SMITH (Nickerson), Juanita Mary «Wanie» –
Age 65, Canso. It is with sad hearts we announce the passing of
Juanita on Saturday, June 1, 2019, with her family by her side. Born
in Canso she was a daughter of Mona Gordon (Manuel) and the late
Donald Elmer Nickerson.
She later moved to Dartmouth at a young age and then moved
back to Canso with her family and met the love of her life Clarence
Smith when she was 14 and they married when she was 17 and they were
happily married for 39 years. Juanita’s purpose in life
seemed to be her family, where she showed endless love to her
children, grandchildren and her great-granddaughter, Breagh where she
got the name «GG» that she was so proud of. After the
passing of her late husband, Clarence, she met a kind, gentle and
loving man, Clayton Haines. With Wanies big smile, brown eyes and huge
heart, she welcomed his family, Cindy, Gerry and their kids with hers
to make one! She enjoyed long drives, camping with family, bingo and a
good kitchen party. Wanie spent every moment with family and lived
life to the fullest.
Besides her mother, he is survived by her partner, Clayton
Haines; daughters, Tracy (Gerard) King, Canso; Sonya (Stephen) Foster,
