It is with broken hearts and much love
that we announce the passing of Cindy Noreen Angus
(Wood) of Fall River, Nova Scotia, on Friday, April
8th, 2022 at the age of 62. Cindy was born on August 31, 1959, to
Betty Wood and Pearl E. Wood (d. 1999). She will be dearly missed by
J. Grant Angus, her loving spouse of 44 years, children Jamie Angus
(Trevor Brimicombe) and Gregory Angus (Kara Angus), Brimicombe
grandchildren: Elizabeth, Jessica, Alexander, Lucas, and Julia and
Angus grandchildren: Ayla, Audrey, and Adalyn. She was much loved by
her Big Lake family: sisters Nancy Park and Susan Wood, and Vicki
Darragh (Derek Darragh), her siblings Terry Wood and Randy Wood, and
all of her many nieces and nephews and other friends and
family.
Cindy was born in Digby and spent her
early years in Shannon Park, the Dartmouth naval housing, before her
family settled in Oxford for her formative teen years. It was here
that she met and fell for her high school sweetheart and future life
partner Grant. They were married at a young age and built a home in
Amherst, Nova Scotia. This is where they welcomed their children Jamie
and Greg and the family dog, Bruno. Cindy and Grant made the difficult
decision to move and set up their new home in Fall River in
1994.
Cindy devoted her life to caring for
others, starting with her children and when they grew too old to be
coddled (leaving her as an empty nester) she focused her loving
attention to her dog, Lucky. With her daily child rearing duties
coming to an end, she transferred her energy to looking after the
customers at A & N Electronics (and often the boys at the
shop). She chose to retire from her role in the family business to
return full circle back to her passion for little ones and help with
the raising of her grandchildren.
To know Cindy was to know the love she
had for her family. She would tell anyone who would listen how much
she cared for her grandchildren. She out-ran, out-played, out-baked,
out-partied, and out-lasted all adults in the room every, single,
time. “Nana” was much more than a grandmother – she was a
best friend and soft place to land for all 10 of her
“babies”. She often told us how amazing it felt to have
their little arms wrapped around her neck with a whispered “I
love you”.
Her other interests in life over the
years included spending time at her favorite place in the world: Big
Lake, tending her vegetable and ever-extending flower gardens, cooking
and baking (especially pies and other succulent treats), caring for
her prized tropical fish, camping for short weekends or long getaways,
and her much enjoyed trips to warmer climates.
Cindy devoted her life to caring for
others; she was there to enrich the lives of those she loved, and
always willing to offer what others needed, whether it was a hug, a
person to laugh with (or giggle uncontrollably), an ear to whisper
their secrets to, or a shoulder to lean on. She was highly regarded
and more loved than most people could imagine. Cindy will be sorely
missed by all of those who knew her, loved her, and had the privilege
to share their lives with her.
A celebration of life for Cindy will be
held on Friday May 13th at
11:00 am at the Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street in
Amherst NS (902-667-8777).
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Cindy Noreen Angus Wood 1959 2022..
