Mary Colleen Robinson (Pettipas)
November 16, 1957 – September 21, 2021
Heaven has taken another angel. It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Mary Colleen Robinson (Pettipas) age 63 of East Chezzetcook in the early morning hours of September 21, 2021, at the Victoria General Hospital, due to post operative complications. Born to the late Joseph Carl and Ethel Marie Pettipas on November 16, 1957 in Musquodoboit Harbour. Mary who also went by her middle name Colleen spent her youth enjoying bonfires on the beach and driving the dirt roads of East Chezzetcook, later in her adulthood as a devoted mother of two sons, wife, and member of her church in Dartmouth, her focus remained on her family, faith, and community.
Her family was her greatest joy in life along with her faith, and the many friends she made at the South End Baptist Church. She loved the holidays and bringing family together in celebration. She enjoyed singing and laughing as much as possible, often acting a fool just to make others smile. She was the kind of person that would do anything for anyone even at her own expense.
Mary is survived by her husband, Brian Robinson; sons, Matthew and Kevin Whalen; daughter-in-laws Erica and Yukiko Whalen; grandchildren, Isaac and Keagan Whalen; sister Marie Morrow; brother-in-law Gary Morrow (predeceased); brother Michael Pettipas (predeceased); Sister-in-law Brenda Pettipas; niece Lisa Orichefsky (Pettipas); nephews Calvin Pettipas and Shawn Morrow; and many cousins.
We will miss the sound of her singing voice and the energy she could bring to a room but will take comfort knowing she is singing and dancing with the angels in heaven.
A small memorial has taken place on Sunday September 26th for the family and later, a celebration of life on November 16th at the South End Baptist Church on 60 Hastings Drive Dartmouth at 2:30pm . Celebration of life to be officiated by Pastor Marlene Knowles and Pastor Leslie McCurdy . All are welcome to attend. Please follow all Nova Scotia Health’s current Covid-19 protocols.
Donations to the South End Baptist Church are graciously appreciated. Condolences can be made online to dartmouthfuneralhome.ca
