Born March 10, 1921 as Edna Mae Cobb, she was a daughter, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, great grandmother and a great great grandmother, but most knew her simply as Nannie, I am honoured to say a few words about Nannie today. She was a loving woman who enjoyed the company of her friends, and family. When I think of Nannie the following words come to mind - family, friends, church, and strength, She was a mother of four and family meant a lot to her, this showed in her commitment to her children and her children's' families. Always willing to help, and share in their lives. She was the corner stone of the family, always the center of any family gathering including Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. Family gatherings and meals were always important and she will be remembered for her cooking and baking skills especially her chocolate chip cookies. She was also quite the card player. I am sure many of us in this room today have sat around her kitchen table playing a game of 500, or canasta, or most common cribbage. I am sure I speak for many of the grandchildren that we were taught the game of crib by her and our grandfather and have played countless games with them. She was a hard worker within the church, this church, St. John's "she was married here, her children baptized here, many of them married here and some of her grandchildren baptized and married here as well. And yes even some of her great grandchildren baptized here also… she had many friends here at St. John's and the fellowship and faith served her well. As so much of her life and faith has existed here at the church it is only appropriate that we her friends and family gather here today to share in her memory. She was member, a volunteer as treasurer, a choir member and an ACW member. Nanny was a strong women, she showed this thru her ability to fight for life and thru her faith. She fought against breast cancer and survived, she lost loved ones and kept her faith, she fell and broke bones, and battled back to health. She was diabetic and maintained a balanced diet to stay healthy. Yes a strong woman, I was once visiting nanny at the Davey home and she seemed to be in discomfort and pain, I asked her if she could have Tylenol or something to help ease the pain, she wasn't sure if she could have one or not, so on my way out I stopped at the nurses' desk and asked if she could have some Tylenol as she was in a bit of pain, only for the nurse to tell me "yes absolutely she can", however when we ask her she declines. Yes Nannie was strong and maybe a bit stubborn, maybe a family trait for some us". We as a family have been very blessed to have had Edna, our Nannie in our lives, our spouses lives and even our children's lives for many years. Over the years she grew tired and on April 24th it was time to stop fighting and time to rest. I will share with you a reading called Safely Home. "I am home in heaven, dear ones. Oh so happy and so bright! There is a perfect joy & beauty in the everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed. I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last. There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand. Do it now while life remaineth. You shall rest in God's own land. When the work is all completed He will gently call you home. Oh the rapture of that meeting. Oh the joy to see you come." Nannie lived her life to the fullest, and although we will miss her dearly, lets celebrate her life. Lets share our memories and make sure that her spirit lives on in all of us. The Broken chain by Ron Tranmer - "We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again." Thank you Nannie for showing us strength and faith. We love you!
