friends and family members with countless tales of his fascinating and humourous life encounters. He leaves behind his loving wife of 59 years, Frances (Rouse) DiPaolo of Minto, NB; two daughters, Linda Caron (Gerald) of Grand Bay-Westfield, NB and Paulette St. Germain (Ken) of Blissfield, NB; two sons, Tony DiPaolo (Francine) of Allison, NB and Randy DiPaolo (Joyce) of St. Stephen, NB; eight grandchildren, Todd (Terri), Adam, Emily, Anna, John, James DiPaolo, Craig and Stephen Hambrook (Tina); and a great granddaughter Cameron Rain Hambrook; a sister Mary (DiPaolo) Allega of Burlington, ON; several nieces and nephews. Russell follows his predeceased parents, brother William DiPaolo and sister Virginia (Jean) Tyler. He rested at the Minto Funeral Home, where on the 5th of April he was ceremoniously honored by his former comrades, members of the Royal Canadian Legion and Father Peter Stephen. His life and spirit was celebrated in a mass of Christian Burial conducted by Father Peter Stephen at the Holy Rosary Church in Minto, NB. Musical inspiration was offered by Joey Knight.
