PERRY-GORE (NEE RICHARDSON), Jane
1933 - 2025
Mrs. Jane Perry-Gore (nee Richardson) passed away peacefully on November 1, 2025, due to a stroke.
Jane was born in England on June 21, 1933, and was married to Reverend Cannon Keith Perry-Gore (deceased). She was sister to Bill, Ann (deceased), and Dorcas; mother of Alex (Cathy), Bridget (Vincent), and Clive (Nicole); grandmother to Kelli, Luke, Kaitlin, Renee, Sophie, Rachel, Jessica, Kevin, and Trevor; and great-grandmother to ten.
She spent her early childhood in the UK and Singapore then later attended university, where she studied food sciences. She married Keith, and after a few years they moved to Barbados where they raised their young family. In 1970, they moved to New Carlisle (Gaspé), and in 1973 made their final move to North Hatley, where she lived for 52 years.
Jane was dedicated to her family, friends, the church, and her community, remaining deeply engaged with all. She was actively involved in the community and attended a variety of groups such as yoga, Grace Ladies, and knitting. Jane knew the birthdates of every grandchild and great-grandchild and was deeply connected to all of them. In her eighties, she could be seen tobogganing with them on the North Hatley Golf Course, where she was also a keen golfer in the summer.
She was an avid gardener and produced a prolific amount of vegetables. In the last few years, she lived at The Connaught, where she tended a smaller community garden. With poles in hand, she walked daily regardless of the weather.
The funeral will be held on Saturday, November 8, at 10 a.m. at St. Barnabas Church in North Hatley. Please join us for refreshments afterward in the church basement.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to St. Barnabas Church, where she was a faithful member.

I still have memories of her and Ouida walking on the NH golf course, laughing and hitting their ball as straight as an arrow. She always participated in both our golf leagues and sometimes Keith would tag along for a meal with the ladies. She was most famous for winning the half and half draw. We will miss her sense of humour!

We will always remember Jane's talents with her golf game, the many games with her partner Kim, her organizational skills with the Tuesday's Ladies League (Dames de Coeur), her wit and great storytelling, and the incredible luck she had with winning the 1/2 & 1/2 at many of our golf events.
We will forever miss you, Jane.

I knew Mrs. Perry-Gore as a librarian, first at school and then in the North Hatley library, as a faithful volunteer. We shared a love of books, reading, and village life.
Deepest sympathies to the family.
I was very fortunate to grow up in the Perry-Gore family, with Alex, Bridget and Clive and Trapper too.Keith and Mum treated me like a member of the family. I was fortunate to see Mum last year. I will miss her. God Bless. Kelly
I was so sorry to hear about Jane. I guess I thought she would just go on and on. She was so vibrant and engaged. We had a nice lunch and chat in September before I went back to Montreal. I would not have thought it would be the last time I would see her. I will miss her dreadfully. She was an inspiration for ageing well. My condolences to the family. She loved you all so much and shared your activities. I felt I knew you all. Again, accept my condolences. She leaves a big hole for everyone.

Dear Alexander, Bridget and Clive
Charles (husband) and I were very sorry to hear that Jane had died. She had a long and happy life so I hope that the end was peaceful.
I was her cousin and am younger sister to John and Richard Rimington. John had a particular link with your family being godfather to Alex and also stayed in touch with Jane and Keith, particularly when he and Nell lived in Washington in the 1980s.
My claim to fame is that I was one of Jane and Keith's bridesmaids when they got married. I was about 10 or 11 but have never forgotten it. I enjoyed seeing Jane and Keith when they visited UK and will miss that link very much.
My condolences to you and the extended family.
Love from
Buffy (Elizabeth) Freeman
