Sally Sue (MacDougall) Hale
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Sally Sue (MacDougall) Hale, 84, of Pictou, Nova Scotia. Sally left us
in the early hours of Tuesday, April 20, 2021, at the home of her
daughter, Susan.
Sally was many things to many people; wife, mother,
grandmother, great grandmother, friend, and a healer in the true sense
of the word. As a young lady, Sally started her nursing career at the
Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow and went on to care for people in the
Moncton hospital, working in the OR in Labrador City and finally
running the Strait Richmond Hospital Emergency Department in Evanston,
Cape Breton. Sally moved back to her roots in Pictou County, went back
to school to become a well-known Healing Touch Practitioner helping
people for many more years. She touched the hearts and souls of
everyone who crossed her path.
Some people would call Sally an adventurer, where her close
friends may call her a partner in crime. She had a wonderful sense of
humour and was always making people laugh. She was up for anything,
exploring beaches with friends, spur of the moment road trips, or
grand adventures around the globe.
Sally had a special connection with Mother Earth and all of
its inhabitants and could often be found in her backyard enjoying the
company of the wildlife residing all around her. Sally’s spirit was
like no other, full of a warm and inviting light that welcomed
everyone. Those who knew her know how special she really was and will
now have an emptiness that only she could fill.
Sally is survived by her daughter, Susan (Paul) Landry,
Hammonds Plains; son-in-law, Doug Beaton, Port Hawkesbury;
grandchildren, Jennifer (Randy) Shepherd, Cleveland; Katie Beaton,
Port Hawkesbury; Tracey (Lee) DeWolfe, Lower Sackville; and Josh
(Jessie) Landry, Calgary, along with her great-granddaughters, Abigail
and McKenna. She is also survived by her siblings, Wayne MacDougall,
Pictou; Betty Weyman, Ottawa; Rob (Liz) Murray, Dartmouth, and several
nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father, William R
MacDougall; mother, Zena (Harker) Murray (Lester); husband, Robert
Hale; daughter, Wendy Beaton; and sister, Lynn
Fradette.
In honor of Sally’s life, a small private funeral ritual will
be conducted when Covid restrictions are lifted. Memorial donations
may be made to Re-Earth Lodge, Friends of Redtail Society, Carma Cat
Rescue, or charity of choice. Words of comfort may be sent to the
