Verna Jean Coldwell
1935-2021
Verna Jean Coldwell – age 85, of Gaspereau, passed
away on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Born in Gaspereau, she was a
daughter to the late Clarence and Margaret (Allen) Atwell and was
predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Waldon Lee Coldwell. Mom
worked at McCluskey’s in Wolfville before marrying Dad and
moving to Gaspereau. She made the Gaspereau community a part of her
life working hard as a farmer’s wife, raising five children.
She was a member of the Gaspereau Ladies Auxiliary, working tirelessly
fundraising and supporting the church and community. She believed
charity started at home and should be done anonymously. She loved when
friends or family came to visit. We used to tease Mom that she was the
local Tim Horton’s before Tim’s existed. Anyone
who came to visit always had a cup of tea with homemade bread or
sweets made in her magic kitchen. She will be missed by her children,
Sherry (Phil) Hickey; Louise (Steven) Ward; Sally (Marshall) Dunbar;
DeWayne (Bev Elliot); Lionel (Wanda Moors); grandsons, Jeremy (Dee)
and Barclay Hickey, Aaron (Lara) and Brendan Ward, Liam and Drew
Coldwell. She was a sister to Allison (Judy) Atwell; Gordon (Rose)
Atwell and the late Avery (Edith) Atwell. A private graveside service
will be held in the Gaspereau Cemetery, Reverend Gary Manthorne
officiating. Donations in memory may be made to Gaspereau United
Baptist Church. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White
Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
Kentville.
