years, passed away on Sunday, September 1, 2024, at Colchester East
Hants Health Centre, Truro, after an 11 year journey of fighting

Bernadette never let her diagnosis stop her from enjoying her
life to the fullest. She was a selfless woman who always thought of
others before herself, and always entered a room with her beautiful
contagious smile that would brighten anyone’s
day.

with the growth of her six grandchildren, very rarely missing any
major events that they would be participating in. She was extremely
involved in their lives and would drop anything to be supportive in
their endeavours.
Bernadette liked to keep active herself and would always be
seen walking throughout the community; she loved to play volleyball
along with other various activities, including playing cards,
specifically Bridge. She always had her thing with numbers as she
worked for Statistics Canada for 30 plus years and received her
education through Nova Scotia Agricultural College and finished her
studies at University of Guelph in Ontario.
In her downtime, she loved to read and travel throughout the
world where she was always able to share her experiences with her
family and friends. She was loved by so many people and strived to
keep bonds with friends.
