Sandra Sewell
1942-2020
Sandra Anne Sewell. With heavy hearts and great sadness we
announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother, sister and sister-in-law on March 19, 2020. Born in
New Glasgow on October 29, 1942 (first day of hunting season), Sandra
was a daughter of John and Celina (Cormier)
Millen.
Sandra delivered mail for RR#1 Westville for over 30 years.
She also owned and ran the North End Laundry Mat for over 15 years. In
her early years, she painted for F.O.
MacLeod.
One of Sandra’s greatest talents was her singing.
She began singing at a very young age and won many competitions in her
early years. She continued singing throughout her life where she sang
solos in the Church of the Nazarene; she joined a women’s
Barbershop Quintet in her later years and sang soprano for seniors
throughout the community. All will miss your amazing
gift!!!
Such a kind, giving soul, she was always there for others,
never looking for anything in return. Mom, was a true earth angel in
so many ways.
A note from Mom, A very special thanks to my daughter-in-law
Doreen. It was my pleasure and I will always be with you. And John F,
for always bringing laughter and the unexpected, I will never forget
your kindness, and all my very expensive gifts. Haha
