With sadness we announce the death of our mother, Sylvia
Grace Blackie on May 2, 2020 at home after a brief period of failing
health.

Our mother enjoyed baking, knitting socks, quilting, country
music and dancing, reading,and especially wearing her flip flops,
shopping and the Debec Tuesday quilters. Mother had a strong faith and
loved her church.
Our mother was predeceased by her parents, her husband Earle,
two sons at birth, grandson Troy Grant, sisters Marion Veysey (Gerald)
and Joyce Miller (Jim), brother- in-law Cam Fletcher, brother Joe
McKinney and son-in-law Ronnie Grant.
Our mother is survived by her daughters Janice (Reg)

Barry (Julie) Anderson, Craig (Bridget) Anderson, Todd (Trish) Grant,
Tony (Stephanie) Grant, Suzanne Grant, Sheila (Barry) Bartlett, Joseph
DeMerchant and Beckey DeMerchant (Jerry Johnston) as well as 15 great
grandchildren , 1 great-great grandson and two sisters Phyllis
Fletcher and Josephine Corey (Herby).
We want to thank family, friends and neighbours for your
caring support of our mother. Special thanks to Dr. Ramos and the
Extra Mural nurses.
For Mum
It takes a special mom who understands the
power of love to bring you up and guide you toward the things you are
dreaming of…..
It takes a special grandma who has smiles and
hugs to share to make her family so much closer by just being there
with out- stretched arms full of love.
You were special and amazing to
us.
We love you Mum and Grandma!!!
XOXO
