It is with sadness that we announce the
sudden passing of Geneva Mae Newcombe,
80, of Amherst, NS, on Sunday, September 5, 2021 at the Cumberland
Regional Health Care Centre. Born in Johnson’s Mills, NB,
Geneva was a daughter of the late Earl and Helen (nee McFadden)
Sears.
Geneva grew up in Sackville, Amherst and
Tyndal Road. She was a hard worker, and never a woman to sit
still very long except when playing cards. Geneva loved
fishing and clamming; she enjoyed a beer and lobster, country music,
dancing and socializing. Our mother was very kind hearted
and was a friend to many, young and old. In her younger
years she loved to skate and won several competitions in
Amherst.
Now we must say goodbye to a true
original. Thank you for a lifetime of memories
Geneva was the last surviving member of
her immediate family. She was an only child, and the apple
of her daddy’s eye. She will be dearly missed by two
daughters, Dawn Charmaine Sherriff, and Glenna Mae Cole; six
grandchildren, Gregory, Jonathan, Michael, Brondel, Kayla, and Ethan;
as well as eight great grandchildren, Stephanie, Elizabeth, Gavin,
Nova, Josephine, Austin, Derica, and Kaiser.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased
by her first husband, Donald Tuttle, her second husband, Austin
Estabrooks, and her third husband, Carl Newcombe, as well as an infant
granddaughter, Isabelle Cole.
Arrangements are under the care and
supervision of the Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church
Street, Amherst (902-667-8777). Honouring Geneva’s wishes,
cremation has taken place. There are to be no visitations or
services. Geneva’s ashes will be interred in the Springhill
Junction Cemetery alongside her family.
Donations in memory of Geneva may be
made to the CNIB or a charity of the donor’s choice.
Sharing of memories and condolences may
