Mary Alice Boylan
August 30, 1940 – May 03, 2020
Boylan, Mary Alice
79 of Halifax. It is with sad hearts we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother who passed away peacefully in the arms of her daughters, on Sunday, May 3, 2020.
Born in Halifax, she was the daughter of the late Egbert and Alice (Gay) Caldwell. Mom grew up on the family farm in Hardwood Lands NS. In her early years she worked in the insurance industry, followed by the retail industry (Sears Canada) and then took great pride in her many years of babysitting children. What Mom enjoyed most was being with her children, grandchildren and great granddaughter.
Mom will be deeply missed by her daughters, Cindy (Tony) Campbell, Brookside NS, and Carla (Mike) Maloney, Cole Harbour NS, her cherished grandchildren, Corey & Casey Campbell, Matthew & Ryan Maloney and great granddaughter Mary Isabella Campbell-Sweet.
Mom was predeceased by her husband and best friend Ross Boylan, brothers Egbert & Kenneth Caldwell, Truro NS, sisters Blanche Tanner, Milford NS and Muriel Caldwell (in infancy) Hardwood Lands NS. Survived by sisters-in-law Helen Caldwell and Elizabeth Caldwell, Truro NS and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Many thanks to family and friends who have helped our Mom during her times of need through her many battles with Cancer; Mary Lou Wilson, Barbara Blackburn, Margaret & George Simpson. Special thanks to Bea & Kevin Stankard, and her cousins whose love and devotion to our Mother in too many ways to mention has comforted her through the years. Special thanks to her best friend and confident Marion Oldham for making life just a better place for our Mother.
At Mary‘s request cremation will take place under the direction of the Dartmouth Funeral Home Ltd. A private family burial will take place at a later date.
Donations may be sent to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be sent to www.dartmouthfuneralhome.ca
Goodbye my family, my life has passed.
I loved you all to the very last.
Weep not for me, the courage take.
And love one another for my sake.
I’m with your father, where I belong.
Go on with life, and be strong.
For those we love don’t pass away.
They walk beside us every day.
