Obituary of Irene Isabell Anderson
ANDERSON, Irene Isabell, Age 86 of Halifax, It is with great sadness we announce Irene Anderson passed away peacefully at Melville Gardens on September 5, 2024. Born in Scotland, she was the daughter of the late Edward Wylie Christie and Helen Rennie.
Irene left Scotland in mid 1980s but maintained contact with friends and family and was proud of her Scottish heritage. She loved traveling and thought nothing of getting on a plane to fly from Halifax to London, England, and on to Cornwall on a long weekend to see Heather and Casey when they were living there. Irene also enjoyed taking road trips to the Annapolis Valley and to Eagles fields to go birdwatching with her binoculars.
Irene enjoyed a variety of different types of music including Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, country music, and traditional Scottish music. Irene was an animal lover. She had many cats throughout her life and enjoyed her visits with her grand dogs. She was fond of a good lobster dinner, Lindor Chocolates, and chocolate oranges.
Irene was adventurous and enjoyed whale-watching, fishing, going to the swimming pool (even if she couldn’t swim), and playing badminton. She enjoyed attending auctions, going shopping, or playing a game of darts or cards. She loved flowers and her gardens at the house in Eastern Passage.
Irene is survived by her daughters, Heather (Casey) Burns and Patti (Gino) MacAulay; stepsons, Brian (Christa) Davis and David (Debby) Davis; grandchildren, Taylor (Adam) MacAulay and Sara MacAulay; step-grandchildren, Matthew Davis, Spencer Davis, Olivia McDonald-Davis, and Chelsa (Brandon) MacLean; great-grandchildren Paisley Davis, Harvey MacLean, and Briar MacLean. She was predeceased by her husband, Sam Anderson in 1969; partner, Aubrey Davis in 2023.
Arrangements and cremation has been entrusted to J. Albert Walker Funeral Home, 149 Herring Cove Road, Halifax. In keeping with Irene’s wishes there will be no visitation, or funeral service. The Family invites you to remember and celebrate Irene privately.
