Violet May (Thompson) Roy
1916-2022
Violet Roy passed away in Kentville on Tuesday,
October 11, 2022, one month after her 106th
birthday. She was the second child born to Sadie and Archie Thompson
in Glencoe, Pictou County. Predeceased by her husband, Thomas Roy;
brothers, James (Alice), Grant (Anna Mae), Hattie (Christine), Wallace
(killed in action WWII, 1943), Lawrence (Margaret) and Jack. Her only
sister, Marguerite (Lloyd Campbell) passed away last year in New
Glasgow at the age of 98.
Vi is survived by her only child, Marilyn
(Gordon) Whiteway; grandchildren, Angela and Michael (Sonya) Whiteway;
and two great-grandchildren, Sophie and Owen Whiteway; as well as many
loving nieces and nephews, and their children and
grandchildren.
Family was always very important to Mum, she
loved to sew, bake cookies, pies and cakes for everyone, and make sure
everyone was well looked after. After Dad (Tom) passed away, she spent
time living with her sister Marguerite and brothers, Hattie, Lawrence
and Jack, then came to Kentville to live with her daughter, Marilyn
(Gord and Angela) in 2015. Mum also enjoyed going to church
– whether it be Presbyterian or United in the East River
Valley, Westville, New Glasgow in Pictou County and finally, Orchard
Valley United in New Minas.
We would like to thank the staff of the Valley
Regional Hospital and Evergreen Home for Special Care for their
excellent care of Mum in the last two years, and Drs. Robert Gunn and
Matthew Targett for attending her.
A Celebration of Vi’s life will be
held at the temporary home of Orchard Valley United Church (County
Fair Mall, New Minas) on Sunday, October 30, 2022 at 2:00 p.m.
Reverend Don Sellsted officiating. Interment will be at a later date
in Auburn Cemetery, Westville, Pictou County.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. On-line
