Obituary of Jennifer A. Dickey

It is with overwhelming sadness that we share news of the passing of Jennifer Anne Dickey on December 22, 2016.  She was born to Stephen and Catherine (Cooper) Dickey on November 29, 1997 in Halifax. Jennifer attended school in Timberlea and graduated with honours from Sir John A. MacDonald High School in 2015.  She was currently enrolled at Dalhousie University in Commerce and a member of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority.  She aspired to be a lawyer focusing on international law, where her intelligence and dedication would no doubt have led to great success. A kind and loving young woman with a vibrant smile that lit up the room, Jennifer was beautiful inside and out.  This past spring, Jennifer and her sister Ashley embarked on a month-long adventure through Europe.  With a budding passion for travel, it was a highlight of Jennifer’s young life surpassed only by the birth of her niece, Charlotte in April of this year.  The family all agrees that Charlotte looks just like Jennifer. Jennifer is survived by parents, Stephen and Catherine Dickey (Cooper); brother, Stephen (Loryn Gentle) Ottawa ON; sister, Ashley (David McIntyre); her most special niece, Charlotte Ann Dickey; grandparents, Wayne and Hazel Cooper (Obendorf), and E.
