Carol Ann Campbell
1935-2018
CAMPBELL (MacGillivray), Carol
Ann – 82, Truro, passed away Tuesday morning,
May 29, 2018, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.
Born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, she was a daughter of the
late William E. and Olive (Small) MacGillivray. Leaving to celebrate
the completion of a long and happy life, during which she was blessed
with the loving support of Murray, her best friend, husband, and
latterly caregiver extraordinaire, are her daughters, Christine
(Brian), Chico, CA and Jennifer (Claudio), Arlington, MA;
granddaughters, Ruby and Layla, Arlington; siblings, Robin Fewer, St.
John’s, NL; Jinx MacGillivray, Bedford; Bill MacGillivray
(Terry), Kingsburg Beach; Bonnie MacGillivray (Ken), Galiano, British
Columbia; Drew MacGillivray, Waterloo, Ontario; nieces and nephews
scattered across the continent. Having received her early education at
Bishop Spencer College in St. John’s, Carol graduated from
Dalhousie University in Halifax. She taught in Halifax and at Cobequid
Educational Centre in Truro until health issues forced early
retirement. Further study at Dal provided the groundwork for a second
career and, in subsequent years, she and colleague, James F. Smith,
used the Colchester Historical Museum as a base for researching and
writing about the Planter Townships of Cobequid and the beginnings of
the public education in Nova Scotia. In the absence of any formal
ceremony of remembrance, Carol hopes that sometimes when walking
around her native Newfoundland and her adopted Nova Scotia, family and
friends will think of one who took great delight in the heritage and
natural beauty of the Atlantic Provinces. Donations to Colchester
Historical Museum, Truro Homeless Outreach Society or charity of
choice can be made at the funeral home and will be gratefully
acknowledged. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall
– Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Private
