It is with great sadness that the family of Josephine Jessome-Beer announces her sudden passing, peacefully at home in Orillia at the age of 74. A mother second to none, she will be forever missed by her son Donald Beer, her daughter Diana Beer, and her granddaughters Jade Beer and Taylor Beer. She has gone to join her parents John Joseph Jessome, Amelia Blagdon-Jessome, stepmother Marie MacKinnon-Jessome and brother John Joseph Jr. "Coke" Jessome of Nova Scotia. She will be lovingly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, friends, and her siblings, Millie Dixon (predeceased Eugene), Linda (Leonard) Gouthro, Teresa (predeceased Thomas) MacIntyre, Bernard (Patricia) MacKinnon, Mona (Michael) Smooke, Mary (predeceased Lorne) Bungay and Gerard (Kim) Jessome. Upon her wishes there will be no memorial service and she will be returning to her home of Cape Breton. As an ardent animal lover, any donations to the OSPCA would be greatly appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to the Mundell Funeral Home, 79 West St., N., Orillia.
