Roy Allen Cousins
1933-2021
Roy Allen
Cousins, 87, of White Rock passed away peacefully at home on January
14, 2021, with his loving family at his
side.
Roy was a
son of the late Russell Cortland and Olive Adelia (Cross) Cousins. Roy
was a truck driver for most of his working life, and in later life, he
liked accompanying his trucker friends on their journeys. Roy found
comfort being in nature and surrounded by wildlife. He enjoyed
snowmobiling, antique cars, playing crokinole with family, and the
peaceful tranquility of farm life. He loved to work in the
woods; he was still able to cut his own firewood well into his 80s,
and his skill for picking the perfect family Christmas tree was well
on display again this year. But most of all, Roy loved his family. And
his family loved him dearly for his kind heart and his endearing silly
sense of humour.
Roy is
survived by his wife, Helen Joyce (Kozlowski) Cousins, and his four
children: R. Allen (Tammy), Kimberley Stewart (Scott), Terri Arsenault
(Bill), James (Nikki); as well as five grandchildren: Makayla, Jon,
and Andrew Cousins; Jessica and Alex Stewart; in addition to three
great-grandchildren: Ellie, Madison, and Russell; and a sister-in-law,
Margaret Cousins. He is predeceased by brothers, Bill, Melvin, Earl,
and youngest brother Dean, who passed away after a long illness only a
few short days ago.
The family
would like to thank the many health care workers who worked so hard to
keep Roy comfortable. It was Roy’s wish to
be cremated and to rest in a quiet place where nature abounds. We know
the tree frogs will watch over him. A Celebration of Life will be held
at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Roy may be
made to the Victorian Order of Nurses – Annapolis Valley or
the Third Horton Baptist Church, Canaan. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family
Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. On-line condolences
