Garry Thomas MacNutt
1948-2021
MacNutt, Garry Thomas – age 72, of Kentville, passed away on
July 3, 2021, at Valley Hospice after a brief but hard-fought battle
with cancer. Born in Kentville, he was the son of the late Everett and
Evelyn (Langille) MacNutt of Pereau.
Garry was a millwright and leading maintenance journeyman at
Nova Scotia Power. After 32 years with NSP, he retired and accepted
the position of planner/scheduler with Shell at their petrochemical
facility in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta where he enjoyed a challenging
6-year second career. Garry and Pat loved to travel, so the move to
Alberta enabled them to visit many places on their Bucket
List—Hawaii, Jamaica, San Francisco, Las
Vegas—Bette Midler and Cher concerts were
highlights—as well as a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon.
Returning to Nova Scotia, they then headed east and enjoyed London,
Paris, Rome, Ireland and Egypt.
Garry enjoyed golf, home renovations, and being active, but
most of all he enjoyed being a father and grandfather—his
family was of first importance to him. He was a wonderful husband and
a good man.
Garry is survived by his wife, Pat (Blair); son, Michael
(Lenore), Halifax; granddaughters, Grace and Ava; brothers, Albert
(Paulette), Centreville; Wayne (Denny), Hubley; Nick (Elaine), Pereau;
sister, Marg Barkhouse (Steve), Melanson; many nieces and nephews, and
extended family. He was predeceased by his beloved daughter, Jennifer
Lynne.
Cremation has taken place. A graveside service will be held
on Saturday, 10 July, at 3:30 pm in Habitant Cemetery. In lieu of
flowers, donations to Valley Hospice in Kentville would be very much
appreciated. A special thank you to Dr. Jenna MacNeil and Dr. Barb
Ross and the incredible Palliative Care team at the Hospice. We are
truly blessed to have such caring and compassionate people in this
much needed facility.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to White Family
Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. Online condolences and

The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on;
Nor all thy piety nor wit, shall lure it back to cancel half a
line
Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.
