great-grandmother and sister.
Julia lived most of her life in Canso, where she raised her
family of 9 children. She enjoyed knitting and we will all cherish the
items we have to remember her by and to have them to pass to the next
generation along with the memories of the kind and understanding
person she was to all. Spending time with family was time treasured by

and rock them was a tradition we were all happy to partake
in.

grandchildren; 38 great-grandchildren and her 1 great
great-grandchild. Surviving siblings are Elizabeth (Eric) Foster; John

now reunited with her husband of 72 years, Jim; her daughter, Hilda
and son-in-law, Bob Bland; her son, Percy; grandson, Kirk (Bent); her
