McCULLOUGH, Jessie Jeannette (nee LANGFORD) - 1931 - 2018 We sadly announce that our beloved Jessie went home to heaven quite suddenly and painlessly on Tuesday afternoon, September 11, 2018.
She had suffered from dementia for five years, but otherwise was healthy. Her husband of 64 years, Fred, son Tom (Karen), grandchildren Kate and Ben (Miranda Crocket) and sisters Marie Wilson and Isabel (Ray) Unger will miss her dearly.
Born and raised in Ottawa, Jessie studied to be a teacher and taught kindergarten with the then Toronto Board of Education. As a young mother, she led neighbourhood children's programs with CEF Ontario and trained other leaders.
She instilled a sense of "can do" fun and adventure in her grandchildren and demonstrated to them and everyone a life of humble and sincere faith and service in God. Jessie and Fred were as close as a couple could be. They had good friends and a close family and, together, were a blessing to many people over the years. Six years ago, they moved into the Village of Humber Heights retirement home, where they have experienced the love and admiration of staff and residents alike.
The staff of the Memory Care neighbourhood have been especially remarkable in their tireless care and dignity shown to Jessie and Fred. The family is very grateful for this indeed.
A service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 4th at Bloor West Village Baptist Church (293 South Kingsway, Toronto.
