It is with
great sadness we announce that Barbara Ann Rovers of Antigonish County
passed away peacefully at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital on
December 2nd, 2024, surrounded by her loving
family.
Born in
Antigonish on October 2, 1950, she was the daughter of the late Hubert
Mattie-Landry and Marie Bernadette Landry. A proud Acadian
and devout Catholic, Barbara was a faithful Ste. Croix parishioner and
proud member of her beloved community of Pomquet where she resided for
71 years before moving to Mount
Cameron.
Barbara was a
skilled and passionate cook and baker. Her natural culinary
talent, and strong faith, was a perfect fit for a 40 year career in
the kitchens of the R.K MacDonald Nursing Home, Bethany Motherhouse,
Mount Carmel and the Marion Community, work that she enjoyed deeply. A
true friend of the Sisters of St. Martha, she brought life to the
adage that cleanliness is next to godliness and led by fine example at
work, home and while managing the family cottage alongside her husband
Anthony and best friend Dorothy.
Barbara was a
kind, thoughtful, generous and compassionate woman who cherished her
close relationships with her family and friends. She was
loved by many and will be greatly missed.
She is
survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Anthony; sons Paul
(Cindy), Vancouver; Rene (Shelley), Pleasant Valley; Shawn (Amy),
Newport; grandchildren Jaelyn, Andre, Ella and Oliver; siblings Leo,
Pomquet; Rose, Mount Cameron; Rita, New Glasgow; Jospeh (Loretta),
Stellarton; Sylvester (Rose), Mount Cameron; John (Margie), Pomquet;
and, many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her
father Hubert Landry, her mother Bernadette (Landry), sister Ellen
Venedam, brother in-laws Pat Venedam, Frank Gosbee and Bob MacMillan,
granddaughter Haley Rovers, nephew Robbie MacMillan and sister Barbara
in infancy.
The family
would like to extend their gratitude to all the professionals in the
Emergency Department as well as the Progressive Care, Spiritual and
Religious Care and Palliative Care Units at St. Martha’s
Regional Hospital for the outstanding level of care, support and
comfort they provided. A heartfelt thank you to Rebecca for
sharing her incredible gift of music therapy with
us.
