1973-2019

Jennifer Lynn Levy

Jennifer Lynn (Millett) Levy – 46, of Canaan, Kings County, passed peacefully into the arms of her Savior Thursday, June 20, 2019 in the QEII Health Sciences Centre, VG Site, Halifax, after a short, but intense period of illness. Born in Kentville, she was the daughter of Leslie B. and Carol (McGray) Millett, Canaan, formerly of New Minas. Jennifer’s faith was always her top priority. This was so evident by how deeply she cared. She loved big and she loved wide. Jenn loved art. She had so many uncompleted projects and a room full of craft supplies, ready to start more, but she ran out of time. She loved the ocean, cottage time, and trying to capture a beautiful sunset. Jenn loved people. Everyone came before she did. She intentionally connected with people wherever she went; from her time at Atlantic Baptist College, Acadia Divinity College, Kingswood Camp, Falmouth Baptist Church, and everywhere else along the way. Jenn always made a point to invest in authentic relationships such as that which she shared with her "adopted" daughter, Alyssa. While Jenn never had any children of her own, she helped to raise so many. Jennifer had many different occupations over the years but they always involved investing in people. She babysat, was a nanny, a day care worker and also worked in the family business. She spent two summers working in Grand Pré at an antique store before becoming the Executive Director at Kingswood Camp for 3 years. After that she was the Associate Pastor of Christian Education and Outreach at the Falmouth Baptist Church for 10 years before "retiring" to look after her parents. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her husband, Jonathan; her father and mother-in-law, David and Sheila Levy, Canaan; brother-in-law, Jason (Heather) Levy, New Minas; three nieces, Sarah (Brandon) MacGregor, Halifax; Meghan Levy, Halifax; Rebekah Levy, New Minas; as well as so many chosen aunts, uncles, sisters, sons, daughters, nieces and nephews that she loved so dearly. She was predeceased by both sets of grandparents, Perry and Hazel (Dakin) Millett and John and Muriel (Sargent) McGray; as well as her uncle, Louis Millett. Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, June 25, 2019 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. The funeral service, followed by a reception, will be held at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday, June 26, 2019 in the New Minas Baptist Church, Reverend Daniel Cormier officiating.

The family would like to thank the nursing staff and doctors of the 5A Oncology Unit at the VG for her comfort and care during her stay.
