Violet Lillian Louise Spencer
1930-2021
It is with great sadness that we announce the
peaceful passing of our mother, Violet Lillian Louise (Graves)
Spencer, 91, in Evergreen Home for Special Care, Kentville on Friday,
November 19, 2021. Born in Kentville on February 8, 1930, she was a
daughter of the late George Sr. and Ruby (Weagle)
Graves.
Lillian was a member of the Kentville Royal
Canadian Legion Kings Branch No. 6 since 1985. She started working at
the age of 14 for Canada Foods in Kentville. She married Harry
Frederick Spencer in March of 1945 and was a stay at home mom with her
children until returning to work at the age of 44 for Standard Paving.
She enjoyed bingo and cherished her family dearly. She always had a
cup of coffee for you as soon as you came through the door, often
always keeping at least eight cans of coffee on
hand.
Lillian will be sadly missed by her family and
friends. She is survived by four daughters, Rose McNeily and Christine
(Roscoe) Parker, both of Windsor, ON, Deborah Valianatos, of Florida
and Pamela (Terry) Dill, of Kentville; three sons, Edward (Nancy), of
Waterville, Steven Spencer and Rick (Liz) Spencer, both of Kentville;
daughter-in-law, Cindy Spencer, of Kentville; 17 grandchildren, 18
great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren; two sisters,
Sylvia Stevenson (Joe Benjamin), of Kentville and Linda MacKenzie, of
Mississauga, ON; brother, George Jr. (Darlene), of Centreville; and
many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased
by her husband, Harry Spencer Sr.; sons, Harry “Bunker” Jr.
and James; daughter, Patricia; grandson, Richard “Rick”
Spencer; great grandson, Brandon Fuller (Dill); sisters, Beatrice Cath
