Dolores Lannon
1934-2017
Lannon (Watters), Dolores Ruth, R.N., “Nan”
Age 83, passed away peacefully Dec.
4th, 2017 at home in Halifax, in the loving
hands of her caretakers after a long battle with
Alzheimer’s. Born March 23, 1934 in Sydney, NS,
Dolores was the daughter of the late James “Cecil” and Mary
Margaret “Mae” (nee MacAurther) Watters.
Dolores will be remembered as a caring wife, mother,
grandmother, sister, and aunt. She graduated high school from Holy
Angels Convent (1952) in Sydney and went on to graduate from St.
Martha’s Hospital School of Nursing (1955) in Antigonish,
NS. A dedicated and caring nurse, her career included
working in Boston, Mass., Montreal, Que. and Halifax, NS where she
would meet her husband while working at the Halifax
Infirmary. She would leave nursing and become a homemaker
and wonderful cook to her two “boys”; husband Stan and son
John. She dabbled in painting, enjoyed antiquing and loved
playing with the family dogs; our adopted Golden Retriever,
“Kimmie”, being her favourite.
Dolores is survived by her son John (Darlene),
step-grandchildren Stephan and Michael Desfosses, sister Karen Laprise
(Michel), Sister-in-Law Regina, and several nieces and
nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Dr. Stan Lannon, her
sister Eileen Doggett and brothers Jimmy and Winston
Watters.
Special thanks go out to the many “Newfoundland
Ladies” that cared for her over the years. One in
particular deserves a tremendous amount of recognition.
Gloria tended to “Nan” for more than 10 years extending her
quality of life in an extraordinary number of ways. Your
dedication, loyalty, quality of care and professionalism will never be
forgotten. Thank you very much Gloria.
It was her wish to be cremated. Burial to occur alongside
Stan, at Dermot McGettigan Memorial Cemetery, in Southeast Placentia,
NL. Date and time of the inurnment to be announced at a later
date.
In lieu of flowers please send donations to The
Alzheimer’s Society.
