James Edison
Cameron – 86, Hilden.
It is with profound sadness that the family of James Edison Cameron
announce the passing of their hero on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at
Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Halifax, Jimmie
was raised by his beloved mother, the late Betty
Cameron, in Springhill with his older
siblings.
After proudly serving in Germany in the Canadian Army with
the Royal Canadian Engineers, Jimmie returned to Springhill.
There he eventually met the love of his life, the late Myrna
(Marshall) and they were married for over 58 years before her
passing.
Jim is survived by his beloved daughters, who though he is
the best man they ever knew, Beth and Shyrl (David). Grampie also
leaves his much cherished grandchildren, Amy (Tim), Heather (Don), TJ,
Adam (Melissa), Ashlyn, Cameron (Cassie), Caitlyn (Scott) and Dalton.
Grampie’s newest many loves were his 22 great grandchildren. Also
mourning his loss are his in-laws, Leona “Nonie” (late
Wendell), Sherry (Bill), Bill and his many nieces, nephews and
cousins.
The last surviving member of his immediate family, Jim was
predeceased by his sisters, Agnes “Nikki” (Harry), Mary
“Dot” (Edward) and his brothers, Leo “Sonny”
(Margie), Sterling “Sweet” (Betty), John “Junior”
(Net), and Neil (Janet).
The family is extremely grateful to the Victorian Order of
Nurses for their many excellent home care workers (CCAs) and nurses,
including Jim’s favourite’s – they know who they are. We cannot say
thank you appropriately enough to the doctors, nurses and staff of
CEHHC for their superb care of Jim in these last few years,
and especially in his final days and hours. If so desired, donations
in Jim’s memory to Canadian Cancer Society or Diabetes
Canada are welcomed.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall –
Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Private messages of
condolence may be sent to the family by viewing Jim’s
