working all her life, teaching school while raising us boys. She later
worked at Manuel’s Restaurant and John Harris Grocerteria in
Canning. She also worked at Zellers in New Minas. Mom was proud to be
a member and Past President of the New Minas Lionettes Club. She loved
to pick berries and wouldn’t leave a field until all the
ripe berries were picked. Mom was a wonderful cook and made the best
mincemeat pies, as grandsons Cyrus and Morgan can attest and in her
memory, all her boys will continue to use her recipe. She also enjoyed
doing jigsaw puzzles. The family wishes to express their sincere
appreciation to all who visited mom during her illness, especially to
Lindsay and Marilyn Elliott for all their help during this difficult
time. Also, a special thanks to honourary pallbearers, nephews, Bruce
and Clary Turner, John and David Fulton, Michael Geddes and Stephen
Smith. In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place
and there will be no visitation or funeral service at this time.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and
Cremation Services, Kentville.
