Obituary of Janice Marie Kierstead

It is with great sadness that the family of Janice (Height) Kierstead announces her passing on October 17, 2021. Born April 26, 1952 in Hill Grove, Nova Scotia, Janice met her soulmate Brian at Acadia University and dedicated her life to helping others. As a mother, grandmother, aunt, teacher, tutor, and volunteer, she loved and inspired everyone she met with her faith, kindness, patience, and gentle spirit. Her guiding lights were her constant faith in Jesus and the question “how will the world be a better place because I was in it”. Janice is survived by her husband Brian, son Kevin (Mai-Liss), daughter Karin (Ryan Fletcher), granddaughter Allie Fletcher, step-grandchildren Joshua, Jade Trent and Jateena Richards, brother Hazen (Elaine) Height, sisters Patsy (John) Lewis and Maxine (David) MacLean, and five nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be held at Kingston Baptist Church at a later date. Donations to the Alzheimer's Society or Zachary White Foundation are very appreciated.
