Whiteside (Laidlaw), Evelyn “Marie” – Marie passed away peacefully in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, on November 30, 2017, in her 68th year, having battled pancreatic cancer since August.
She was predeceased by her parents, Bob and Evelyn Laidlaw, and grandson, Nathanael. Marie is survived by her brother, David (Brenda), and her sister, Joyce (Rob). She is sadly missed by her loving husband, Richard “Rick”, having celebrated 49 years of marriage in August. They are the parents of three sons, Rob (Heidi), children Tatianna, Connor; Jason (Denise), children Caleb, Ben, Hannah, Julia; and Greg (Meagan), children Jonah, Angelia, Elyse. She is also lovingly remembered by many extended family members.
Alongside her husband, she served the Lord faithfully in Canada (Ontario, Newfoundland, Manitoba), the United States (Georgia, Missouri) and the Republic of Belarus (Ratamka, Minsk), filling many positions in fruitful Christian service. With a myriad of talents, as a young teenager she played piano in church, then excelled as a teacher and mentor, and crafting in her spare time. Many wonderful tributes attesting to her gracious nature, unconditional love, winning smile, and warm hugs have flowed throughout social media from friends literally around the world. Her final wishes included cremation and her ashes to be placed near a chapel in northern Ontario, a place where she communed closely with God as a teenager. Throughout her final days in hospital, she was an encouragement to the staff, spreading cheer to everyone who visited her. In her honour, a memorial service will be held on January 20, 2018.
Arrangements are under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative, Upper Musquodoboit.
