Brenda Jardine 1949-2018 The family of Brenda (Millie) Jardine of Nackawic, NB, sadly announce her peaceful passing on August 17, 2018 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital in Fredericton, NB. Brenda, a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother, passed away as she had lived, quietly and privately in the presence of her husband and children. Brenda was born in Bath, NB on October 3, 1949, the tenth child of John and Beatrice (Foreman) Millie. She attended school in Bath, NB, graduating from Bath Regional High School, before going on to Teacher’s College in 1967. She married Darryl Jardine of Newcastle, NB in 1970. Brenda was passionate about her family - it was always the central focus of her life and she loved nothing more than having everybody together for one of her signature meals. In addition to her husband and children, her five grandchildren were her great loves. They will surely miss her ‘Grandma rolls’, chocolate chip cookies, story times, sleep overs and having her sing them songs. They all loved their grandma dearly, she was a very special presence in all of their lives. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Darryl Jardine; her children, Jeffrey (Natalie) of Fredericton, NB, Tim (Katherine) of Rothesay, NB and Shannon (Nick) of Beechville, NS; five grandchildren, Ryan, Halle, Mallory, Thomas and Meghan; two sisters, Ena and Anne and brothers Larry (Carol) and Ted (Dot). Brenda was predeceased by her parents, her brothers, Irvine and Don and sisters Grace, Gwen and Sheila. Brenda had superior strength and sense of conviction, qualities that she brought to her teaching career that spanned over 35 years. Her career focused on elementary school and junior high school students, teaching in Bath, Saint John, Nackawic, Millville, Canterbury and Keswick Valley; it was hard for her to go anywhere in southwestern New Brunswick without running into somebody she taught. She also worked as a literary supervisor at School District 28 in Woodstock. Brenda retired from teaching in 2004 but remained on hand to supply teach for several years. She was a natural teacher, meeting the needs of all the children she taught. Her students loved her and affectionately called her ‘Mrs. J’. Brenda was always cognizant of those less fortunate and provided many pairs of sneakers, winter jackets and meals for children in need; she always had a spot for children. Additionally, Brenda was a mentor to many fledging teachers. She would naturally take them under her wing and support and guide them through their early teaching years in the classroom. Brenda was a member of the Kirk United Church in Nackawic, NB where she taught Sunday School and prepared and served countless meals for Senior Dinner day. Although there will be no visitation, friends are welcome to attend a funeral service to be held at Kirk United Church, 29 Landegger Drive, Nackawic, NB on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at 2 pm with Alice Finnamore officiating. A reception will follow in the church hall. Pallbearers will be Ruth Giberson, Anne Wilson, Sally Richards, Melanie Dingee and Carol Millie. In lieu of flowers, Brenda has suggested that donations in her memory be made to the Kirk United Church, Nackawic Elementary School (Breakfast Program) or Nackawic Middle School (Breakfast Program). Arrangements by Flewelling Funeral Home, Nackawic, NB.
