Mary Laura Chisholm
1962-2019
Chisholm, Mary Laura age 56, of
Truro and formerly of Antigonish, passed away from a terminal illness
that she faced with amazing strength, grace, and dignity on September
5, 2019. She was surrounded by a room full of love, music,
flashlights, and a farewell toast at the Colchester East Hants Health
Centre.
Mary was the daughter of Theresa (Pettipas) and the late
Charles Myette of Tracadie. She is survived by her children Shannon
(Matthew) Weckman, Emily Chisholm (Russell), Gregory Chisholm
(Kendall), grandchildren Charleigh and Austin Weckman, as well as her
siblings Cathy (Peter) Berkvens, Karen (Donnie) MacDonald, Steve
(Cathy) Myette, Ron (Trish) Myette, David (Kara) Myette, Paul
(Jennifer) Myette, Lynn (Brian) McGill, and many aunts, uncles,
cousins, nieces and nephews who she greatly adored – and who truly
loved her back. She is predeceased by grandparents on both sides of
her family, as well as many aunts and uncles including her beloved
Uncle Joe Myette.
Her proudest accomplishments were her children with whom she
embraced every moment. She especially loved her role as
Nana.
She had a vivacious personality and always made people laugh.
Her greatest pleasure in life was to gather her family together and
celebrate. She was a fabulous cook who loved to entertain. Her dry wit
would leave you in stitches, even if she was just recounting simple
everyday events. Just like her dad, she was a Montreal Canadiens fan –
perhaps they will get them to the playoffs this
year.
She had a special gift in her ability to connect with
seniors. Throughout her career, countless families were touched by her
kindness, compassion, and humour.
Mary will be greatly missed but now lives on in the cherished
memories she created with family and friends so often surrounded by
music, food and laughter.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be
held Monday, September 9,
2019, from 2pm – 4pmand 7pm –
9pm in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street,
Antigonish. Funeral mass will take place in St.
Peter’s Church,Tracadie, on Tuesday at

buried in the parish cemetery alongside her dad. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made to CEHHC Foundation. Online
