Florence Evelyn (Goodwin) Fuller – of
Kentville, formerly of Avonport, passed away on Saturday, December 16,

her immediate family. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband of 44

Islands. After grade 9, she went to live with her aunt and uncle in
Pictou, Nova Scotia, to complete her high school. She went back to the
Magdalen Islands for the summers. After grade 12, Evelyn went to
Halifax Business School, Pictou Branch. She learned business at an
early age from working in her father’s store in Grand Entry
on the weekends. She had been employed with CBC for 10 years and was
responsible for preparing Farmers and Fisheries Broadcasts each day.
On September 1, 1962 she married Burpee Fuller and moved to Ontario
where they each worked for the Federal Government for over 30 years in
Ottawa and London, Ontario. Following their retirement they moved to
Avonport, Nova Scotia near the family farm Burpee had grown up on.
They had many wonderful years there enjoying organic produce from
their gardens. Aunt Evelyn was a wonderful aunt; always so kind and
thoughtful to others. She always put others before herself. In October
2016 Evelyn was presented with her Torch Bearers Ritual from ETA
Master Chapter. This is the final degree that signifies a long
commitment to the ideals of Beta Sigma Phi. In November 2016 Evelyn
