It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Bernice Lumsden, on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney. She was a resident of the Cove Guest Home since 2017.
Born in Margaree, Newfoundland on November 12, 1926, Bernice was the daughter of the late John and Cedella (Warren) Wells. She grew up in Whitney Pier.
Bernice is survived by her children, Raylene (Don) Langley, Breton (Nancy) Lumsden and Michael (Louise) Lumsden; brother, Randolph (Joyce) Wells; sister, Sheila King; grandchildren Adam Langley, Breton Lumsden Jr. and Michelle Lumsden; as well as several nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Bernice was predeceased by her husband, Raymond; son, Robert; sisters, Beulah Patterson, Thelma Higgins, Sarah Hollohan and brother, Earl Wells.
For many years Bernice was an active member of St. Aidan’s Anglican Church, Westmount. In her later years, she was a member of the Church of Christ the King in Sydney. Home, family and faith were most important to her. Bernice was happiest at home, knitting, cooking and baking for her family and others.
