Leaman Everette Fancy
It is with heartfelt sadness that the family of Leaman
Everette Fancy 93, formerly of Hebbville announce his passing at
Rosedale Home for Special Care on October 14, 2024.
Born to
Stephen and Viola (Deal) Fancy on November 18, 1930, Leaman was the
youngest of 5 children. Along with his brothers and sisters he was
brought up in a big beautiful farmhouse on top of a high hill in
Hebbville, built by his grandfather.
Lillian Vera Miller
and Leaman married on September 23, 1954. They were caring, devoted
parents to their children Kevin and Rae, giving them wonderful
childhoods on the farm, where they taught them to work hard and to
enjoy life.
Leaman loved his farm and took great pride in
the beef cattle that he raised. He began making hay at an early age
and continued every year until age 89. Each summer he grew a large
vegetable garden and he would generously share his crop with family,
friends and neighbours.
Visitors were welcomed at
Leaman’s home, where they enjoyed lively conversation and a
game of cribbage or auction 45’s and always a nice lunch
which often included his own tasty homemade Lunenburg county
pudding.
Leaman was a man of faith, he was a lifelong
member of St. James Anglican Church in Conquerall Mills, which he
first attended as a child with his mother and father and later with
his wife and children.
As a young man Leaman loaded
pulpwood and lumber on the boats in Bridgewater and Port Williams, he
was considered to be one of the fastest at the job. All his life he
was a woodsman, he cut and hauled pulpwood, hardwood and logs. He
would often be called upon by neighbours when they needed a tree or
two cut on their property, he was pleased to do the work and took
pleasure in the socializing.
Back in the 1960’s
Leaman found his true calling when he bought what would be the first
of many dump trucks. He was hired on to haul gravel, rock, asphalt or
what ever was needed. This work made him extremely happy, very early
in the mornings he could be heard downstairs singing loudly while
making his breakfast, before heading out to work with his truck. He
worked on and helped to build many of the roads in Lunenburg County
and surrounding areas including the 103 highway, also S.S.R.H and
Superstore parking lots to mention a few. In the winter he hauled snow
from the parking lots and salt from Pugwash. He enjoyed a long and
satisfying trucking career for over 40 years, and would often
reminisce fondly about the experiences he had, and the friends that he
made along the way.
Leaman will be sadly missed by his
loving wife of 70 years Lillian «Vera», daughter Rae, son in
law Joseph-Sylvain, sister Jean and nieces, nephews and cousins.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by beloved son Kevin, and a son
in infancy, sister Ruth and brothers Clayton and Percy.
Burial will take place on October 25th with immediate family only.
Full memorial service to follow on December 6th at 2pm at St. James
Anglican Church, Conquerall Mills, Reverend Simon Davies officiating,
followed by a reception at the Conquerall Mills community hall.
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to Dr.
Riding also his wife and staff and to all the doctors, nurses and care
givers at the South Shore Regional Hospital and the V.O.N for the
care, kindness and support shown to Leaman during his illness. We
thank the friendly, dedicated staff at Rosedale for providing Leaman
with excellent care and endless compassion.
In lieu of
