Martha Emberley of Dartmouth
It is with great sadness and regret, the family announce the passing of Martha, while surrounded by her loving family at the VG Hospital on Monday February 15th.
She was predeceased by her father, Ronald Emberley and mother, Elizabeth Emberley (Barron), and her brother’s George & Dominic Emberley. She is survived by her identical twin and best friend, Ida Emberley (Larry), daughter, Linda Hope (Richie), grandson, Brett Emberley (Prishy), and great grandson, Ty Emberley.
Martha was born in Newfoundland until the family relocated to Halifax in 1951.
She was a dedicated employee for the VG/Capital Health as a unit aid for 40 years until her retirement.
Spending time with family was what she loved most. She enjoyed time with her grandson and great-grandson. They were her “sweethearts”. Hugs, big cheek kisses, and giggles were a favorite! She also enjoyed road trips to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay, Hatfield Farm, Shubenacadie Wildlife Farm, a ride on the Harbour Hopper, and ice cream at the boardwalk. Family dinners was also a favorite. She enjoyed reminiscing and laughing at all of the good old times with her best friend of many years, Linda Redmond. Always loving a good laugh!
Martha will always be remembered for her love of family. She was an amazing sister and best friend to Ida, whom they both shared an amazing unbreakable bond. She was the most kind, thoughtful, amazing mother who even in sickness was still looking out for others. Her grandson & great grandson were the loves of her life and whom she adored. She also had a great love for animals, which included her little dog Sophie.
We would like to give special thanks to her amazing palliative care nurse, Shannon Purcell. Your compassion and kindness were exactly what was needed during this difficult time. We would also like to give thanks to Dr. Dupere, and Dr. Oliver, the palliative care team on 7A, including Myra, Abigail, Patrick, Tara, Shelley, Karen, the VON nurse Tammy Jones, Janice MacDonald from 6A, Amber Kelly OR nurse and Dr. Henteleff.
Visitation will be at the Dartmouth Funeral Home on Sunday, February 21st from 2-4 pm.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the SPCA or animal rescue of your choice may be given in her memory.
Goodbyes are not forever; Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean we’ll miss you, until we meet again.
