In Loving Memory
With a heavy heart I had to say goodbye to my best friend and the love of my life, Shirley Lamont Nixon age 73 of Kingston passed peacefully at home. He is the youngest son of the late Russell and Thelma (Daniels) Nixon. He is survived by his loving wife Linda of 50 years. Sons, Jason (Trina), East Bay; Troy, Kingston and daughter, Karen, Truro. His grandchildren were his pride and joy Pyper, Bentley, Blakeley Matheson and Liam Nixon. He is also survived by his brother, Philip, Hammons Plains, sister-in-law, Gloria Nixon, Ernestine Locke brother-in-law, Edwin (Gwen) Locke and many nieces and nephews. As well as his childhood best friend Wayne and Marie Sheridan.

He worked as a municipal clerk treasurer for multiple municipalities in Nova Scotia, including Middleton, Mahone Bay, Liverpool and 21 years in Guysborough. The later part of his career he was an Administrator for Milford Haven Home for Special Care in Guysborough. Once he retired, we enjoyed traveling and spending time with our children and grandchildren. He was an avid knitter and was always making socks and mittens for family and extended family.
