The family of Nancy
Carol Hebb, age 80 of Central North River, wish to announce her
passing on Sunday, October 23, 2022 surrounded by her family at her
home. Nancy was the third oldest daughter of the late Claude and
Blanch (Baker) Slack. She was born in Folly Mountain where her mother
gave birth to her on her own.
After high school,
Nancy continued her education at Success Business College (Truro).
Prior to graduating, she was offered a position at London Assurance
for A.G. MacPhail which she started right away.
One of her greatest
joys was marrying Lester Hebb on August 22, 1964 (even though she was
late for her wedding). In 1969, she had her daughter, Carol and in
1971 she had her son, Harold. In 1990, grandson Kyle was born, whom
she loved dearly.
All her life, Nancy
was devoted to church and Sunday school. At age 4, she started Sunday
school, then onto Explorers and finally C.G.I.T at the age of 12. Once
she finished C.G.I.T., she became a Sunday school teacher at Debert
United Church. Once married, she taught at the Onslow United Church.
When her children were old enough she began teaching at the North
River United Church from 1973-1982. From 1982-2002 she was the
superintendent of the North River United Church Sunday School. During
this time she grew the attendance from 12-15 children to 125 children.
The annual Christmas concerts were looked forward to by the
young and old. As a member of the North River Church choir, she
performed at various venues throughout Colchester and Pictou County.
In 2002 due to health issues Nancy had to retire from both her
passions.
Nancy looked after her
oldest sister, Rosalie for over 18 years after their mother passed
away. Then when both Nancy and Rosalie’s health
deteriorated, Nancy made one of her hardest decisions in life. Rosalie
went to live at Wynn Park Villa until December 2014.
Nancy is survived by
her husband, Lester; daughter, Carol (Thomas McClelland), Beaverbrook;
son, Harold, Central North River; grandson, Kyle (Catherine), Alberta;
sisters, Kay (Ed) Franklin, Central North River; Claudia (Bill) Smith,
Avonport; Barbara (Dale) Jollymore, Lawrencetown; sisters-in-law,
Eleanor Redden, Martock; Doris Hebb, Billtown; several nieces and
nephews, and great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by sister,
Rosalie; sisters-in-law, Helen; Karlene and Jean; brother-in-law,
Gordon; Russell; Melvin and Francis.
A heartfelt thank you
is sent to everyone who helped take care of Nancy, especially the VON
