Obituary: IRVING P. JESTER, 1345 Tanglevine Drive, Rockwall, Texas, died , 24th, at Lakepointe Medical in Rowlett, TX. Mr. Jester was born to the late Frank H. and Ruth M. (Jackson) Jester on 17, 1938 in New Britain, Connecticut, and moved to the Berkshires as a boy. A longtime resident of Lanesborough, Pittsfield, and Dalton, he graduated from Pittsfield High School in 1958. Soon thereafter, he bought the Town Grocery store in Lanesborough, now the site of Ye Old Forge. While operating the grocery store, he came to know Alice M. Gough, who improbably ran out of butter at least once a day. He and his favorite customer married on 19, 1959. Mr. Jester then went to work for the Prudential Life Insurance , where he quickly worked his way up to sales manager. In 1974, he started an independent agency, Pierce-Hill Insurance, located on Elm Street in Pittsfield, which he ran with his son Mark until his retirement in 2005.
The same year, Irving and Alice left the Berkshires to proudly call Texas home. Upon his arrival, he started a successful online store, Penningtons Goods.
Irvs dry sense of humor and talent for tall tales left an impression on all who knew him. Among his favorite things he enjoyed with his family were spaghetti dinners, his wifes Yorkshire pudding, camping on Greylock, summering in Maine, and Willie Nelson. He was a loyal fan of the Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys. Anyone visiting Cowboy Stadium should be sure to look for his paving stone engraved with his favorite annual prediction, This year its going to be Miami and Dallas in the Superbowl! He also loved dogs, but none more than his faithful Scottie, Oliver, whose ashes will be interred with him. Like his father and uncle, Irv had a passion for cars. While he enjoyed many fine German examples, he was especially fond of classic Buicks of the 30s and 40s. The 1941 Buick Special convertible he owned as young man was his all-time favorite. You never forget the one that got away . . .
Irving and Alice were married for over 55 years, for which, Irv would often joke, Alice should receive a medal. When they married, everybody gave them six months, but together they exemplified a love, devotion, and humor whose legacy will endure in the hearts of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
In addition to his beloved Alice, Irving is survived by his five children: Mark Jester, and his wife Christine of Pittsfield, Kevin Jester, and his fiancée Lisa Fiorini-Puskey of Pittsfield, Bryan Jester and Karen Huxtable-Jester of Rowlett, TX, Dianne Jester (Wieland) of Northampton, MA, and Michelle Jester of Rennes, France. Uncle Irv was brother to Betty Gene Bridgham of Lenox, and Wanda Robinson of Lanesborough, and leaves five nieces and nephews. Irving is sorely missed by his eleven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, all of whom he taught to share his enthusiastic love of ice cream. Lastly, he is also survived by his two terriers. FUNERAL NOTICE: services for Irving P. Jester who died 24, 2014 will be held at 11:00 AM at the DERY FUNERAL HOME in Pittsfield conducted by the Rev. Sigmund Sadzinski. Interment will follow in St. Josephs , Pittsfield. Relatives and friends may call at the Dery , 54 Bradford Street, Pittsfield, MA on , from 4 - 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Irvs memory may be made to the American Heart Association in care of the funeral home.

▰ Beverly J Jessup

Died July 28, … More Information
Beverly J Jessup, born June 21, 1942 passed away peacefully July 28, 2015 in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Beverly was 73. Tags: #Robert #Milgate #Astrida #Melvin #Donna #Barbara #Michael #Katherine #Jessup #Kimberly #Barney #Printing #Marblehead #Ronald #Doyle #Nation #World #Fenway #John #Knight #Jackson #William #Vaillancourt #Brandon #Keely #Gilmartin #Zachary #Todd #Sara #Lauren #Yanni #Josh #Chandler #Park #Marbleheads #Eustis #Cornell
Obituary: Beverly Milgate Jessup, 73, of Marblehead, passed away at her home on 28, 2015. Our Mum was born on 21, 1942 in Niskayuna, NY and spent her childhood in Schenectady, NY with her loving parents, Helen Aleta Price Kimball Milgate and Robert White Milgate, Sr., and three siblings; Robert White Milgate, Jr. (whose wife, Astrida, became like a sister), Melvin George Milgate (whose wife, Donna, Mum adored), and Barbara Jean Milgate Stenzel (whose husband, Michael, fit into our family like a missing puzzle piece) who were all closer than peas in a pod.

Mum married at 18 and had us, Katherine Lea Jessup Knight and Kimberly Anne Jessup Vaillancourt in short order. Married for just 10 years, Mum did the unthinkable for a woman in 1969 and left her husband with both of us in the station wagon and set out on a new life. She was brave beyond her years.

Mum was amazing. She worked non-stop to make sure that we had everything we needed. She drove school busses, ambulances, and 18-wheeled big rigs. She worked as a court clerk, secretary to company presidents and transcribed books at 120 words per minute. The two jobs of which she was most proud, besides the big rig, were working for Barney Rabin Printing here in Marblehead where she got to work with Kat, met life-long friends and the love of her life, Ronald Webber, who predeceased her, and Doyle Sailmakers where she got to work with Kim.

Mum was a devout Red Sox fan and 40+-year card carrying member of Red Sox Nation. We e pretty sure that her happiest moments, besides watching us marry and have children, were seeing the Sox win three World Series. For her 70th birthday, Mum was able to tick another thing off of her bucket list. She made it to Fenway Park for the first and only time.

Mums greatest joys, beside us girls, were her grandchildren; John Lawrence Knight, III (Jake), Jackson Lea Knight, William Quinby Vaillancourt (Wil), and Michael Joseph Vaillancourt (Joey). Mum had many nieces and nephews whom she treasured, but was closest to three who weren related by blood but by love; Brandon Pettersen, Keely Mae Gilmartin, and Zachary Welch. To say that she loved her son-in-law, Ronald Knight, isn enough. Ronny was the son she never had. And, when Kim found her love and fiancé, Todd Beatty, Mum was blessed with two beautiful granddaughters, Sara and Lauren Beatty.

Mum died peacefully in her sleep in her adopted home town of Marblehead. She will forever be remembered by those she loved in every wave that hits the shore, every seagull that flies overhead, whenever we hear Yanni or Josh, and with every pitch at Fenway Park. Go Sox!

A memorial service for Mum will take place on , 28 at 3 p.m. at Chandler Hovey Park, Marbleheads Lighthouse. All are welcome to attend. by Eustis and Cornell of Marblehead.

Virginia and her beloved Leonard were married on 6, 1951 and they settled in Wakefield to raise their family. Ginny was deeply devoted to her husband and family. She took great pride in making sure her children and grandchildren had everything they needed. A homebody, she was happiest either on her porch enjoying her morning coffee or at home with her family, enjoying a great meal she made or celebrating a holiday. Birthdays were high on her list of important dates. Celebrations had to be held on the day of the birthday. Not the day before or the day after, but on the exact day. A proud homemaker, she took joy in keeping her home of 58 years neat and tidy. She really loved taking care of laundry, and utilizing clothespins for a lot more than just clothes. As she has shown, the number of uses for clothespins is really quite astounding. She was a proud and longtime member of First Parish Congregational Church in Wakefield, enjoyed playing cards with her neighborhood friends, and square dancing with her beloved Lenny. She enjoyed her many years of work at Klines department store in Wakefield. Ginny was warm, loving, generous, and she will be missed by all who were touched by her. Virginia was the beloved wife of the late Leonard J. Jesse with whom she shared 63 years of marriage. Devoted mother of Linda J. Jesse of Wakefield and Sharon J. Covell and her husband Richard of Saugus. Dear sister of Phyllis Davis and her late husband Warren and George Emberley and his late wife Mary, both of Saugus. Cherished grandmother of Rebekah, Scott, Emily, and Evan Covell and his wife Saraì. Loving great-grandmother of Bentley and Nathaniel Covell. Relatives and friends will gather in honor of Ginnys life at First Parish Congregational Church, 1 Church St., Wakefield on , 24 for a visiting hour from 9-10am followed by her Service at 10am.
