Obituary of Ida Justason

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Ida Marie Justason announce her passing on Saturday, March 23, 2019 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Ida was born in Black’s Harbour, NB to James John and Delia (Gauthier) Daigle on December 14, 1928. In addition to her parents, Ida was predeceased by her husband, Reginald and young son, Lewis; sisters, Hilda and Geraldine; brothers, Raymond, Joseph R., Gerald, Joe “Sonny” and Leonard Daigle. Ida leaves behind her two son, Ross and Donald (Linda); five grandchildren, Joey and Sally Justason, Mindi Jackart, Melissa and Breanne Justason; her brother, Allan remains to mourn her passing too; nieces and nephews, especially Debbie MacPherson and Joanne Duplessis, who were like daughters will feel the loss. Ida was blessed with five great-grandchildren, Alyssa and Holly Jackart, Jacob and Nathan Toner and Bryce Jewett, she enjoyed their visits immensely. After marrying Reg, they were stationed in Germany with the Canadian Army. While they were very young when they were deployed, they often spoke of the good old times they had. Upon returning to Canada they were stationed at Base Gagetown, Oromocto. Reg eventually left the army and settled the family in Marysville, where both Reg and Ida worked in the Cotton Mill. They made many lasting friends. Reg died very early leaving Ida without a partner for 40 years; Ross (her son) lived with his mom and took great care of her for all these years. Ida was a woman of deep Catholic faith. She would often be teased about wearing out the rosary for all those she prayed for which included her family, friends, people in the news and those she knew were suffering. The family cannot express enough gratitude to the staff at Eden Village Nursing Home and the staff of 4SW who cared for her these past months. All the priests that made weekly visits for many years gave Ida great comfort and friendship. Ida loved her ‘Doctor Wiley’! She always felt well cared for by Doctor Wiley. There will be a private burial in Black’s Harbour, NB at a later date. For those who wish, remembrances may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
