| Rankin | Donald Alexander Rankin | Cape Breton Post | 30/03/2010 | Donald Rankin Born in: SW Mabou Ridge, Nova Scotia, Canada Born on: 11/07/1913 Passed away in: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Passed away on: 25/03/2010 Donald Alexander Rankin died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Thursday, March 25, 2010 in his 97th year. He was born on SW Mabou Ridge, Mabou, Cape Breton on July 11, 1913. When he was a young person he lived with the village doctor, Dr. Kennedy, after his own father died, and accompanied the doctor on his calls around the countryside (he was pleased as punch to have learned to drive at the age of 12). Donald started his education in a one-room school house and completed degrees at St. Francis Xavier and Queen’s universities. He served overseas in the Canadian Army during the Second World War (where he had the opportunity to visit Scotland for the first time and amaze people that, although he was a Canadian, he was fluent in Gaelic). In 1943 he married Mary Eunice Macdonald. After the war he worked in the Department of Justice and the Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. He had many interesting stories of investigating price fixing in the manufacturing industry, sometimes accompanied by an RCMP officer. During this period he had four daughters, and in 1956 was able to move from an apartment into a new home and there he stayed for the next 48 years. He really loved his house and it was always a meeting place for family and friends. Upon retirement he taught Gaelic, his beloved native tongue, in Alexandria, Ont. He volunteered at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa. He visited his immediate and extended family in British Columbia, Ontario and Cape Breton. His love of Scottish music and traditions involved him in the Fiddler’s Club and Gaelic Society as well as a few more visits to Scotland. He was a fan of the Highland Games and attended any that he could get to. And he loved a little snifter when he was in the company of family and friends. When he moved to West Park Long Term Care in Toronto after an illness, he greatly appreciated all the visits and phone calls he received (and the gifts of Scotch!). Donald was predeceased by his wife, Mary Eunice (Macdonald), his brothers Angus, Johnnie and Kenneth and his sisters, Catherine and Sadie (MacIsaac). He is survived by his four daughters, Loretto Ann, Bernardette (Eric), Catherine and Margaret and two granddaughters, Kala (Alf) and Catherine Rose; his brother-in-law, Hector MacIsaac, and his sisters-in-law, Kay Rankin and Loretto Macdonald; as well as many loved cousins, nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. For his immediate family, words that describe Donald are “unconditional love”, and for family and friends always “a hundred thousand welcomes” and “a good friend, and could he ever tell the stories”. The family would like to thank the staff at West Park Long Term Care in Toronto for their loving care. Friends may pay respects at the Kelly Funeral Home, 2313 Carling Ave. (west of Carlingwood), Tuesday, March 30 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Wednesday, March 31, to St Basil’s Church for Mass of Christian Funeral at 10 a.m. Interment Capital Memorial Gardens. www.kellyfh.ca. |

To say that Jason lived life to the fullest is an understatement. An honours graduate of Riverview High, class of 1998, he was a young man who was deter mined to reach his dreams. His pursuit led him to the four corners of North and South America, from tough jobs in the Alberta oil patch and Inuvik, to hang-glider training in Ontario and Brazil. Jason travelled to learn and focused on his dream of opening his own extreme sports outfitting company. Remarkably, it was Jason's absolute conviction that it could be done here in the Cape Breton Highlands, although he had to work twice as hard to secure the investment needed for a venture on the Island. It is but one small comfort, he died doing something he absolutely loved. Jason was predeceased by his father, Ken (2002).

The Little White Church By Gertrude Reid There’s a little white church at the top of the hill Nestled amongst the pines. Where once was heard God’s Holy Word And where love and peace entwined. In summer surrounded by wild flowers In winter blanketed by snow. Creates a picturesque setting For the little church of long ago. It was built in the year 1837 By the early settlers of the land. To them it was a labor of love By strong and willing hands. You get a feeling of nostalgia Whenever you enter the door. You feel God’s Holy presence there, As in the days of yore. With its quiet and quaint surroundings Its unique pews, carved out by hand. We thank God for the work and dedication Of settlers to this land. Many of its members sleep in the churchyard Beneath the brow of the hill. Where the spirit of God forever lingers O’er a plot that is silent and still. Many folk have left its midst Leaving many fond memories behind, But taking with them fond recollections Of the little white church in the pines. May it stand like the rock of ages Steadfast, faithful and sincere. And may God bless and protect it Throughout its remaining years. An anniversary service is held in the church Each and every year. To pay tribute to the Scottish Settlers And the ones they held so dear. Many changes have taken place Throughout the realms of time, But standing steadfast as a memorial Is the little white church in the pines. |

She will be remembered and cherished for her sharp wit and wonderful sense of humour by those who loved her. Karen was a determined, strong soul, and with the onset of her illness, she became an advocate to those also afflicted with cancer, dedicating her time, empathy and support in any way she could. Karen enjoyed traveling and encountering new experiences, both of which she had the opportunity to take pleasure in during recent years. No matter where she journeyed, Cape Breton always remained in her heart, and it is where she will return to rest.
