Una Shirley (Williams) Beck

Beck (Williams), Una Shirley – It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Una Shirley (Williams) Beck on February 13, 2022 in Victoria General Hospital with her family by her side. She was 88.  

Born in Ostrea Lake, she was a devoted home maker for most of her life. She found pleasure in helping and comforting others. She was a trained palliative care volunteer. For many years she supported countless charities to the best of her ability. She also enjoyed her years of service to the ladies auxiliary at Legion Branch 153.   

Her undying faith in the church had her working in various roles throughout her life, including eucharistic minister. This is where she found her greatest strength.

She was predeceased by her parents, Jeffery and Olive Williams; brothers, Alton and Owen Williams; sisters, Eileen Manual, Dorothy Prowse and Audrey Eisan; nephews, Donald Manual and Owen "Chopper" Williams. 

She is survived by her son, Jeffery Gander; daughter, Carolyn (Gary) Sarty; grandsons, Brad and Evan (Courtney) Snow; great-granddaughter, Harper Snow; and sister, Olive Williams.  

A very special thank you to her niece, Susan Barnhill, the VON's, Continuing Care NS, and the staff of Infirmary 8.4 wing, Abbie J. Lane 9th floor Geriatric Unit and Victoria General 9A wing for their great care and support during Mom’s declining health.          

There will not be any visitation. A private family service will be held at a later date. 

Those wishing to make donations in memory may do so to a charity of your choice.
