Known to most as Nikita Drew. With heavy hearts and great sadness the family of Nikita announces, after almost a two year battle that began with a diagnosis of leukaemia, she passed away surrounded by her loved ones, at the Health Sciences Centre on Friday, December 3rd, 2021, at the age of 35, of Conne River.
Nikita leaves to mourn her loving family: common law partner and soon-to-be husband, Sid Bennett; daughter, Jamie Lee; baby boy, Malcolm; mother, Martha Drew; Dad, Ricky Jeddore; Father, Michael Drew; sisters, Natalie Mackey, Cheyenne Jeddore and Laura John; brother, Kelsy Jeddore; Nan, Loretta John; Granny, Betty Drew; Pop, Louis John; nephews, Jamal and Blair Benoit, Nathaniel and Jack; nieces, Brianna and Shelby; as well as a large circle of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Nikita is predeceased by her grandparents, Marion and Gilbert Jeddore, Jim Drew; great grandparents, Noel and Catherine Joe; uncles, aunts, and cousins.
If you ever had the opportunity or pleasure of meeting Nikita, you would know that her personality just glowed; people were just drawn to her because she had this personality that could connect with almost anyone. She had this way of connecting with people that in her passing it’s not only her family or friends that she has known all her life, are grieving. Through this very hard journey she has touched so many hearts and connected with so many people because that’s just Nikita! She loved, cared, was so friendly, so funny, so strong, so positive all the time. She loved laughing and was a wonderful mom, partner, sister and daughter and a loving care giver right up to her last days. She may not have super powers but she is so many people’s super hero!
Nikita’s wake will take place at her mother, Martha’s and father, Mike’s home.
Funeral Service was held at St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 at 2:00 pm with Father Patrick Ousji officiating.
