Edna Annita Matheson

Matheson, Edna Annita - It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Edna Matheson, age 94 in QEII Hospital, Halifax, on July 25, 2024.

Born in Earltown, she was the eldest daughter of the late William J. and Gladys S. MacDonald.

She is survived by her daughter, Anita (Alfred) Muise, Stillwater Lake; sons, William J. "Bill", Earltown and James E. "Jim", Red Deer, Alberta; grandchildren, Allison Muise (Daniel Stauning), Redlands, California; Angela Muise (David Murray), Halifax; and Andrew, Vancouver; great-granddaughter, Abigail; sister, Shirley, North River, Cape Breton; niece, Kathryn Graham, British Columbia. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Willard; sisters, Donna MacDonald and Ruth Graham; and granddaughter, Andrea Muise.

During her lifetime, Edna travelled various career paths - as a teacher, a bank officer, in retail, and as a homemaker. She was very involved in all aspects of the community life of Earltown, where she lived for many years. After the death of her husband, she moved to Stillwater Lake, NS to be with family. Spending time with her grandchildren gave her great happiness and she thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their lives. She was "Gram", not only for them but for all their friends as well.

Genealogy and family history were a special interest and of great importance to her. She assisted her niece, Kathryn, in the compilation of the family tree and history of the MacDonald, Sutherland, and Matheson branches of the family from the time they left Scotland in the early 1800s to present day generations.

Her last three years were spent at The Berkeley, Bedford where she made many new friends and enjoyed participating in the activities and the social life. She will be sadly missed both by family and friends, for she was loved by all who knew her. Her memory will live on through the many lives she touched.

Arrangements are under the direction of Arimathea Funeral Cooperative.

Graveside service will be held in Earltown Church Cemetery on August 2, at 1 p.m. Memorial donations may be made to a charity of one's choice.

John Stanley Lawrence

Lawrence, John Stanley - John Stanley Lawrence of Great Village, passed away on July 21, 2024 at the age of 89.

John spent the first half of his working life in the Navy which meant that he did a fair amount of travelling outside Canada. When he retired from the Navy and he was still too young to stop working so he decided he wanted to do something entirely different. He found his calling when he started working for the Colchester Library as the bookmobile driver. Dad was known for remembering a particular book that someone was searching for on a previous visit and would make note of it in a notebook and if possible, bring that book on his next visit. Up to the day he died he always carried a notebook with him jotting things down so he didn’t forget anything important. John was an active member of the Jehovah Witness congregation. He served as a ministerial servant and loved looking after the donations as well as organizing and distributing the magazines.

John was what you would call “a sports guy”. He not only loved to play sports but he also loved to watch sports. He stopped playing hockey when he was 80 and only recently gave up playing golf.

John was predeceased by his father, George; mother, Georgette; and his sisters, Edna and Patricia.

John is survived by his spouse Freda (Shay); his children, Debbie (Roy Keddy), Gary (Joy Davis), Sandy (Robert Thompson), Pamela and Gordie (April Messenger); grandchildren, Bette (Chris Geldart), Jenny (Matt McCarthy), Brittany (Josh Sroka), Tyler (Stephanie), Janelle ( Jeremy Connor), Jamie, Rachel (Josh) and Lucas; great-grandchildren, Taylor (Dee), Jordan, Mia, Kai, Cru, Ryker and Max; great great-grandchildren, Dawson and Jaxon; his only brother, Ross ( Linda) of Oshawa, Ontario; as well as many nephews and nieces.

Mike’s employment history included a range of rewarding positions, and resulted in many lifelong friendships. Beginning in 1980, Mike was employed with the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation (Safety Programs) as an Educational Safety Officer. He was affectionately known as “Safety Mike” among staff and students in the schools he visited.

Over the years, Mike was an avid fisherman and hunter. He enjoyed trout and salmon fishing around the province, meticulously tying his own flies. He made many fishing trips to Newfoundland with his father, brother Gary, cousins, and friends. There were few things that brought him more enjoyment than his trips to the hunting camp in Guysborough County, which he shared with lifelong friends.

In his retirement, he discovered a love for wintering in Florida. His Harley Davidson motorcycle was also a source of summer time enjoyment. He made numerous motorcycle group trips to Laconia, NH, and all over the Atlantic Provinces. He had a deep appreciation for all types of vehicles, and loved driving.

Mike valued friendship. Friendship and socialization was a common thread throughout Mike’s life. He enjoyed live music, dances, travelling to car shows, and being in the company of the special people in his life. He hosted many gatherings at his Howlett family homestead in Stewiacke, before moving to Parkland Retirement Living in Truro, in 2020.

Linda Frances (Perry) Brown

Brown (Perry), Linda Frances - Linda Brown passed away one year ago in the morning of Wednesday, July 12, 2023 - on her own terms, in her own bed, and in her own Dartmouth home, as she wanted. The many messages and memories sent from around the world in the days before surely helped her soul take flight after a life full of adventure.
Linda dove into this world in London, England in 1946; the eldest child of the late Daphne (Fenton) and Christopher Perry. Her early years were spent in London and Scotland before the family settled in Qualicum Beach, BC. Linda’s professional life began with work at the Summerland Research Station in BC; then she moved to Ontario, where she became one of the first women stockbrokers in Toronto. She found her true calling as a social worker in Halifax with her MSW from Maritime School of Social Work, working in acute care, psychiatry, and community mental health. After her diagnosis of Stage 3C ovarian cancer in 2018, she joined the Patient Partners in Research Committee with Ovarian Cancer Canada, leaving a lasting impact through her work on the Patient Decision Aid Project and honoured posthumously with the 2023 Peggy Truscott Award.
Linda is survived by her loving partner of 25 years, Ruth Bruer, and the beagle clan they created after so many years of rescuing animals together. Predeceased by her two brothers, Craig Perry and Rudyard (Charlotte) Perry, she is survived by her half-sister, Enid Docherty; nieces, Yvonne (Kirk) Baker-Palmer, Laurie (Frank) Baranowski; and great-niece, Simone. In later years she reconnected with family in the UK, especially her cousin, John (Susan) Marshall and his sons Tim and Simon. She loved deeply all of the “children” who became part of her life with Ruth and it meant a lot to her that they have the happiest memories from all the Canada Day celebrations and 10 years of lavish Little Girls’ Christmas Tea Parties.
Linda will be remembered as a passionate lover of life; avid wilderness backpacker; long-distance cyclist and world traveller; humble ally to people with mental illness whom she considered the bravest people in the world; compassionate protector of all living creatures and nature, including many rescued animals; life-long learner of classical music and almost every other genre you can think of; eager debater of world-events; inquisitive conversationalist (especially of everything you might not want to discuss); fierce advocate for gay rights and LGBTQ2S issues, and most recently ovarian cancer research.
Linda summed up what she learned along her journey: “Best to try and live in the moment — happy, content and with purpose. To love friends and family deeply, To live with wonder and cherish the natural world because yes — it can all go sideways and turn very dark at any moment but it could also turn out to be totally the opposite and life transforming.”
A joyous Celebration of Life was held in Linda’s “small but mighty” garden in September 2023, inspired by dear friend Paul (Troy) Fougere. Many thanks to the teams from MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) and Palliative Care. Special love goes out to the entire Gynaecologic Oncology team in Halifax and the many researchers and Teal Sisters from Ovarian Cancer Canada. Please find it in your hearts to donate to Ovarian Cancer Canada who champion research to give women with ovarian cancer a fighting chance against this “silent killer.”
