Obituary
It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, Anne Harkin Baird, at the age of 88.
Anne is predeceased by her husband John Baird, parents Mary McCafferty Harkin and Patrick Harkin, sister Mary Bridget (Mamie), and son-in-law Randy Pelletier.
She is survived by her daughters Moira (Kevin Penney), Maeve, and Aileen (Ron Fraboni); cousin Margaret “Madge” Falconer (Michael) in Edinburgh; siblings Patrick “Packie” Harkin (Mary, deceased), Kathleen Sweeney (Neil, deceased), Madge Toye (Patsy) and John Harkin (Rosaleen), many nieces and nephews; and her close friend Bernie Hanrahan.
Raised in the Gaelic-speaking area of Donegal, Ireland, Anne studied nursing at Chalmers Hospital, Edinburgh, Scotland, where she took first prize for theory and practice of nursing. After graduation she studied midwifery at the Glasgow Royal Maternity Hospital.
Anne sailed to St John’s in 1961 onboard the HMS Nova Scotia in response to the Newfoundland government’s call for nurses. She first practiced at the old General Hospital, later at the Sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, and finally at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital where she became assistant director of nursing.
In retirement, Anne was an avid gardener, frequent traveller to Ireland and Scotland, and a volunteer with the SPCA and the St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank at Corpus Christi Church where she regularly attended Saturday evening mass.
Many thanks to the Fairhaven unit staff at the Agnes Pratt Home for their care and kindness to our mom.
