Albert Edward Wheaton

Wheaton, Albert Edward- February
9, 1944 – April 22, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Albert
Edward Wheaton, a beloved husband, father, nephew, cousin, brother,
son in law and grandfather which occurred in the Inverary Manor,
Inverness County, on April 22, 2020.
Born on February 9, 1944, Albert was the son of the late
Bessie Morash of Point Tupper, Richmond County.
Albert was a parts manager at the Old Canadian Tire in Port
Hastings, for 25 years. He loved his job and working with
the public. Most people knew of Albert from working there
and seeing him out and about with his wife Irene, which he spent 90%
of his time with. After he left Canadian Tire, he went to
work at the wallboard plant in Point Tupper, and Louisiana Pacific
until 2002. Then he hesitantly went to work (at
Irene’s request ha ha) at the crab plant in Aulds Cove until
2009 when he said he was done working and wanted to
relax.
Dad had many cousins, uncles and aunts he loved to see when
we would all go to Maine and camp during the summer months in the
70’s to the late 90’s.
Albert loved going for long drives and he loved camping and
simple things like having his morning coffee while reading the paper
and checking the stocks on the internet he had investments in, mowing
the lawn, talking to the neighbor’s and going for weekly
coffee dates in Aulds Cove with his wife Irene and their good friends
and camping companions Gerard and Jane Marchand.
In recent years up until his illness he enjoyed having his
only grandson Kaden and played and laughed with him a lot.
Dad also was a sort of taxi for his wife and daughter during times of
illness.
A lifelong member of St. David’s Church, Port
Hastings. He was an elder and used to occasionally help with
meetings, dinners, events and communion.
Albert is survived by his only daughter, Lindsay, Dartmouth;
his only grandson Kaden, Dartmouth; sisters, Rita, Port Hawkesbury and
Anita “Nita”, Sydney. Albert was predeceased by
his wife of 45 years, Irene, his mother, Bessie and his mother in law,
Rose Davis.
As per Albert’s wishes there will be no
visitation. Cremation has taken place. Graveside
service will be held at 3p.m. on Saturday, August 8, 2020 from St.
David’s United Church Cemetery, Port Hastings with Pastor
Maggie Plant officiating.
Memorial donations in Albert’s memory may be made
to the Dementia Alzheimer’s Society or to St.
David’s United Church, Port Hastings.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Dennis
Haverstock Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Words of comfort
