WEATHERBEE, Rita
Whitney Pier
Our beautiful Mother (Nanny, Nana, Sister) passed away
peacefully on Friday morning August 11, 2017, in the Northside
Community Guest Home.
She was predeceased by her parents, Pasquale and Theresa
(Massimello) Spinazzola and her loving husband of 68 years,
Trueman.
Besides taking care of her five children, she worked at
Archie Nathasons, Kmart, Weight Watchers and Swift Canadian. Rita was
a very social and active person all of her life. At special functions,
she was always the life of party, dancing the night away. Mom always
enjoyed everything she did including, line dancing, playing darts,
aerobics, walking and doing activities to stay fit until she was about
85 years old. Mom and Dad camped at Ben Eoin for more than 40 years.
Rita resided for the last two years at the Northside Community Guest
Home, where she was cared for in a loving and respectful
manner.
Mom will be forever loved and missed by her daugthers, Carol
Mitchell, Shirley Collins (Dennis), Evelyn (Greg) Baldwin and Judy
Allen and son, George (Donna), as well as her very special and caring
nephew, Wayne Weatherbee. She will be missed by her sisters, Mary
Chicorelli, Ramona (Mabbie) Landry and Theresa (Alex) Ferguson and
brother, Patsy (Marilyn) Spinazzola (Smith). She is also survived by
her 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents and her husband, Trueman, Rita was
predeceased by sisters, Netta MacIsaac and Angelina DeGaust,
brothers, Gino, Pordena, Pino, and Orlando, as well as her sons-in-law
Gerry Collins and Howie Allen.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be family visitation
only. Funeral service will take place Wednesday August 16, 2017, at 10
a.m. in St. Alban’s Anglican Church, with Rev. Reg MacDonald
officiating. Interment in Forest Haven Memorial
Gardens.
Memorials may be made to the Northside Community Guest Home
or charity of choice.
