Obituary of Glennis Joyce Thelma Wentzell

Glennis Joyce Thelma Wentzell (Sperry) It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Glennis Joyce Thelma Sperry Wentzell, of West Northfield, on October 19, 2014 in her 91st year, at her home with her daughters by her side. Formerly of Charlie Hill Road, Farmington, she is the last surviving member of her immediate family. Glennis was the daughter of the late William Lewis and Annie Elizabeth (Hubley) Sperry, Charlie Hill Road, Farmington. Mom loved life, loved people and loved to laugh. She started her working career in Kingston, at the Maple Inn where she met many wonderful life-long friends and lived life during war times and knew the hardships and the meaning of a dollar. It was working in the Railway Restaurant, in Bridgewater, that she met Melvin, and moved to the farm in West Northfield, where she helped with the gardens, loved her crafts, and raised her family. Life wasn’t always kind, with the loss of their son, and many health issues over the years she had a strong constitution and after losing dad in 1996 she carried on until her passing in the family home. Nanny Wentzell is known world-wide for her Nanny Puffs, with one going to Korea most recently, but being enjoyed in the UK and Australia, as well as “special people” here at home. Surviving are her daughters; Barbara Anne Bezanson, Lower Sackville; Elizabeth Joy Crossland, West Northfield ; son in laws whom she treasured, Frank and Gary; grandchildren, Angela Lee Bezanson (Edmund Malone), Kingston Road, PEI; Craig Alan Bezanson, Bridgewater; Joseph George Crossland (Katelin); Marysville, NB; Jonathan Gary Crossland (Erin); New Maryland, NB; great granddaughters, Leila Catherine Anne Malone, Deanna Lee Malone; Hadley Yves Glennis Crossland; nieces and nephews, friends and neighbours. Glennis was predeceased by husband, Melvin Freeman; son, William Albert (5 years of age); sisters, Marie Nelson, Bessie Silver, Roxy Eisnor, Helen Wentzell, Kathleen Sperry; brothers, Charles and Douglas. Funeral will be 11 a.m., Tuesday, October 21, with visitation preceding the funeral at 10 a.m., in Sweeny’s Funeral Chapel, Bridgewater, Rev. Catharine House officiating with interment following at Maple Grove Cemetery, West Northfield.
