Verta Constance “Connie” Langille (nee Pierce), passed
away peacefully at her home in Martin’s on October 17th 2022
with family by her side. She was 101 years old.
Connie was born on February 17th 1921 to Everette Pierce and Ann Maude
(nee Crouse). Of her 14 siblings she was the youngest. Connie had fond
memories of her youth spent on the family farm in Sable River. She
attended the local one-room schoolhouse, church and enjoyed exploring
the woods, river and nearby beaches with her friends and family.
Johnson’s Pond was a particular favourite.
Following her completion of school, Connie moved to Montreal and was
employed as a home care worker. Upon her marriage, she and her husband
Don moved to Lunenburg and then settled in Martin’s River where
they raised their family. Connie was a very community-minded person
and dedicated her time to many charities and local committees. She was
a founding commissioner of the Martin’s River Fire Department, a
member of the St. Martin’s Anglican Church Alter Guild as well
as the Ladies Auxiliary, a volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society
and a founder of the Martin’s River Bingo club/group. Along with
spending time with family and friends Connie enjoyed playing cards,
bowling, gardening, cooking and baking. She was a very creative person
and could often be found knitting, sewing or crafting something
special.

and will be deeply missed. Along with her parents and siblings, Connie

A message to my friends:
No Tears of Sorrow
Think of me
In springtime when you see a crocus
In the summer, a rose
The coloured leaves of autumn
In winter, the gentle falling snow.
Remember that I loved you.
Miss me for a while,
But let me go.
