Musselman, Janice
Rose – 66 It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic passing of a
wonderful wife, devoted mother and doting Nana on the 15th of March,
2015. Born in Dartmouth on the 4th of March, 1949, Jan enjoyed a
wonderful childhood on the shores of Lake Banook. She spent her early school
years at St. Peters, but it wasn’t until she went to Prince Andrew High School
that she blossomed and began a lifelong habit of volunteering for clubs,
committees and sports teams. During her professional career as an X-Ray
technologist, Jan continued her volunteer work serving on many professional
boards including a term as provincial chair for the National CAMRT conference
in the early 90’s in Halifax. In typical fashion, she organized the best
conference attended in years. Such was the case with high school reunions,
church committee’s or family celebrations at the camp on Porters Lake. She had
a joy for baking, entertaining and spoiling her grandchildren and was never one
to miss a function. An avid traveller, Jan enjoyed many vacations and
adventures over her life and was able to visit many corners of the Earth. Jan
was respected & loved as the supervisor of the X-Ray technologists at the
IWK Hospital. She will be missed by all of the people she worked with. Jan
leaves behind her husband of 26 years Keith, daughter Nikki Hilton (Mark
Vautour), sons Tim Hilton (Katie Hilton) & Bill Musselman (Gilann
Lafreniere), sisters Shirley Woodley (Jim) & Maureen Henley (Jim), brother
Paul Bellefontaine (Sherry), granddaughters Charlotte, Reese, Caroline &
Grace, grandson Emmett and many special nieces, nephews and friends. She was
pre-deceased by her parents Earle & Evelyn Bellefontaine (LaPierre),
brother Larry Bellefontaine (Leslie) & Nephew Robert Bellefontaine.
Visitation will be held at Woodlawn United Church, 54 Woodlawn Rd., Dartmouth on
Friday March 20th from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Funeral service will be held
at Woodlawn United Church at 11am on Saturday March 21st. Donations
can be made in her honour to Woodlawn United Church or the Heart & Stroke
Foundation. Condolences, words of comfort, and remembrances of Jan may be
