Sandra Mary (Perry) Park
1945-2024
Sandra
Mary (Perry) Park, 78 of Port Williams passed away on March 10, 2024
in the QEII Health Sciences Centre, surrounded by family. Born in
Geraldton, Ontario, she was the daughter of the late George and Velma
(Childs) Perry.
Sandy
was a sister, a mother, a grandmother, and a dear friend. Her deep
connection with her sister was forged by the simplicity and closeness
of small-town life in Northern Ontario. Together they navigated
childhood adventures, sibling rivalries, and the milestones of growing
up. Sandy couldn’t be happier about Cheryl’s move
to Nova Scotia, which not only brought them closer in proximity, but
also in heart.
After
meeting Arnold at a Valentine’s Day dance, they became high
school sweethearts, eventually marrying and starting a family. Arnold
worked tirelessly building his career to support their growing family
and Sandy happily devoted her time to raising their children. She
later pursued education as a mature student, earning her undergraduate
degree at Acadia University and later a Bachelor of Education. She
worked as a substitute teacher in both NB and NS, but ultimately
family fulfilled her life the most. So much so that when the nest
became empty, she and Arnold made the decision to expand their family.
Over a period of six years and three trips to China, they welcomed
three more daughters. Sandy had a unique relationship with each of her
seven children and she delighted in watching them grow into adulthood,
pursuing their dreams and building their own
families.
Another
very important role to Sandy was being a grandmother. She adored her
11 grandchildren, and cherished moments spent with them. She made each
of them feel special. Although admittedly she was not tech-savvy, she
learned to navigate technology so she could keep up with her kids and
grandkids. Whether it was a phone call from away, a Facebook message
or popping in to say hello when they were home, staying connected to
Nanny was always a priority.
When
Sandy took interest in something she went full on, as could be seen in
her hobbies such as making dolls, knitting, and crocheting. She loved
country music, shared Arnold’s love of reading, and enjoyed
cooking for family potlucks. She knew everyone’s favourite,
and was famous for her jam, pea soup, chocolate dipped shortbreads,
and her classic chili.
Sandy’s big personality drew
people to her. She was known for her genuine compassion and
acceptance, regardless of any differences of opinion. She exemplified
the values of forgiveness, acceptance, and positivity; leaving a
lasting impact on all who knew her. In addition to her dedication to
family, her faith was a guiding light. She was a trusted leader who
served on the board of the Centreville Baptist Church, also
contributing her time and wisdom to the Deacons board. She will be
remembered as a beacon of love, strength, and compassion, whose legacy
will forever live on in the hearts of those she
touched.
Sandy
will be deeply missed by her daughters, Susan Forsythe (Richard),
Sarah Park, Molly Park, and Lily Park, all of Port Williams; sons,
Stephen (Charlene), Mill Village; Doug (Barb), Halifax; and Michael,
Port Williams; sister, Cheryl Doi, Wolfville; and beloved
grandchildren, Nicholas, Christopher, Maggie, Tristan, Gretel, Hannah,
Max, Logan, Addison, Grayson, and
Savannah.
In
addition to her parents, Sandy was predeceased by her husband, Arnold
Park (2020); and son-in-law, Scott Forsythe
(2005).
Despite
our heartbreak over her unexpected passing, we are comforted knowing
that she is reunited once again with the love of her life. May they
rest in eternal peace together.
The
family would like to thank the staff of the QEII, especially nurses
Laura and Emily, for the kindness and compassion they showed to mom
and to us during her final hours.
Cremation has taken place and there
will be no visitation. A Celebration of Sandy’s Life will be
held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 15, 2024 in the Centreville Baptist
Church, Centreville, Kings County. Reverend Emma Batumbya officiating.
A livestream will be available
through: www.youtube.com/live/IP9hE5aStHc?feature=shared. A
reception will follow, feel free to wear bright clothing in honour of
her personality. Donations in memory may be made to the QEII Hospital
(donate to Comfort and Care), The Brain Aneurysm Foundation of Canada,
or Centreville Baptist Church. Funeral arrangements have been
entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
Kentville.
«To
the world you were a mother, but to the family you were the
world».
