Barbara Anne Porter
1936-2021
Porter – Peacefully
after a brief illness, at her daughter’s home in Summerside,
with family by her side, of Barbara Anne (Gillis) Porter, aged 84
years. Born in Berwick, NS, she was the daughter of the late Howard
and Lucy (Sarsfield) Gillis. Survived by her daughter Debbie Totten; 4
grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; son-in-law Scott Garland;
brother Larry (Luramae) Gillis; sister-in-law Eileen (Ron) Trevors;
and by her nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband Lorimer
Porter; daughter Suzanne Garland and by her son-in-law Terry Totten.
Barbara Anne grew up in Bridgetown, NS and following graduation
attended Business School in Kentville, NS. Mom worked for a few years
at the Telephone Company before happily settling into married life
raising their 2 daughters. In retirement Mom and Dad moved to
Coldbrook, NS where they enjoyed snowmobiling in the winter, trips
South in the spring, and summer months at their cottage in Aylesford
Lake, NS entertaining family and friends. Mom enjoyed the last few
months living in Summerside and keeping busy doing her puzzles and
playing cards. Highlights of her days were when her
great-grandchildren visited, and she watched them laugh and
play. You left us quickly and we treasure your memories. Your last
wish was to see dad, so we draw comfort knowing you are together
again. Special thanks to Dr. Kutcher, Palliative Home Care Nurses,
Family and Friends for your kindness and support during this difficult
time. Resting at Moase Funeral Home, Summerside. No visiting hours or
funeral service by request. Memorial donations to the Canadian Cancer
Society would be appreciated.
