Marguerite Rita “Greta” (Haley) Dube
– 89, Truro. It is with profound sadness that we announce
the passing of Marguerite Rita “Greta” Dube, who
passed away peacefully on Friday, February 5, 2021, at Cedarstone
Enhanced Care, Truro. Greta, daughter of James Joseph Haley and Mary
Matilda “Greta” (Irvine) Haley, was born in Matapedia,
Quebec. Upon the sudden death of her mother, Greta was raised by her
maternal grandmother, Mary Irvine in Flatlands, NB.
Greta is survived by her loving husband of almost 72 years,
Joseph Ronald Dube; sons, Robert (Paula) and Ronald Jr.
(Tania); daughters, Patsy (Pierre) Desbiens, Ann (Raymond) Robertson,
Jean (John) Dube Demeule and Denise (Jeff) Dube MacLean; 12
grandchildren: Brenda, Lisa, Joe, David, Jennifer, Kyle, Joseph, Luke,
Keigan, Kate, Abby and Sophie; 10 great-grandchildren:
Noémie, Marco, Sarah, Madeline, Valerie, Logan, Taryn,
Chase, Olivia and Ava; brother, Frankie (Theresa); sisters,
Roselyn (Eddie), Rena and Mona (Ronnie). Greta was predeceased by
her daughter, Eva; parents, James and Mary; brothers, James,
Andrew, Harry and Jackie; sisters, Lou, Pat and Eva.
Greta lived a full life as a loving wife, mother and
homemaker. She worked part-time as a cook in various restaurants as
well as volunteering at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital serving snacks to the
patients. She was a proud grandmother, whose eyes would light up when
any of the grandchildren would visit; she dearly loved company and to
be with family.
Many thanks and much appreciation go out to the Staff, Nurses
and Doctors at Colchester East Hants Health Centre and Cedarstone
Enhanced Care in Truro.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Tide
Head, NB, where her remains will be placed next to her daughter,
Eva.
