Geneva Kay Long
1939-2022
With heavy hearts we
announce the passing of Geneva Kay Long, 83, on Sunday, May 22, 2022
in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville.
She was the beloved
wife of Phillip; mother to Phil (Sue), Michelle; doting grandmother to
Gemma and mother-in-law to Lee Coley.
Geneva was born in
Wolfville on May 10, 1939 to the late Colin and Marion (Jordan)
Atwell. She was raised on Melanson Mountain and in
Wolfville.
She spent time working
in various floral and sewing retail establishments in the Valley. She
had a great love for travel and instilled that in her children, being
able to share many adventures to far flung parts of the world. She was
a kind, caring person who always put other’s needs first. Her pride
and joy was her family, always there to lend a helping hand, and a
word of encouragement. She believed anytime shared with family was
time well spent. A life well lived.
