Edith Chancey (nee Higdon) Obituary
Passed away on Friday, June 21 at her residence in Cambridge Estates, just one week after her 93rd birthday, Edith Elizabeth (Betty) Chancey (nee Higdon). Originally from New Harbour, Trinity Bay, she is predeceased by her loving husband Fred in 2006, and by her sisters Loretta Gardner, and Peggy (Doug) Brett, and brothers Eric and Sid Higdon. Also predeceased by her in-laws: Gorden and Edna Chancey, Harold Chancey, Ralph and Elizabeth Chancey, Edith and Robert Wilson, Tom and Margaret Chancey, and Clarence Chancey.
Leaving to mourn her devoted children, Cathy Chancey (Colin Pilgrim), Paul (Holly), and her precious grandchildren, Joshua and Noah. Also leaving to mourn, brother Al (Edna) Higdon, brothers-in-law Ben Gardner and Ern Chancey, sisters-in-law Doris Higdon and Effie Chancey, and a multitude of nieces, nephews and lifelong friends.
After completing the commercial program with the Sisters of Mercy, Mom worked on the base at Fort Pepperrell, was a member of the Naval Reserve and was active in Allied Youth. Like many of her generation she “retired” in 1958 to raise her children and made many other important contributions. She was generous with her time and supported many charities. She started volunteering at the Grace Hospital in the 1970’s and stayed until it closed in 2000. She volunteered with the Red Cross, the CNIB and later was a Spike in the CN Pensioners Association. She spent countless hours at St. David’s Church working on committees, and helping with afternoon teas, flipper dinners, spring sales, and helping out in whatever way she could.
Though she never baked anything that quite met her own standards, she was a great baker and was always making something, usually for someone else, much to our chagrin. Her grandsons will forever miss the Saturday chicken lunches that no one can replicate. Mom loved to walk, and did so to her dying day. More than anything else, she enjoyed spending fall afternoons berry picking on the hills around Blasthole Pond.
Special thanks to the staff of Cambridge Estates, and to Dr. Andrea Singleton. Their kindness, dedication and professionalism will not be forgotten.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Barretts Funeral Home on Hamilton Avenue. Visitation will take place Tuesday June 25th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm and 7:00pm to 9:00 pm. The funeral service will take place on Wednesday, June 26th at 11:00 at the chapel, with interment to follow at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Flowers gratefully accepted or donations can be made to St. David’s Church or a charity of one’s choice.
