Delma Morrisey – 85, Truro, passed away peacefully at home,

only sibling, Sonny Patton.
She was a devoted wife, mother of six, grandmother to twelve
and great grandmother to ten. She cherished time spent with loved
ones. She loved to dance, laugh, read, do crosswords and watch her

jar was filled for her beloved grandkids. One of her favorite places
was the “Old House” in Minasville.
She had an extensive work career starting with the Royal Bank
in Halifax. She took an assistant lab technician course at Camp Hill
Hospital and worked off and on at the Truro hospital until 1963. She
started her insurance career at Central Agency and Norwich Union, then
