Keltie Anne Louise Donnellan
1956-2023
Keltie
Donnellan, 66, of Port Williams, passed away peacefully on Friday,
February 10, 2023 after a valiant battle with cancer. She will be
greatly missed by her husband Rev. Glen Donnellan, son Jeremy,
grandson Caleb, and daughter-in-law Melissa. She is also survived by
her sisters, Elizabeth Lamond, Linda Stubbs, Shelley Dollemont and
Colleen Leadley; as well as 16 nieces and nephews and 20 great nieces
and nephews.
Keltie
was predeceased by her parents, Wilfred and Eileen Stubbs; brothers,
Bruce Stubbs and Gordon Stubbs; sister Carmen Tait; and niece Jennifer
Myers.
The most
important thing in Keltie’s life was her faith and relationship with
God. She would tell you that the only reason she was who she was is
because she would allow His light to shine through her daily. She was
a licensed minister with the United Pentecostal Church. In 2004,
Bishop Glen Donnellan and Keltie started New Life Ministries, which is
still active today. She was also very active in the Nova Scotia
district with supporting ladies Ministries. In her final days her
faith was inspiring to all – that even in her brokenness she could
only sing of the Goodness of God.
Keltie’s
spirit transcended all areas of her life. Her long and steadied
nursing career was a true passion. For her, nursing was a calling, an
artform that allowed the individual she cared for to maintain their
sense of self, dignity and their own uniqueness – she was the nurse
you wanted. Yet, she was much more than a good nurse, she was an
educator, a leader and a mentor for all. She was humble, she did not
speak about the awards or accolades that were showered upon her and
hence we will not mention them here. She quietly and with dignity
carried herself in such a professional manner that sometimes you never
realized what you just learned until after she left your side. Perhaps
her greatest legacy, other than her family, is the mark she has left
on her second home and love, Inpatient Psychiatry at Valley Regional
Hospital. From her improvements to patient care, through best
practices for treatment and policy making, or setting up safety and
educational programs that took place over the years. But, beyond all
this Keltie’s greatest accomplishment is the league of better nurses
she has left behind to carry on her teachings. She was dedicated
beyond belief, and we are forever touched by our angel on earth, and
now in heaven.
Keltie
favorite pastime was sitting on the sidelines watch her Bulldogs play
football or on the court watching the Blue Devils play basketball. She
loved watching and supporting Caleb and his teammates, they could do
no wrong and win or lose she was always proud of them. They were all
truly family to Keltie. Her favorite time of year was the three weeks
she would spend at her trailer on Miller Lake Island where she worked
as camp nurse. She loved her three Donnellan men fiercely and without
boundaries. One of her fondest memories in her final days was the
amount of joy and happiness she felt when all three of her Donnellan
men walked into her room at Valley Regional Hospital on Christmas Eve
night to spend time with her.
Special
thanks to Debbie Muise who tirelessly came in nightly to help Keltie
with her needs and to the doctors and nurses of Valley Regional
Hospital – Medical B Unit. We will forever be grateful for the care
you gave Keltie; we were truly touched by each one of you. Thank you
all.
