McCully – East
Mines/Truro. It is with saddened hearts, the family of the late Grace
Amelia McCully, announce her passing on Friday, September 27, 2018, at
the age of 90. Born in Lornevale, she was a daughter of the late

Immanuel Baptist Church, Truro, for 55 years. She loved when her
family would come home from Ontario for visits and she took pride in
being a great host. She was an excellent cook and loved to bake
goodies for her family, enjoyed knitting and crocheting and absolutely
loved the Toronto Blue Jays and watched all of their games; many will
remember seeing Grace wearing her beloved Blue Jays hat. At the age of
65, she fulfilled a life-long dream of learning to
swim.
