| Bent | Phyllis Elizabeth "Betty" BENT | Chronicle Herald | 11/08/2006 | BENT (Farrell), Phyllis Elizabeth "Betty" BENT (Farrell), Phyllis Elizabeth "Betty" - 81, Pictou. It is with great sadness that the family announces the death of their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, on Thursday, August 10, 2006, in the Palliative Care Unit of Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow. Betty was born and raised in North Sydney, and was a daughter of the late Fred and Florence (Hare) Farrell. She was employed with the T. Eaton Company as a young woman and continued to work for the company part-time after her family had grown. Betty also worked as the bookkeeper for her husband Jerry's various businesses throughout their marriage. Mom's first and foremost priority though, was her family. We recall many happy hours spent on Lowden's Beach under the "big" tree, where we were free to explore, swim, picnic and nap the whole day through. Also, we remember her devoted care to each of us during serious illnesses of meningitis, mononucleosis and asthma. Her caring ways extended to the multitude of friends we brought to our welcoming home. Each of her grandchildren hold dear the memories of being very special and important individuals, much-loved by Grandma. Mom enjoyed playing in the ukulele group and she loved to dance. She and Dad spent many enjoyable Saturday nights with friends at the golf club or armouries. Having a fondness for many types of music, Mom tolerated our enthusiasm for the varied shades of rock and roll, and the drumming aspirations of her son, who still can't play the drums. Blessed with a joyful sense of humour, Mom honed her skills over the years, teaching all of us to find the brightest, funniest and most positive aspects of all life's dilemmas. Betty will be fondly remembered and always loved by her husband of 58 years, Gerald T. Bent; daughters, Beverley (Michael) Simmons, Pictou; Judi O'Brien, Kentville; Ley (Wayne) Cheverie, Barney's River; son, Hal (Ruth), Halifax; nine grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; sister, Faye Keeping and brother, Milton (Jean), both of North Sydney; many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by sister, Zenith Caswell; brother, Fred Farrell Jr. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at St. James Anglican Church, Pictou, on Saturday, August 12, at 10 a.m. with Rev. Bill White officiating.

| Daper | Catherine (McInnes) Daper | Crowsnest Pass Promoter | 26/12/2006 | Catherine Daper nee McInnes Catherine Draper passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter in Calgary on December 26, 2006. She was one of 11 children of William and Agnes McInnis, born in Inverness County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia on December 28, 1915. The family moved west in 1916, eventually settling in Bellevue where William found work in the coal mines. Following high school Catherine studied beauty culture at the Beaton Academy in Calgary and then operated her own salon in Bellevue. She was an active participant in community and parish affairs while living first in Bellevue, then in Taber and, finally, in Pincher Creek. She held many executive positions in the CWL and was a lifelong, though far from compliant, member of the Liberal Party. She volunteered at Crestview Lodge, Pincher Creek, Extendicare and Meals on Wheels. Sports, in particular curling, softball and hockey, were an important part of her life. The music and the culture of Cape Breton was integral to her well-being. She came from a family of piano, fiddle and guitar players and passed this love of music on to her children and grandchildren. Although she left Cape Breton as a child, she always maintained contact with relatives and friends there. Her best holidays were the recent trips back to Nova Scotia with members of her family. It is difficult to include all of her attributes and to accurately describe what she meant to her family but perhaps most noteworthy was her continuing interest and pride in the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren whose careers, progress in school and achievements in sports she followed with a keen interest. Their efforts she always rewarded with great love and affection. Catherine will be lovingly remembered by Ralph, her devoted husband of 69 years and by her four children: Carol, Brian, Allan and Colin and by her 12 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. A Celebration of her life was held at St. Michael's Church in Pincher Creek at 1:00 P.M. on Saturday, December 30, 2006 with Father Eric Nelson officiating. Interment in Fairview Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, memorial tributes may be sent in Catherine's memory to World Vision web site at World Vision.Ca or to #1-World Drive, Mississauga, Ontario, L5T2Y4. Eden’s Funeral Home Pincher Creek was in charge of arrangements. Posted on 2007-01-05 | 26/12/2006 | born in Inverness County | ||

Bucky was a loving husband, a great father and grandfather, and most of all a best friend to his loving wife of 45 years, Ruth. He was a fun loving person who was always there when called upon. Bucky displayed a sense of humour that made it fun to be around him. He was able to touch many hearts throughout his short life as was evidenced by the support he received while battling through his illness. A recent quote by his brother, Frankie, sums up the impact that Bucky had on people, "I didn't know Bucky knew so many people. Everywhere I go and introduce myself, people ask, 'Are you Bucky's brother?'" This is a true testament to Bucky's character. Bucky's battle with cancer over the past two years showed his strength and zest for life with his positive attitude while remaining actively involved in his role as a husband, father, grandfather, brother and dear friend. Bucky is survived by his loving wife, Ruth (Clarke); sons, Darren (Lynn MacLellan), Sydney; Ian (Marlene Campbell), Mississauga; daughters, Kim (Shawn MacDonald), Halifax; Nicole (Geir Simenson), Hubley; beautiful grandchildren, Brett, Brianna, Victoria, Kyle, Alex and Ryan, all whom worshipped their Poppy for his kindness and laughter.

Bucky was predeceased by parents, George and Sarah Gardiner, and brother, Andrew. Bucky enjoyed everything there is to enjoy about sports. He participated, he coached, he refereed, he umpired, he volunteered and he chauffeured his children and their friends. Bucky also had a special place in his heart for horses and a passion for golf. Bucky spent time working in the pit, working for the Coast Guard and working as a plumber/pipe fitter. Bucky recently retired from Local 682, where he spent close to 30 years working in the construction industry.

| MacDonald | M. Gertrude MacDonald | The Boston Globe | 03/02/2006 | Ann Batten | Gertrude MacDonald, 100; teacher was Nova Scotia native By Elizabeth Raftery, Globe Correspondent | February 3, 2006- The Boston Globe Throughout her life, which spanned a century, M. Gertrude MacDonald of Melrose was never afraid to try new things. ''Throughout all the years I'd known her, I never had known her to drink beer," said Frank Reynolds, a close friend who knew Ms. MacDonald for 65 years, in a telephone interview. ''But I guess it was maybe a year ago, maybe two years ago, she tried beer and tried many different varieties and brands, and the one that really struck her fancy was a Budweiser with a screw top on it." Ms. MacDonald died Monday of complications of dementia at the Life Care Center of Stoneham. She was 100. Born in Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Ms. MacDonald moved to Massachusetts in the early 1900s. She graduated from Lesley College and earned her teaching degree from Boston University, eventually becoming a member of the Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women. Although she maintained residency in the United States as a teacher in public schools in Wayland and Everett, Ms.MacDonald never lost touch with her roots, spending vacations in her native country. ''Baddeck, Nova Scotia, was her favorite place on earth," Reynolds said in a statement. ''She treasured her summers there." Ms. MacDonald also greatly valued her Scottish heritage, and was a member of Clan Donald of Scotland, as well as Clan MacIntosh of North America and Clan MacLeod of the United States. Her home decor also reflected her pride. ''Wherever she was, she always surrounded herself with the plaids, thistles, and sprigs of heather that signify Scotland," Reynolds said in the statement. Ms. MacDonald, who never married and had no children, was close with the George Burrell family of Everett and members of the Francis Reynolds family of Medford and the Edward Reynolds family of Ledyard, Conn. She is remembered as an outspoken woman who loved teaching lessons, educationally speaking, or otherwise. ''She was feisty, independent, and adventurous," Frank Reynolds said in the statement. ''She didn't mind making her opinions known." Services will be held tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the Salvatore Rocco & Sons Funeral Home in Everett. Burial will be in Puritan Lawn Cemetery in Peabody. | |||
