Edith Nutter passed away on July 29, 2021 with
her family by her side in Perth, ON. She was born in Boisetown, NB to

(Priscilla), two Grandsons, Timothy (Rachel) and Christopher Hunsley
and one Great Grandson, Gavin Hunsley. She is survived by her Brother,

Edith Nutter graduated from Mount Allison
University in 1945 where she met her future Husband. She worked for
the Children’s Aid Society and the Province of New
Brunswick.
She was an extraordinary woman who had an
extraordinary life filled with family and friends, service to her
community and church. Edith was the constant helpmate and partner to
her Husband in the Parishes of Simonds and Upham, St. Luke’s
in Woodstock, St. Mark’s Stone Church in Saint John, Christ
Church Cathedral in Fredericton. She traveled with her husband
throughout the Diocese of Fredericton, Canada and
internationally as he performed his duties as Bishop and Metropolitan
of the Ecclesiastical Province of Canada. Edith was active in the
Anglican Church Women (ACW), Sunday Schools, and other parish groups.
She loved spending time at their cottage on
Washademoak Lake and travelling the Maritimes, especially Prince
Edward Island. In 2011, Edith and Harold moved to Perth, Ontario to be
closer to Patricia and her family.
The family is grateful to Lanark Lifestyles
Retirement Residence and the staff who cared for her during
the past two years, Dr. Bob Van Noppen, and the caring staff at the
Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.
There will be two funeral services. The first
will be at St. James Anglican Church in Perth, Ontario on August 6,
2021.
The second funeral service will be in Christ
