Phyllis May Reade
1930-2020
Phyllis Reade – age 90, of Kentville,
formerly of Auburn, passed away on July 20, 2020 at Shannex
Orchard Court, in Kentville. Born on July 6, 1930, in Woodside, she
was a daughter of the late Joseph and Charlotte Cox. She is survived
by her children, Donna (Jim) Mount, Robert (Sabrina) Reade and Paul
Reade; sisters, Ruth Bigelow and Joyce Parker; brother, Victor
Cox; grandchildren, Cory Murphy, Todd (Stephanie) Murphy,
Ashley (Mark) Huntley, Krista (Craig) MacDonald, Michael Reade,
Melanie Reade, Holly (Will) Jones, Denise Landry and Jason LeBlanc; 19
great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased
by her husband Ephraim «Jack» Reade, sisters, Lucy,
Greta and Dorothea; brothers Robert, Bernard, Paul and Kenneth; and
daughter in-law, Darlene
Reade. At a youthful age she started
working at the Tel and Tel phone company working as a switch board
operator in Canning, N.S. She eventually relocated to the
city and met her husband, Ephraim, after he hired her to work in his
store. They went on to live a remarkable life together with their
children, owning Reade’s Pick and Pay in Dartmouth, and
constructing multi-Family housing structures in the Dartmouth
area. Her zest for life was something to be admired as she
found enjoyment in every activity. She loved spending time with her
friends, and especially her family. We have many cherished memories
together either spending time at her Cottage in New Brunswick or
visiting her at her home. She loved listening to music and dancing.
She always had a lovely cooked meal waiting for you upon your arrival,
a candy dish that was always full, and lots of hugs. She will be
greatly missed by all who knew her, we will love you always and
forever! There will be no funeral service by request. A private
family graveside service to be held at a later date and
burial will take place at Oakridge Memorial
Gardens, Middle Sackville, N.S. Donations in her
memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, or one of your
choosing. Burial arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family
Funeral Home and Cremation Services.
