It is with deep sadness we announce the
passing of Keith Gardner Ward, age 85, of Antigonish, NS. Keith passed
away peacefully on Monday, July 15, 2024 surrounded by his family at
St. Martha’s Regional Hospital in Antigonish, NS.
Born & raised in Springhill, NS,
he was a son of the late Vincent and Laura (Sterling) Ward, the
youngest of 11 children.
He joined the air force in 1960, working
as a radar technician. After retirement, he took on a position
maintaining electronics for Correctional Services
Canada.
In 1961, he married the love of his
life, Beverly MacLeod and raised an amazing family of 4 children. It
was an incredible adventure filled with laughter, friends, and the
Ward clan.
He loved gardening and puttering
outside, passing on his love of flowers and trees to his children and
took great pleasure in enjoying the birds singing as he sipped his
beverage on the front deck swing. He had an amazing talent for being
able to fix absolutely anything and could strike up conversations with
people everywhere he went, making many new friends along the
way.
He had patience to no end in helping his
children build homes and decks over the years.
He had passionate love for his family
and it was shown in all he did and the joy he took in every
achievement of his brood, as he and Bev watched their children, then
grandchildren grow up and great grandchildren arrive.
Keith will be dearly missed by his wife
Beverly, Antigonish; daughters Crystal Furlong (Floyd), Julie
MacDonald (Geordie), Bren Lumsden (Eric); Daughter-in-Law Marie
Durant; Grandchildren Michael & Kristine Wilson, Jesse
