Florence Janet MacKenzie
1917 - 2001
On April 7th, 2001, Florence Janet McKenzie, of Amherst, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully at her home in Fredericton, NB with her family at her side. Born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, on March 16th, 1917, Janet, as she was always known, graduated with her RN from the Montreal General Hospital in 1940. Enlisting in the RCAF, she would serve as a nursing sister during the early years of the war in Bourmouth, England. On her return from England, she met and in 1943 married a young pilot from the Gaspe Peninsula named Robert MacKenzie. From this marriage, which would last until his death in 1988, two girls, Janet and Shelagh, would be both born, both of whom would eventually serve in the healthcare field. Following her husband death, Janet realized a longstanding dream when at the age of 72 she would return as it were to her roots, supervising the construction of her own log cottage on the Amherst Shore. It would be from this cottage that she would take much delight in watching her daughters and their families share the warm Nova Scotia summers with her. Four grandchildren would treasure priceless memories of these summers spent growing up at “Grannie’s cottage”, eventually bringing two great grandchildren to this special place to begin this precious cycle again. Janet will be remembered by more than her own family as she would influence many through her own deepening trust in Jesus Christ. This faith would last until 8:00 PM on April 7th, 2001, when she would peacefully and with great expectation pass from this world into the loving arms of her Savior and His eternal care. Janet leaves behind her two daughters and their husbands, Janet and Keith McMullin and Shelagh and Bob Wilkinson. also left behind are four grandchildren, Kellie and Jaime McMillin, (and Jaime’s wife Alisha), Sean and David Wilkinson, (and David’s wife Erica), along with two great grandchildren, Isaiah Wilkinson and Zackery McMullin.
