1939-2023
Alta
Marion (Taylor) Covert, age 83, of Kentville, passed away peacefully
on February 12, 2023, in Wolfville Nursing Home, Wolfville. Born on
September 8, 1939 in Middleton and raised in West Dalhousie, the
second of five surviving children of the late Alton and Marion
(Wright) Taylor. After graduating at the top of her class from
Bridgetown Regional High School she became a secretary, working first
at the Nova Scotia Sanitorium in Kentville, then the BFM Hospital,
Kentville and finally in a doctors’ office, until retiring
at 55. A woman of amazing determination, energy and strength, she was
always working, and seemed to excel at everything she tried. In
addition to her regular job, she built a side business doing fine
upholstery for clients across the province. For many years she also
did typing for a local doctor. She enjoyed entertaining, taking pride
in setting a fine table and creating delicious meals for friends and
family. She did not slow down in retirement. After moving to Annapolis
Royal she became involved in the Clementsport Legion, where as
caterer, she created weekly meals for large brunch and dinner crowds,
and she advocated for seniors at the provincial and national levels as
a representative of the Clementsport Good Neighbours Club. In 2005,
she won the Remarkable Senior Award for Leadership from the province
for her volunteering and work in the community. Alta loved dancing,
camping, seeing new places, playing cards, reading, sewing, knitting
and needlework. In retirement she became an amateur genealogist,
spending several years researching her family history, and an avid
gardener. She is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of
63 years, Murray; children, Michael (Linda), Calgary, Alta.; Jerald
(Deb), Devon, Alta.; Kimberlea and Brian, both of Ottawa, ON; and
Kevin, Canning; three grandchildren, Weston (Megan), Nina (Steve) and
Sarah (Nick), all of Calgary; and two great-grandchildren, Adam and
Finnley; as well as beloved sisters, Della and Nadine; brother, James;
and many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at 1:00
p.m. on Saturday, June 24, 2023 in Paradise Cemetery, Paradise,
Annapolis County. Reverend Barbara Bishop officiating. For those
unable to attend, a video webcast will be available online by Sunday,
