It is with profound sadness that the family of
Janice Elaine Ferdinand of Sackville,
NB, announce her unexpected passing on January 7, 2023 at
the age of 69. Jan was the daughter of the late Willis and
Frances (Langille) Ferdinand.
Jan was a lifelong employee of the Royal Bank and
retired as manager in Guysborough, NS. Despite being a proud
Nova Scotianer, upon retirement she moved to Sackville, NB, where she
became an active member of the Main Street Baptist
Church. Her keen interest in quilting developed
during retirement and resulted in many beautiful works of
art. Jan was a lover of animals and could never pass by a
dog or cat without stopping to make friends.
Jan moved many times during her RBC career and
developed wonderful friendships in each community.
The pride and joy of her life was her loving son,
Craig Ferdinand (Jesykah Kelly) of Centreville, NS, who will miss her
dearly.
Also left to mourn her passing are sisters, Nancy
(Raymond) LeBlanc, Moncton, and Kathryn (Ivan) Illsley, Sackville, and
brothers, Bob (Naomi) Ferdinand, Amherst, Glenn (Heather) Ferdinand,
Upper Vaughn, NS, Stephen (Joanne) Ferdinand, Wentworth, NS, George
(Judy) Ferdinand, Oxford Junction, NS, and Greg (Sandi) Bell, Bible
Hill, NS. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by
her sister and sister-in-law Patricia Ferdinand and Marjorie
Bendell.
Jan is also survived by several aunts and uncles,
numerous cousins and many nieces and nephews.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of
