Head, Nella “Marie” – It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and friend, Nella “Marie” Head.
Born in Stag Harbour, Fogo Island, NFLD to Joyce and Max Bixby, Marie would love to share stories of growing up with her sisters, Marion and Marjorie.
It was June 19, 1971 when she wed her life partner, Alvin. Son, Jody (Natasha) and daughter, Jennifer (Chris Clark) would soon follow. Marie loved her children more
than her words could ever express, but would still make her best efforts to make sure
you knew it. Stories of grandchildren were always a favourite and she made sure her granddaughters, Rebecca (Jennifer) and Lauren (Jody) knew how much they were loved.
Her great-grandson, Joshua (Rebecca) became a constant source of inspiration as her life’s chapters unfolded.
Marie had a fondness of games, especially scrabble and a love of her facebook community that had become a wealth of friendship and support, especially in her later days. Hers was a life rich with friends and family, her heart a beacon of kindness, and she was a spirit that loved fiercely and fought so hard to stay. Marie will forever be cherished.
Besides her immediate family, she is survived by Marjorie Bixby, Viola (Melv) Lush, Cliff Head, Ken (Beulah) Head, Judy (Wayne) Roswell, and Linda Head.
She was predeceased by her sister, Marion Tough and sister-in-law, Selma Head.
We ask friends and family to join us in a Celebration of Life to honour Marie that will be announced at a later date.
Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to The Lung Association.
