It is with great sadness and much love that we, the family,
announce the passing of Leona Borden, age 68, as she went to her
eternal home with the Lord, on Sunday, September 11,
2022.
Left behind to mourn her passing are her husband, Norman, her
daughter Marsha, her sons, Chris and Wayne. She was predeceased by her
father, Stephen Wheeler, Marjorie Benoit and her brother Stanley
Wheeler. She is survived by her sisters, Eileen (John), Linda (John
and Philip), Doreen (Bob), Debbie (Willy); survived by her brothers;
Joe (Jeannine), Herman (Olive), Nolen, Bernard (Caroline) and by her
grandchildren.
Leona was very caring and loving and would remember family
birthdays and special events that took place within the family and was
always available for advice and support. Family members
could always count on receiving birthday and anniversary cards from
her.
One of Leona’s many talents was that of a great
cook and wonderful baker. Whether it was a recipe she came across or
one of her very own home-grown meals and desserts, she had a way of
making food taste so delicious. Now she has the opportunity
to be one of God’s great cooks in heaven’s
kitchen.
We would like to thank Leona’s caregiver Tillie for
her untiring and loving 24-hour care that she provided since May,
2022. She truly was a God send.
Funeral mass will be at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 15,
2022 at St. Lawrence Roman Catholic Church, 28 Church Street,
Mulgrave, NS, with Fr. Allan MacPhie officiating. Burial to
follow in the parish cemetery.

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Leona Mary Wheeler Borden 1954 2022..
