Ann Viola Power
1942-2020
Power, Ann Viola (nee Chisholm) –
Age 77 of St. Francis Harbour, Guysborough Co. Passed
away peacefully on Monday, June 15, 2020 in St. Martha’s
Regional Hospital, Antigonish. Ann was born in St. Francis Harbour.
She was a daughter of the late John Joseph and Mary
Catherine (Diggins) Chisholm.
Ann is survived by her husband of 47 years, John; her son,
Paul, St. Francis Harbour; daughter, Linda (Pierre), Middle Sackville;
grandchildren, Josie, Cochrane, Alberta and Justin, Middle Sackville;
sister-in-law, Gerry Chisholm, Hamilton; sister-in-law, Florence
Chisholm, Antigonish and special cousin, Arletta Pettipas, St. Francis
Harbour. Also, many special, loved nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Ann was predeceased by her brothers, Tom, Jim,
Eugene, William “Billy”, Joseph “Joe”, Jack,
Lewis, Cyril Howard (in infancy) and sister, Cecilia
MacLeod. Ann was the last surviving of her immediate
family.
Ann was proud of the time she spent working at the Department
of Defense in Halifax before she moved home to St. Francis
Harbour. She later retired from working at the hospital in
Guysborough.
Ann loved all of God’s animals. She was
an avid bird watcher and fed the birds and squirrels each morning
before anything else so she could sit and watch them while she had her
toast and tea. She had the patience of a Saint and spent
much time doting on her children and grandchildren. She was like a
“second mom” to so many of their friends.
In keeping with the Covid-19 restrictions, a private
graveside service will take place. The funeral mass will be held at a
later time, when family and friends will be able to gather. Further
notice will be provided when appropriate.
Family flowers only, please. Memorial donations in memory of
Ann may be made to St. Francis of Assisi Cemetery Fund, St. Francis
Harbour. Funeral arrangements are under the care and direction of
Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Guysborough. Words of comfort may be
