Born on September 7, 1926 in Aspy Bay, Victoria County, she was the daughter of the late Alex and Magdlean (MacNeil) MacIsaac. During her younger years, Jessie worked at various domestic service jobs throughout Cape Breton. She was an avid shuffleboard player, and a proud member of the Royal Canadian Branch 12 Legion. She and her husband Jack could be found on any summer evening relaxing on the Sydney Boardwalk. Jessie was most content while spending time at her family homestead in Northern Cape Breton.
Jessie is survived by her brother Donald (Bunny), and sisters Florence, Tena, and Susie. She is predeceased by her loving husband Jack MacPherson, sisters Margaret, Annie, Mary, and brothers Edward, John, Jim, Ronald and two infant brothers. She is survived by numerous nieces and nephews as well as many devoted, loyal friends whom she loved so dearly.
Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date at T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel, Sydney. Interment will be at St. Margaret's Parish Cemetery, Bay St. Lawrence on September 25, 2021 at 1pm. with Fr. Alphonsus Iwuji officiating.
