The death of John William “Twilight” Sutherland of St. Peter’s occurred at Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston, on May 9, 2020. Born on August 10, 1940, he was the son of the late Ambrose and Rose (Sampson) Sutherland.
John is survived by his partner of 25 years, Trudy MacMillan; twin daughters, Barbara Ann and Brenda Lee; brothers Michael (Linda), Sydney, Victor, Nine Mile River, Patrick (Sharon), St. Peter’s; sisters Beatrice (Robert) Morrison, Jean (Jackie) Pottie, Lower L’Ardoise, and Mary, St. Peter’s. He was predeceased by his brother, Frank.
In his younger days, John was employed with Mac Bain Coal Mines in Trenton and later with Office Specialty Equipment in Halifax until his retirement to St. Peter’s in 1996. John enjoyed attending the square dances at the United Church Hall in St. Peter’s. In addition, he was an avid sports fan, hunter and recreational fisherman. He will be truly missed by his family and friends, especially his close friend, Albert Martin.
Thank you to Dr. Clarke and staff at St. Martha’s Hospital, Antigonish, as well as Dr. Pluta and staff of Strait Richmond Hospital who provided such good care in his final days.
