| Smith | Anabelle 'Cookie' (English) Smith | Cape Breton Post | 26/11/2009 | Anabelle 'Cookie' Smith, Glace Bay Born at Whitney Pier , Nova Scotia , Canada “Be Merciful even as your Father is Merciful” LK 6:36 We are so heartbroken to announce the passing of our loving mother Annabelle, the best friend we could ever ask for. She passed away peacefully Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2009, surrounded by her children who poured out unconditional love to her. Annabelle was a daughter of the late Edmund and Sophie (MacKinnon) English. Born and raised in Whitney Pier, she later moved to reside in Glace Bay, where she raised her family. A very strong-spirited woman, she always maintained strength through her faith. “Everybody in life has a cross to bear, some heavier than others. When you think you can’t carry anymore the Lord carries for you”. Mom was our Rock - her strength, her love and her heart were given to us all. Her life was dedicated to her family; always placing her needs last. She always told us children that we were closest to her heart. A very strong-willed and private lady, she gave because she wanted to give; never expecting anything in return. Everything came sincerely from the heart. Her morals and values are instilled in her children today; and hopefully, will carry into future generations. We love you mom. An avid quilter; each stitch done with love to those who received; she loved to garden and always thought “weeds are an endangered species.” During her illness, she took strength in her Rosary and in trying times from her devotion to St. Anthony. She is survived by her only son, Hugh, Jasper, Alta.; daughters, Emeline (Rubin) Forbes and Annabelle (Kevin) Dowe; grandchildren, Jason and Sarabeth Forbes, Cordell and Mitchell Dowe; five great-grandsons; sisters, Emeline Fraser, Catherine Koleszar; brothers, Edmund and Howard English.

Born in Sydney, he was the son of the late Tom and Catherine Smith (MacMullin). Jack was employed with the CBRM for 34 years, retiring in 1999. He then followed his passion for working in the great outdoors by spending parts of each year helping to build a family business in Ontario. His love for River Denys and nature gave him the nickname “Peaceful Warrior” and this peacefulness was felt by all when in his presence. In River Denys, his time was spent preparing his hunting camp, fishing and cooking one hell of a meal for all who entered. Celtic music was a gift his mother gave him and you could find him at many square dances. He spoke fondly of childhood memories in rear Boisdale with his family. His love of hockey and the Red Wings were one of the few things that could make this “man of few words” break into song. Having been with Gordie Howe at a lobster meal 40 years ago and then having been remembered by Gordie during a playoff encounter again last year were highlights for him! Jack leaves behind Margaret Nichols Smith ‘Sister’, his soulmate of 25 years and her children which he raised as his own, Ann-Margaret (Gillis) Williams (Brion), Ontario, Dawn-Marie (Gillis) Mombourquette (Kent), Sydney. Jack leaves behind to mourn his children, Denise Smith (Wes), Trenton, Ont., Deborah Eden (John), Trenton, Ont., Gordon Todd Smith (Julie), Hong Kong, and the mother of his children, Dale Palmer, Sydney. Also left behind are 11 grandchildren, Brodie, Corey, Marlena, Brenden, John Daniel, Kristin, Kathleen, Brienna, Madison, Wesley, and Annelise. Jack is survived by his three siblings, Tommy (Irene), Ontario, Cleta McCulloch (Barry), Mira, and Jeanette Williams (Ron), Sydney; and In-laws, Vera Nichols (the late Dick Nichols), Sookie and David LeBlanc, Cella Duffy, Barbara and Stewart Zahara, Walter and Debbie Nichols and Carmie and Duncan Gillis. The last 20 years of Jack’s life he described as a reprieve and always spoke of feeling blessed to have obtained sobriety. He truly lived his life “One Day at a Time,” always relying on his “Higher Power.” Visitation for the late John ‘Jack’ Smith will take place at the Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church Street), Sunday, Aug. 16 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass to celebrate Jack’s life will be held Monday, Aug. 17, 2009, at 11 a.m. at Holy Redeemer Church with Fr.

Dad was a man of his word, a man whose belief in life was to work hard, be honest and respect others around you. Dad was a very loving, very compassionate and one who always thought of the needs of others before himself. A loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and true friend to all. During the past years, dad took a keen interest in his genealogy and traced his family ancestors for his children and grandchildren to have. Dad was a man who never believed in giving up, he faced his illness with strength and determination. As weak and as tired as he became, he always took part in conversations with his family at his side. He wanted to know what was ongoing in our lives and was very concerned that we were doing well. He will be dearly missed by all who had the honour of knowing him. By his request, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place.

They were both graduates of Acadia University in Nova Scotia. Curry served as a Chaplain with the Canadian Army in the First World War and with the American military in the Pacific during World War II. Beatrice taught English, French and Library Science for many years. The couple retired to Nanaimo in 1963 and resided at 555 Vancouver Avenue. Beatrice enjoyed artwork with the Bowen Park Seniors program, caring for her cats, bridge, charity work and maintaining correspondence with her many friends and extended family across North America. She was the daughter of Kenneth Murdoch Innes and Marie Rudolph and was born 105 years ago in Sydney, Nova Scotia but grew up in the Truro area. She is survived by her nephews David and Kenneth Innes and many great nieces and nephews including Jennifer and Allison Innes who were particularly dear to her. At the age of 96 Beatrice reluctantly accepted that she could no longer live as independently as she wished and moved to the Kiwanis Village on Grant Avenue. She is very grateful to the many staff members and administrative personnel for their individual attention and thoughtful and consistent care over the past ten years. Beatrice was also appreciative of the medical attention she received from Dr. Baird and for the guidance and legal assistance of Peter Giovando. She will be missed and fondly remembered as an intelligent and gifted person who lived life on her own terms and without compromise. Special friends include Susan Innes, Michael O'Toole and Barbara Cowling. Remembered as well are the many volunteers with Meals on Wheels, Reading for Seniors and The Pet Visiting program whose selfless work and kind attention enriched and brightened her declining years. Also thanks to Catherine Lowe for attending to many of her personal needs and requests over many years. Beatrice was always very involved with the world around her and her mind and memory remained agile and keen long after her body had failed her. She possessed tremendous spirit and when her sight failed she became a great fan of radio broadcasts of the Canucks and Blue Jays games. Beatrice and Curry lived modestly and managed their affairs so as to leave their Estate to be divided amongst the Nanaimo SPCA, Acadia University and the local Museum Society for the Region in Nova Scotia from whence they hailed. Their legacy will be a significant one and hopefully an inspiration to others. According to her specific wishes there will be a simple graveside committal at the Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens on Wednesday, September 20th at 2:00 PM. Family and friends are welcome to attend. Beatrice will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband and God grant that they will have eternal peace and never be separated again.
