She was predeceased by her loving husband of 52 years, the late George A. Samson. Clara May was a special and devoted mother, wife, teacher, grandmother, sister, and friend. She always enjoyed helping others. Her magnetic personality and humble nature were rare gifts that touched the hearts of many people. She easily and quickly made friends and left a lasting impression. During her six year battle with cancer, she courageously sought a miraculous cure. At 80 years of age, she frequently traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. This demonstrated her incredible desire to live, which mystified the medical profession. Her perseverance and faith in God helped her to overcome the insurmountable obstacles encountered. In 1944 she graduated from Normal College with a teaching certificate. For many years, she was a part-time student at St. FX University while teaching full-time and raising a young family. She successfully completed her Masters Degree in Education. At age 16, prior to her post secondary education, she taught primary to Grade 10 in Margaree Forks. This was the beginning of 46 years of dedication to the teaching profession. Numerous former students have expressed their admiration and appreciation for her positive contributions to their lives. In 1953, she became one of the founding members of the St. Joseph's CWL and continued to be a member until her death. She loved reading, playing cards with friends, traveling, and "bingo" was her favourite word. Most importantly, she enjoyed spending time with her family and was an excellent listener and mentor. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Blair (Patricia), Andre (Lorna), Leo (Arlene), Edgar (Laurie), Jacinta (Art), all of Petit de Grat; Darrell (Faye), Halifax; Georgette (Vaughan), Arichat.

| Samson | Sister Anne Samson | Cape Breton Post | 03/12/2004 | Carol MacLean | SAMSON, I. J. (SR. CECILE-MARIE) - Sister Anne Samson passed away at the Provincial House of Les Filles de Jesus, 553 Elmwood Drive, at the respectable age of 113 and in her 87th year of religious profession. According to the latest studies, she was the eight oldest person on the planet. Born in Riviere-Bourgeois, NS, on Feb. 27, 1891, she was the daughter of Thomas Samson and Philomene Bourque. She has survived her five sisters, and four brothers. However, she has nieces and nephews who have expressed the wish to assist at her funeral. Sister Anne made her Normal School in Truro around 1912. She then taught on Cape Breton Island, mostly in Poulamond, on Isle Madame. At the age of 24, she entered the novitate at Trois-Rivieres and became Fille de Jesus in 1917. Sr. Anne spent her teaching career in Arichaat (23 years) and Cheticamp (seven years). From 1947 on, her health some what failing her, she had to quit teaching and take a time of rest. In as much as her strength allowed her, she filled various offices in Trois-Rivieres, Nash Creek, Dalhousie and Moncton. She took her retreat at the Provincial House in Moncton in 1967. No one would have guessed that she would have such a long retreat. In 1991, she celebrated her 100th birthday, and we had the joy of having her with us 13 more years. At times, she wondered if the Good Lord had not forgotten her on this earth. Sr. Anne was very talented and composed poems and songs for different occasions, some even after her 100th birthday. However, from 1986 on, she was unable to walk due to a hip fracture. And since 2003, she was bedridden. She was called to meet her Saviour on Monday, November 29, 2004. The remains rested Wednesday from 2-9 pm at the Provincial House, 553 Elmwood Drive, Moncton, from where the funeral mass was held at 11 am. on Thursday December 2, 2004. Interment in Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery, Dieppe. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Frenette Funeral Home, 88 Church Street, Moncton. (858-1900) www.frenettefuneralhome.com | |||

Born in New Waterford, she was a daughter of the late Hans and Petrine (Pedersen) Holm. Karen was born on Wood Avenue in 1922. At the age of eight her family moved to 'Maple Hill.' She began her musical career at the tender age of four. Her older brother Gordon taught her to play piano, accordion, mandolin and banjo. Later, with her sister Gloria, she learned to tap dance as a pupil of Doris MacDonald. In her early 20s, Karen again followed her brother into the Canadian Army and was stationed in numerous locations. After the Second World War she served overseas, during the occupation of Germany, as a police woman at Nazi trials. While overseas, Karen met Stewart B. Shaw who later became her husband. Married in 1946, the couple moved to the town of Arnprior, in the Ottawa Valley where they resided for nine years. During daylight hours they owned and operated Mainview Photo Studio. Karen also became a member of the well-known orchestra, 'Mac Beattie and the Ottawa Valley Melodiers,' and performed several times a week at various venues including CFRA Radio. Somewhere between photography and music she also found time to be Girl Guide commissioner. Karen returned to her hometown of New Waterford in 1956 with baby, Elizabeth (Betty).

Mom was an honorary lifetime member of Cape Breton Professional Musicians Association Local No. 355 and was a longtime member of the Everett Cann Orchestra. Mom really enjoyed working and 'playing' in her numerous flower beds and had a real love for the many birds that she fed year round. Being a very spiritual person, Mom had deep respect for God and His written Word, the Bible. After several years of Bible study she was happy to become a baptized member of the Glace Bay Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. From 1972 until her passing she always thought it a privilege to share her knowledge of the Bible and her hope for the future with friends and neighbours.

Sadie was born on May 01, 1919 and expired at Glace Bay General hospital. Sadie was the daughter of the late Joseph Currie and Sarah MacIntyre of the Sterling and attended St. Anne's Parish and school and (the old) Glace Bay High. She was the beloved sister to the late Allie, Dannie, Peter Currie and Kay Currie (Wadden). Sadie Shaw was an active and vibrant parishioner of St. John the Baptist Parish in new Aberdeen. Over the years she led a leading role in the parish and parish/school development and was for a number of terms president and vice-president of the Catholic Women's League (C.W.L.) and she actively took a leading role in the hosting, preparation and carrying out of the Regional C.W.L. Diocesan Convention at St. John parish - the first for the Parish. A number of years ago she received a C.W.L. pin for 25 years of service. She represented the Parish ont only at the Diocesan C.W.L. conventions but also frequently attended conventions at the Arch-Diocesan level in Halifax, N.S. After many years as president, she assumed the roles of secretary and treasurer and vice-president. She did numerous articles, agendas and reports on the C.W.L. for the Cape Breton Post and the National C.W.L. Monthly. She was also equally active and presided for years in maintaining and recruiting membership for the St. Anne's Sodality. In this capacity she initiated and collaborated in leading the parish in evenings of prayer, afternoons of recollection and recital of the Family Rosary. Following her terms of presiding she was secretary and treasurer. She always saw to it that the elderly and sick members were not forgotten and received cards and special prayers to assure them of the League's/Sodality's support and love. Sadie not only organized but jumped right in when it came to cleaning, scrubbing and polishing the Church and Auditorium for liturgical and social events. She left a tremendous model of faithfulness, hard work and dedication not only to her family but also to her collaborators. It was just a natural part of life for Sadie Shaw to make, purchase and provide clean altar cloths and clergy/altar boy suplies for her parish - her family. In the late 1940's and early 1950's, when a family was economically deprived and suffered the loss of a loved one - especially a child, Sadie was there to help prepare the body for its final resting and to provide for burial necessities and support the family. In later years she assumed an active role in the Ladies Guild and did plenty of embroidery and sewing works for the various functions over the years. Sadie will be fondly remembered for her dedicated work and long hours of cooking and baking for the "Bake Sales" and "Teas" and serving numerous meals at the various weddings. Fall Fairs and extensive fund raisers for the Parish and old Parish Camp. Although tired, she would not leave until she helped wash dishes.

She gave untiringly of her talents and organizational skills and spiritual expertise in her more active years. For Sadie Shaw the Church knew no boundaries. She was a pioneer in the start of the Citizens Service League (Town House); clothing depot and child care. She pioneered with the Warden United Church minister in new Aberdeen to solicit a room for child daycare. This was done in the spirit of Ecumenism. She freely gave of her time and talents and volunteered long hours in the inception of the Citizens Service League, spearheaded collecting clothing for the poor and food and gathered faithful women to give of their time to the Day Care/Child Care freely. She was active in St. Anne's/ St. Michael's home and school and represented St. John's Parish.

As a young lady Sadie (Currie) Shaw studied financial accounting at the Coady Institute of St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish and worked at the Coady Credit Ynion with the late Mike Cambell. She also took courses at the St. Francis Xavier University Estension Department and served her community/world faithfully. Ailing health over the past few years "forced" Sadie to a more passive but important role, She gracefully assumed the role of prayer ministry more intensely and prayed and financially supported her parish family from her home. She was a professed Third Order Carmelite and partook of their many Rosary recitals, Masses and special events. Sadie loved to entertain and share, when she could, her many cooked and baked goods and enjoy a sing-song around the family piano and enjoyed Sister ellen Donovan's frequent home "ceilidhs." She enjoyed her card and bingo games and affiliations with T.O.P.S. and ceramics and her frequent trips and vacations on the lakes at Ben Eoin. In the hospital Sadie was loved by all and was recognized as a woman of total yes to all that came her way, especially this last. She was appreciated and respected as a woman of giving and acceptance with a smile, a woman of Grace. her life reflected her love for her God and her fellow companions.

| Shaw | William ‘Bill’ Simon Shaw, Dr. | Cape Breton Post | 29/08/2009 | Dr. William Shaw, Antigonish Born in 20/10/1924 at Glace Bay , Nova Scotia , Canada With deepest sorrow, Mary Barbara and family announce the death of their beloved husband and father, William ‘Bill’ Simon Shaw. Born in Glace Bay, NS, Bill was the first son of Simon Shaw and Johanna Morrison. He attended St. Anne’s Catholic School, proceeding to St. Francis Xavier University (St. F.X.U.) at the age of 16, earning an Engineering Diploma and a Physics degree in 1945, and there meeting his life long love, Barbara. His studies at X were interrupted briefly in 1944 when he was accepted to the Armed Forces as a Lieutenant for the Pacific Theatre, stationed in Vernon, BC. After the Second World War, Bill studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and completed a PhD in Geoscience. In 1950, Bill and Barbara were married and spent their summer as newlyweds in Joggins, NS, where Bill worked for the Geological Survey of Canada in NS and then in Ottawa, ON, where his two elder children, Harry and Margaret, were born. He was later employed as a petroleum geoscientist for Standard Oil of California in Trinidad, South America, where his two middle children, Joanne and Bill Jr. were born. From Trinidad, Bill moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where Bill partnered with two geoscientists in the consulting firm of Rogers, Seglund and Shaw. With his partners, he pursued petroleum prospects in Louisiana, Texas and Latin America. In Southern Louisiana, two more children were born to the clan – Elizabeth and Edie. In 1967, an offer by St. Francis Xavier University of a full professorship resulted in Bill and family returning to his much loved Nova Scotia. From 1968 to 1995, Bill inspired legions of student geoscientists and engineers who have ventured out into many regions of Canada and international posts. Concurrently, Bill invested his energy in several petroleum and natural resource projects in the Maritime Provinces. In the early 1980s, Bill directly served the people of Nova Scotia as Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, and as a consultant on the Royal Commission for Post-secondary Education. At the federal level, he served on the National Advisory Board on Science and Technology. In Antigonish, Bill served on the St. Martha’s Hospital Board, as president of the Antigonish Highland Society and more. He and other local “thinkers” created a men’s group, the “Romeo’s”,that met to discuss current local and world events. For many years, every Saturday morning, Bill and several dear friends, “the Senate”, met to contemplate solutions to world issues. To his children, he was the consummate father – a source of love, encouragement, and unfailing support; he was the anchor of his family. Bill had a deep passion for sailing, golfing and above all, his wife and partner of 59 years, Barbara. Throughout his life, he personified the spirit of his favorite credo, “Desiderata”, going “placidly amid the noise and the haste”, speaking his “truth quietly and clearly”, and finally “gracefully surrendering” to his leaving. Bill is survived by his loving wife, Mary Barbara (Palmer); his six children, Harry, BC; Margaret (Joseph Chernosky), Maine; Joanne (Louis Plazzer), BC; William (Sandra), Antigonish; Elizabeth (Brian MacGillivray), Antigonish; Edie (Michael Ewald), Halifax; his grandchildren: Adam, Joanna, Peter, Andrew, Luke, Mairi, Emma, Lauchlin and William; his sister, Camilla MacDonald, Glace Bay, and brother-in-law, Currie Palmer, London, Ontario. He was predeceased by his siblings, Clifford, Mildred and Blair. Visitation will be at MacIsaac Funeral Home on Monday, August 31 between 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral services will be at St. Francis Xavier University Chapel, Antigonish on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bill’s memory can be made to the Dr. William S. Shaw Earth Science Scholarship created in Bill’s name for a student pursuing a degree in Earth Science at St. F. X. www.MacIsaacs.ca.
