JACK, Lillian Gertrude — 95 of Halifax, passed away Tuesday, April 6, 2010, in Ocean View Manor, Eastern Passage. Born in Spanish Ship Bay, Guysborough Co., she was the daughter of Frank Jack and Lydia (McKinley) Jack Gaskell and step-father Arnold Gaskill. She was a domestic housekeeper and caregiver for many years.

She was an excellent cook and catered many large gatherings through the years and has always been commended on her resourcefulness. As a devote animal lover, she was dedicated to the many pets she had over time. We all knew her as a compassionate, caring and giving person.

She is survived by sons, Franklyn (Gail) Jack, Liverpool; Steven (Barbara) Jack, Enfield; 5 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and two step-great grandchildren. She was predeceased by granddaughter, Krystal Myrna Jack , and daughter-in-law, Wanda (Mrs. Frank Jack). Family flowers only. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ocean View Manor Society.
