| Hodder | Catherine Arlene (Power) Hodder | Cape Breton Post | 04/11/2009 | Catherine 'Kay' Power, Alder Point Born at Mill Creek , Nova Scotia , Canada Catherine Arlene (Power) Hodder, 55, of Alder Point passed away on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2009, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney. Known to those who loved her simply as Kay, she was born in Mill Creek, Point Aconi, to proud parents Daniel ‘Donnie’ Power and Geraldine ‘Gerri’ Devoe. She was delivered by her grandmother (midwife) Anna Devoe. Kay was the first of six children and being the eldest took on the role of caretaker early in life. She worked at a variety of jobs over the years, motivated in part to provide for her infant son when widowed at the tender age of 18. These included the Humpty Dumpty Factory, Neilson’s Chocolate Factory, The Continental Can Company, and Nickerson’s Fish Plant. The last 4 1⁄2 years of her life were her most treasured because of being spent with her grandson Elijah, the light of her life. A devoted mother, grandmother and family member, her family was everything to Kay. A truly unique person; a young woman, but an old soul. Poor of health, but strong of will and determination, Kay was special. Slow to anger, quick to forgive; one to always look for the good in everyone, despite their many flaws. One to offer support when in fact she could have used it herself. One to never complain, despite the multiple reasons she could have. One who never judged or criticized. A kinder, loving person there was not. Kay is survived by her parents, Daniel and Geraldine Power, Alder Point; her two adoring children, son, Devon (Darren) Power, Sydney, and daughter, Angela Hodder, North Sydney, and her pride and joy, grandson, Elijah. Also left to mourn are her sisters, Jeannie (Tex) Stirling, Alberta, Angel (Joey) Bonar, Millville, Laura (Guy) Power, Little Pond; and her brother, Gordon (Sylvia) Power, Alder Point; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Steven Power, husbands, William Cook and Gerald Hodder and brother-in-law, Rickey Carey. There will be no visitation. The funeral mass to celebrate her life will take place Thursday, Nov. 5, 2009, at 10:30 a.m. in St. Anne’s Church, Alder Point, with Fr. Peter MacLeod officiating. The burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery, Bras d’Or. Words of comfort may be sent to the family at jmjobesfuneralhome@ns.aliantzinc.ca. |

Born Susan Marsh Blanchard in Halifax, N.S., June 16, 1944, to Henry Blair Blanchard and Mary Eleanor Marsh, she lived her early years in Truro, NS. Following the death of her father, her mother remarried and the family moved to Cape Breton where she completed her early education, graduating from Sydney Academy as Head Girl in 1962. Susan continued her education at Mount Allison, Sir George William, Dalhousie and the University of British Columbia. She taught music in the elementary school system for more than 30 years. Susan’s interest in the arts, and music in particular, was fostered and nourished at home. In 1960 her maternal grandmother, Flora Marsh, made this entry in her diary, “Susan is quite a young lady and will be 16 on Wednesday. I’ve just discovered that she has a very beautiful voice. She asked me to play for her and I was amazed at the sweetness and breadth of her tone and she told me she is anxious to take singing lessons.” Susan studied voice with Mae Cameron in Sydney and, as a young adult, with Bernard Diamant in Montreal. Her home for the past 35 years was Powell River on the west coast of British Columbia, a city recognized for its international choral festival. Susan sang with the Powell River Chorus and the Malaspina Singers, directed a youth choir and performed in recitals with musical friends. Earlier this year Susan was honoured at the Powell River Festival of the Performing Arts when she was presented with the David Pike Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to the arts. Susan was a keen reader with a special interest in Canadian literature, loved movies, the theatre and all aspects of the arts. She was an opera buff and travelled regularly to performances in Victoria and Vancouver and eagerly anticipated the next simulcasts from the Met. Susan is survived by her devoted husband, Nick Hoekstra; loving daughters, Caroline (Jeff Stekman)(grandson Carter James), Powell River, Jennifer (Mike Sandberg), Victoria; her dearest siblings, Stephen (Debbie Corkum), Nancy (Andrew MacInnis) and Nora (George Fraser); her aunt, Mary Blanchard; nephews, Drummond, Peter and Jock Fraser and Simon Corkum; cousins, Pam Marsh, Jane McCarthy, Taylor and Robert Carr, Jonathan and Megan Blanchard; and the family of the late John R. MacDonald. She was predeceased by her parents and by her stepfather, Gordon ‘Scotchie’ MacDonald, who was a wonderful provider of love and guidance throughout her life. Susan’s life and the positive way she dealt with her illness was an inspiration to everyone. Her family is deeply saddened by her death; she will be forever cherished, remembered and loved. A memorial celebration will be held on August 5, 2009, at the Powell River Academy of Music. Condolences may be sent to hoekstra@shaw.ca. “My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.” |

| Hogan | Reverend Andrew Hogan | 04/10/2002 | Margaret Karrer | The death occurred Wednesday, April 10, 2002, of the Reverend Andrew Hogan, priest of the Diocese of Antigonish. Father Hogan died after a long illness at the Halifax Regional Rehabilitation Centre, Cole Harbour. Fr. Hogan was born in Glace Bay, the son of Andrew and Mary (MacNeil) Hogan. He received his early education in Glace Bay, graduating in 1941 from St. Anne’s High School. After working for a year as a coal miner, Fr. Hogan attended St. F.X. University, Antigonish and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He entered Holy Heart Seminary for his theological studies and priestly training. He was ordained to the priesthood June 12, 1949 by Archbishop John T. McNally in Halifax. Fr. Hogan was appointed to the staff of St. F.X. University in September following ordination, where he initially taught religion and Latin and coached hockey and football. He is credited with bringing Canadian football to the Antigonish campus. Fr. Hogan was subsequently assigned to the areas of sociology and economics at the University. He did graduate studies in sociology and economics, having Masters degrees in both disciplines. He won - but because of a prior commitment did not accept - a scholarship from St. Louis University for doctoral study in sociology. He later pursued doctoral work in economics at University of British Columbia. When Fr. Hogan returned from St. Louis he was assigned to the Extension Department where he worked in the social and economic fields on issues particular to the industrial area of Cape Breton. He was asked to head up the People’s school which consisted in part of radio and television programs and a labour school which focused principally on local social and economic issues in industrial Cape Breton. In 1973, Fr. Hogan was assigned on loan to St. Mary’s University, Halifax. In 1974, Fr. Hogan was asked to run in the Federal Election for the New Democratic Party. He agreed and entered the election campaign with the same vigor and determination which had characterized every assignment he had accepted. He won and became the first priest elected to the Parliament of Canada. Fr. Hogan was a well-known person locally, nationally and internationally. He was a scholar, activist, sociologist, economist, educator and politician. But above and before all, he was a priest! During his priestly life, Father Hogan never hesitated to accept short-term appointments when his schedule permitted, to fill in on weekends and summers to allow other priests some time off. He ministered on this basis in Baddeck, Antigonish, Mulgrave, Inverness and New Aberdeen. Besides his parents, Fr. Hogan was predeceased by two brothers, John and Aloysius and three sisters, Sadie, Sr. Johanna (Sisters of Charity) and Rita. Fr. Andy is survived by brothers Joe (Mabel), and Steve (Rosella), Glace Bay; and sister, Monica (Phil) Reid, Saint John, N.B. Also many nieces and nephews.

Jerry was born in Brockton, Mass., in 1955, the son of the late Jeremiah James Holland II, also a fiddler and Jeanette (Jean) Holland, both Canadian emigrants.

Jerry quickly established his distinguished sound and went on to win numerous contests throughout his childhood. By his teens, Jerry immigrated to Cape Breton, where his musicianship and inspiration helped usher in an entire generation of young players. Jerry’s recording career began with his Rounder Records release in 1976 and continued right up until the time of his passing. Jerry also published two volumes of original and traditional fiddle tunes. Jerry is survived by his son, Jerry Holland Jr., Georges River; his sisters, Ann (Frank Hall) Holland, Brockton, Mass., and Pierrette Godbout Corbiel, Montreal, Que.

Stricken two years ago with an internal malady, Mrs Holmes some time ago underwent a critical operation in the Victoria General hospital, Halifax. For a time she seemed to be improving somewhat, but of late her condition began to fail and while her death was not altogether unexpected, it comes as a sad and distressing shock to her immediate family and a very wide circle of friends. A daughter of Mr and Mrs Daniel Ferguson, Murphy’s street, who not long ago celebrated their fifty seventh wedding anniversary, Mrs Holmes’ death is the first in one of Glace Bay’s most highly respected families. Possessing a charming and lovable disposition, Mrs Holmes was the ideal wife and mother, neighbor and friend. Next to her devotion to her home and family was her zealous interest in her church. An adherent of St Paul’s Presbyterian church all her lifetime, she was a willing worker in all the women’s societies of that church until illness compelled her to relinquish the many duties she had so well filled. She was also a valued member of Jubilee Rebekah Lodge for over 30 years, being a Past Noble Grand of that lodge as well as also being a Past President of the Past Noble Grand Club. Besides her husband, Parker Holmes, widely known engineer of the S & L Railway and prominent sportsman, she is survived by one daughter, Katherine Holmes, R.N., who nursed her mother in her last illness, and four sons all in Glace Bay, Fred, Donald, Stetson and Douglas. Surviving also are her aged parents, Mr and Mrs Daniel Ferguson, Murphy street, three sisters and two brothers. The sisters are Mrs Gregor McPherson, (Belle), Glace Bay; Mrs Percy Johnson, (Katie) in Medicine Hat, Alberta and Mrs Guy E Leslie (Chris), who resides in Montreal; and who is at present too ill to attend the obsequies of her sister.

| Huntington | Merrill MacKenzie Huntington | Cape Breton Post | 24/10/2008 | Merrill MacKenzie Huntington 1937-2008 - Born in Cape Breton to the late Fred Huntington and Barbara (MacKenzie) Huntington. On Wednesday, Oct.15, 2008, Merrill lost his courageous battle with prostate cancer. Merrill worked outdoors most of his adult life, but it was the Sydney Steel plant he left in 1967 when he moved to Toronto with his wife and baby son to find a better life for his family. He attended the Devry technical institute for two years to obtain his technical certification before taking a job as a line worker for Bell Canada. Merrill loved this job, and remained a line worker until his retirement from Maritime Telegraph and Telephone in 1999. In 1974 Nova Scotia called him home and he returned to Dartmouth with his wife and two children, a daughter having joined his family during his time 'down the road'. Merrill always loved the outdoors, particularly hunting and fishing. Golf was a fond pastime also, especially with his friends and men from the company who were all always ready to have a laugh at each other's expense. Music was a passion for Merrill his entire life, and during his later years he discovered the joy of performing and playing guitar and singing. This brought a number of new and great friends into Merrill's life. Merrill looked forward every year to the summer months when he would spend time on the Mira where he had his cabin looking over the river. Merrill was a friend of Bill for the past 28 years. His friends and family will attest to his sense of humour, specifically his sense of mischief in the presence of authority. If friends and family would talk, many others would well shake their heads in amazement. His sense of fun aside, Merrill always, always put his family, friends (several of whom were family to him), and even strangers before himself. He was an active participant in the special needs support groups, spending his weekends at the bowling alley with the people who enjoyed this so much. Merrill is survived by Viola Huntington (Olie MacKinnon), his beloved wife and partner in life of 45 years; his daughter, Laurel Ann; his son, Clifford and wife Julie; his two granddaughters, Tahlia and Riley; and his best friend Earl Hodgson and wife Jane. Merrill is also survived by brothers and sisters, Lorna Stuckless, Lowell and wife Helen, Lyndon and partner Catherine; sister in-law, Sharon; and too many nieces and nephews to count here. Merrill was predeceased by his brother, Terrence. Merrill will be missed terribly by all of us, but we will always be thankful for the time he shared with us. His family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the kind people who gave such good care to Merrill during his illness. To the staff and the Palliative care unit in 7a at the VG hospital, the people at the Red Cross, the people at the VON, and his personal physician and oncologist. Thank you so much for your compassion and your efforts to give Merrill's last days as much dignity and comfort as was humanly possible. Merrill's children wish to also say thank you to the family and friends who provided so much support for Merrill and Viola during this terribly difficult time. We invite you to join us in celebrating Merrill's life on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Centennial Branch Legion Branch 160, 703 Main St., Dartmouth from 2-6 p.m. We would ask that Merrill's musical friends please bring their instruments and singing voices. No flowers by the family's request. If you so wish please consider either donations Support Services Group (SSG), 10 Dundas St., Dartmouth, 466 0230, or your local food bank. | 15/10/2008 | Born in Cape Breton | ||
