Anne Pitts
1928-2019
It is with heartfelt sadness
that we announce the passing of Anne Elizabeth Pitts, age 90, beloved
mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend on Monday, June 3, 2019,
at Harbourstone Enhanced Care, Sydney.
Born July 23, 1928, in Sydney, NS, Anne was the daughter of
the late Jack and Rose MacDonald.
Anne is survived by her sister, Rita; four children, Eileen
Ross, Billy, Greg and Margaret Lesnick (Kim); five grandchildren,
Joanne Pitts (Mark), Adam Jackson (April), Nicole Jackson (Dwayne),
Melissa Keating (Mark) and Steven Ross (Catherine); and five
great-grandchildren, Ben, Myah, Arthur, Ella and
Grayson.
Besides her parents, Anne was predeceased by her husband,
William; brothers, Miles and Eddie; daughter, Anne Marie; son, Kenny;
son in infancy, William; and daughter-in-law, Sharon.
Mom was the bright light in our family. She found happiness
in everything and brought light heartedness to any situation, she
loved to laugh and have lots of fun. When she wasn’t playing
cards, listening to Rita MacNeil or watching the Golden Girls, you
could find her with her family – her true pride and joy. She loved
spending time with her kids and grandkids – teaching them how to play
cards, cooking interesting concoctions for them, telling silly stories
(which usually ended up with her giggling through most of it), and of
course, taking LOTS of pictures « to save the memories ». Mom
also loved spending time with her second family, her best friends –
« The Girls ». Between road trips, dances, card games, and
lots of laughs, these girls were a huge, and important part of
Mom’s life.
Funeral mass will be celebrated on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at
2:30 p.m. at Sydney Memorial Chapel, with Father Patrick
O’Neill officiating.
Donations may be made to Palliative Care or a charity of
one’s choice.
