Mary Bernadette “Bee” (Crispo) Feltmate
1958-2019
Feltmate (Crispo), M. Bernadette
“Bee”, age 60, Antigonish. A bright light and
a beacon to those who needed kindness was called home on April 30,
2019.
Born in Antigonish on October 4, 1958 Mary Bernadette (Bee)
Feltmate was the youngest daughter of the late Marie and James Crispo
of Monastery.
Bernadette married Roy Feltmate as a young woman and soon
after welcomed two beautiful daughters, first Amy then Holly to her
life. Bernadette and Roy loved their girls and their little
home in Goshen, where friends were welcomed and considered
family. Roy’s work moved them around NS and in
1992 Roy was lost in the Westray Mine, leaving his young family
heartbroken.
Bernadette later met George Bowie who was able to help mend
her heart and together they delighted in the birth of their daughter
Nikita. Bee beamed with pride as Nikki grew from a spirited
little girl to a strong young lady.
Bee had an open-door policy, if you needed a cup of tea or
coffee and good long comforting chat, her kitchen table always had
room for another chair. There was no limit to the antics she
would perform to put a smile on your face when she knew your heart was
in need. Her ability to bring joy when faced with sorrow
provided great comfort to so many. Her words could
be soft and encouraging or sharp and snappy, depending on what was
required.
She is survived by George Bowie, daughters: Amy, Holly,
Nikita (Morgan), step daughters, Rieneke (Jerry), Angelica (Adam),
step son George (Lindsay), chosen daughter Keri;
grandchildren: Jayde, Christianna, Jack, Andi, Charlie,
Stanley, Shanaye, Kaleb, Isaiah and Aniah; her sister
Catherine, brothers John (Karen) and Robert (Melinda); sisters in law,
Beverly Crispo, Isabel Morris, brothers in law,
Pierre Jullian, Aloysius Fitzpatrick, many nieces and nephew
who were dear to her heart and friends too numerous to
count.
She was pre-deceased by her husband Roy, brothers Michael,
James and Gregory; sisters Viola, Patricia, Theresa, Marilyn and
Beverly.
Visitation will be in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College
Street, Antigonish on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm.

Peter’s Cemetery, Tracadie at a later date.
