Obituary, March 2010:
DESCHENES, Eva Margaret – 92, Halifax, passed away peacefully in her sleep at Arbourstone early on the morning of March 17, 2010.
Born in Halifax on September 30, 1917, to Elizabeth (Bradley) Jackson and Fredrick Jackson, baby Eva survived the Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917. In the wreckage of their home on Richmond Hill, she fell through the floor to the coal cellar and was rescued by her maternal Uncle Jack. Her mother Bess and siblings William and Eileen also survived. Eva's father Fredrick, who worked in the railyards, would have been immediately in front of the site of impact and he perished in the disaster. Eva was a beloved mother, aunt, grandmother and great-grandmother with a quick sense of humour and great sense of fun and adventure. A spirited, generous and loving person, her memory and legacy will live on in all of us.
Eva was predeceased by her former husband Jean Leon Deschenes; brothers William and Leo; sisters Eileen, Mary and Kathleen; grandsons Michael MacLeod and Timothy (Sharon) MacLeod.
She is survived by daughter Elizabeth (Ivor) MacLeod and son Marcel Deschenes all of Halifax; sister Agatha Bright of Orangeville Ontario; granddaughters Leslie (Hal Thompson) MacLeod of Halifax and Yolande Descehenes and Bernadette Deschenes of Ontario; granddaughter-in-law Sharon MacLeod; great-grandchildren Scott MacLeod, Benjamin Thompson and Madeline Thompson, all of Halifax. Eva was a loving aunt to several nieces and nephews and surviving her are George (Nancy) Ferguson and Claire Riley, of Halifax; Kathleen (Robert) Kettle of Sarnia, Ontario; Michael Bright, Orangeville, Ontario; Stephen (Robin) Bright, Toronto; and Sandi Bright, Orangeville, Ontario.
In August 2009 Eva took up residence on the 4th floor in Arborstone Enhanced Care Facility on the Purcell's Cove Road. She loved it there and was treated with care, love and dignity by the wonderful nurses and staff. The family extends our sincere thanks for their tremendous compassion and care of our beloved family member.
Visitation will be held at J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 3-5pm on Sunday, March 21, 2010 and a memorial service will be held at the funeral home chapel on Monday at 10am. Interment at Gate of Heaven Cemetary, Lower Sackville.1
