Nieforth (Poirier), Frances Delores – age 92, of Chezzetcook, passed away on February 4, 2024.
Born in West Chezzetcook, she was a daughter of the late Delore and Mary Cecilia (Myette) Poirier. She was predeceased by her first husband, Reuben Nieforth, who died a few years after they married, and then her spouse, Sinclair Nieforth; as well as brothers Gerald (Evelyn), Ronald, and William (Helen) Poirier.
She is survived by her daughter, Darlene Bonang (Timothy); grandchildren, Victoria (Jesse) and Nicholas; and great-grandchildren, Olivia and James; as well as sister-in-law, Catherine Poirier; honorary niece, Fern Redmond; godson, Ronnie Bonang; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and special friends.
Frances’ passion in life was her music. After receiving her first guitar in childhood, she taught herself to play and entertain with her acoustic and 12-string guitars, as well as the harmonica, the piano and organ, a little violin and she loved playing the spoons. She enjoyed anything to do with music, spending time with family and friends, and was a real people person. She could walk or drive up and talk to almost anyone.
For years she worked in the clam business and was so grateful for her little home in Chezzetcook that overlooked the inlet where so many locals made their living from the flats. She could always be found out-and-about, walking around her village and after ‘retiring’, she loved to drive all over Nova Scotia. Monastery, Antigonish County was a favourite destination for road trips with her dear friend, Ada Bonang. A special part of the road trip was stopping for a good feed of fish and chips. She loved her sauerkraut and pork dinners, and watching the news.
Her faith was a special comfort to her and she wanted everyone to know about the message of Our Lady of Fatima.
Frances fervently promoted the traditional Rosary. Please pray a Hail Mary or any part of this Rosary for her soul. May God bless you all.
