1929-2020
Geraldine ( Dean) Rosemund Amiro ( d’Entremont),
age 90, passed away peacefully at the QE II Victoria General Hospital
in Halifax, NS, surrounded by family. She fought a couragous battle
with cancer for 15 years with strength and grace. She was of strong
mind and appetite enjoying her favorite dish, rappie pie, as her last
meal.
Dean was born December 29, 1929, to the late Isaiah and
Marguerite (Amirault) d’Entremont in Pubnico, NS.
She was predeceased by her devoted husband of 54 years, Gilbert Amiro,
as well as by her siblings, Jennie (Surette), Lawrence, Lionel, Marie
(Surrette), Marguerite ( LeBlanc), Wilfred, and Benjamin. She is
survived by her sister-in-law, Caroline. Also survived by her
immediate family; daughter, Michelle Amiro (Tony Fisher) of Bedford,
NS, and Susan Paynter (Dale) of Cambridge, ON; as well as her
grandchildren, Alex Paynter (Victoria), Brandon Paynter and Samantha
Amiro-Fullerton.
She was a devoted Mother, Grandmere and Taunte who loved and
valued her family. She kept abreast of all the family news,
inquiring about her nieces and nephews and their families
accomplishments and adventures. She cherished the calls and
visits.
Dean always wanted to know what was » going
on» in Pubnico and Oromocto, two communities which she
considered her home. She spent over 50 years in Oromocto enjoying the
support and friendship of her neighbours. She had many friends and
regularly was in contact with her closest friends Isabel MacDonald,
Camilla MacDougall, and Mary Ward. Dean was active in her community.
Serving her community through volunteer activities at St. Vincent de
Paul church, Cancer Society and Extended Care at the OPH kept Dean
busy. In her spare time she was found enjoying a game of Bridge, going
out for coffee or serving tea and her homemade pies at
home.

The family is grateful for the care and compassion from
Mariola and Kris Ganski of Kingswood Residence where she resided for
the last eighteen months.
