Kenneth Arthur Whelan
July 19, 1946 – June 9, 2022
It’s with heavy heart we announced the sudden passing of Kenneth Arthur Whelan on June 9, 2022. Our
husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. Born on July 19,1946 in Pilley’s Island,
Newfoundland. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife Christine of 51 years, his children
Angela (Dartmouth,NS), Bonnie (Quinton)( Sharbou, ON), Anita (West Arichat, NS), Terrance
(Tammy) (Eckville,AB), three grandchildren Ashley, Kelly and Kayla. He was predeceased by
parents Jim and Nellie Whelan, brothers Byron, Don and sisters Rita and Audrey and
granddaughter Dakota. He will sadly be missed by Margaret (Bill) and brother Edmund (Joan)
his tended family including his in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.
Kenneth worked at Abitibi Price for over 40 years, after retirement he moved to Dartmouth, NS
to be near his family. He was always a part of any event that would include dancing, playing
washers, darts, listening to Newfoundland tunes or a church service back home. Many hours
sitting outside talking to his neighbours, he always had lots of love to share and a heart to give
whether you were family member, a friend, a dog or a cat. With deteriorating strength in the last
couple of years he looked forward to an evening drive or a bus ride, just to be social and take in
the views.
We would like to thank the staff at the Dartmouth General Hospital and Oceanview Seniors
Citizen Complex. Cremation has taken place at the Dartmouth Funeral Home. A celebration of
life will take place on Friday 24th of June, funeral service to take place at a later date in Pilley’s
Island. Memorial Donations can be made to “New home for Floyd Whalen” in Pilley’s Island.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Kenneth Arthur Whelan July 19 1946 June 9 2022..
Death notice for the town of: Dartmouth, Province: Nova Scotia
