Nola Ruth (Clarke) MacLeod
1939-2018
Nola Ruth (Clarke) MacLeod, February 8, 1939
– January 1, 2018, age 78. It is with profound sadness the
family announces the passing of Nola. She passed away peacefully
surrounded by family. Born in Grafton, Nova Scotia, she was a daughter
of the late Allison and Ruth (Condon) Clarke and sister of Janet
(George), June (Ken), Diane (Dave) and John (Peter). Many of her
fondest memories were of growing up in the valley, and after
graduating from the VG Nursing Program, she married Dr. S. Clair
MacLeod of Prince Edward Island. After living in Halifax for many
years where they started their family, they returned to the valley in
Port Williams. Family summers were spent on Darnley Beach,
P.E.I. She will be missed immeasurably by her children who
remain ever grateful for her presence in their lives, Ruth L. MacLeod
(Shawn), Port Williams; Marilla A. MacLean (Colin), Halifax; Kempton
B. MacLeod (Beth), Mississippi; David S.C. MacLeod (Karen), Moncton,
N.B. Adored by her grandchildren, Amma will be fondly missed by Katie
MacLeod-Stroud, Ottawa; Mollie and Lewis MacLean, Halifax; Rebecca,
Emma-Kate and Noah MacLeod, Mississippi; Camden and Jack MacLeod,
Moncton, N.B. Nola was loved by nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and
uncles. She will be dearly missed by many special friends. Nola was a
mother to more than her four children and provided support, comfort
and advice to many. She proudly boasted she made the best apple pie
and those lucky enough to sample it always agreed. Family thanks to
Dr. Alison Wellwood for her compassionate care. In lieu of flowers
donations can be made to the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation,
Carey-Me Fund (in support of palliative care in the home). A funeral
service followed by a reception will be held at 10:00 a.m. on
Saturday, January 6, 2018 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville,
Reverend Ivan Norton officiating. Burial will take place at a later
date in the Lakeview Cemetery, Lakeville, Kings County. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and
Cremation Services, Kentville.
