Crawford, Jane Melanie – It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Jane Melanie Crawford on May 24, 2026, in Colchester East Hants Heath Centre, following a long and courageous battle with liver cirrhosis. Jane is predeceased by her beloved husband, Dennis Crawford, whom she loved so dearly. Survived by her parents, Mary-Lou and Ross Higgins. She is lovingly remembered by her brothers, Mike (Janet) and Glen (Sheila); along with many nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart. Of course, she will be missed by faithful companion, Eddie Boy. Above all else, Jane’s greatest pride and joy was her family. Her boys meant everything to her. She leaves behind her four beloved sons, Kyle (Kate), Adam (Jessie), Bret (Claire), and Trevor, who were the center of her world. She was an incredibly proud grandmother to Madalynn, Baylie, Georgia, Zoey, Hazel, Cole, Audrey, Floyd, and Olivia, each of whom brought immeasurable happiness and purpose to her life. Nothing lit up Jane more than time spent with her children and grandchildren, creating memories that will be cherished forever. There was truly no one quite like Jane. To know her was to experience kindness in its purest form. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome, cared for, and important. Her generosity knew no limits, and she gave so much of herself to the people she loved without ever expecting anything in return. Jane carried herself with quiet strength, grace, and compassion, even through life’s hardest moments. Jane dedicated many years of her life to Sobeys where, through her hard work and determination, worked her way into a management role. Along the way, she formed many lifelong friendships and became someone coworkers could always depend on. Her warmth, sense of humour, and caring nature left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Some of the most treasured memories of Jane were made in her kitchen. Whether she was baking along side her grandchildren, preparing a family meal, or creating one of her beautiful birthday cakes, she had a way of making ordinary moments feel special. Her home was a place of comfort, laughter, and unconditional love. Jane always made room for others, and no matter the circumstance, she could somehow find the brighter side of things. She was the person people turned to for comfort, advice, or simply a reassuring presence. Jane’s love was steady, selfless, and deeply felt by all who knew her. The loss of her leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled, but her love, lessons, and beautiful spirit will continue to live on through her family and all the lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.A Celebration of Life to honour both Jane and Dennis Crawford will be held in Nine Mile River Community Centre on Sunday, May 31 from 1pm-3pm. Welcome to all who know these two wonderful people. Memorial donations may be made to Liver Canada or a local dog rescue of your choice.
