Meta Jabs (nee Florian) lived a long full life which started in Poland in a German-speaking village Feb. 2, 1932.
Born into a large family in Depression Era, she did farm work until becoming a war refugee as a young teenager. Eventually, after marrying Edmund Jabs in 1954, she emigrated to Canada. She worked hard to help build a home for her family which included her children Peter and Susanna. She affected many people with her smile and laughter. As an avid seamstress, she found joy in creating wedding dresses. Not to waste a moment, she crocheted and donated crafts to her church charity. The retirement years were divided between Florida in winter and the cottage in summer. Later in life she spent a long senescence mostly at Wesburn Manor until her health finally failed her February 7, 2023.
Rest in Peace.
