1105 Otis Delbert Clayton, 94 of Kingston/Greenwood passed away on December 7, 2017 in the Soldier's Memorial Hospital. Born on June 4, 1923 in Parker's Cove, he was the son of the late Capt. Delbert and Laura (Hudson) Clayton.

Otis spent his beginning years in Parker's Cove and after his grade 7 year, his family moved to Hantsport. After graduating from Hantsport School, he completed his grade 12 in the Windsor Academy.

The following year, Otis made the decision to join the RCAF until cessation of war in 1945 and in 1946; he, along with many other veterans went to Acadia University thus obtaining his degrees in Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education. This was a new beginning for Otis.

In 1951 to 1952, Otis took on the roll of Principal in the Brooklyn Schools. During his time there, he served as President of Queens County Teachers. It was at this time he also helped form an Air Cadet group, and served as the Navigation Instructor. He moved back to Hantsport as vice-principal with Al Clark, teaching Math and Science. Otis also taught Sunday School in Hantsport United Church and was an elder there for several years. When the new Vocational school opened in Windsor, he resigned from Hantsport school and was appointed Science Teacher at this new school. Otis was also the Chairman of Cheverie Stewards, and Secretary of Walton Board of Commissioners. He also found great satisfaction as church organist in Cheverie. In 2000, Otis moved his family to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Upon his retirement, Otis purchased a 26-acre farm in Kempt Shore loving the ability to garden and all that came with it. Over the years, Otis enjoyed many activities besides his gardening, including Ham Radio Operator since 1967; he raised several labrador retrievers, which he spent time with hunting; he built several boats and set trawl for fish near Whitewater (catching great halibut!). Otis also purchased a 43-foot, two masts schooner, to which he added a diesel engine allowing for many great adventures.

Then in 2009, he moved with his new family to Greenwood where he continued his adventures.

1107 Our precious, Freda “Maxine” MacClure (nee Banks) - 79, of Lake Land Retreat- passed away peacefully on October 30, 2021.

We have learned incredible life lessons from Maxine about love, strength and determination. Maxine loved totally and fully and once she gave you her heart, she loved you forever. Every phone call or visit ended with "I love you". The love for her husband Robert and her children was in her eyes until the end. Maxine had strength beyond measure that would bolster those around her and bring peace to others. Even when the end was near she was at ease and had no fears of what was to come next. Her determination was immeasurable and a true testament to her family and faith, faith that was important to her throughout her life. Her absence will leave a void for those she has left behind but she will continue to live on in the memories and hearts of those that loved her the most.

Maxine is predeceased by her parents Arthur and Thelma (Hatfield) Banks, her brother Ronald and sister Doreen (Banks) Fraser.

Maxine was never one to be the centre of attention, so in that fashion her service will be private. Friends wishing to honour Maxine are invited to make a donation to; Greenfield United Baptist Church, Valley Hospice or charity of your choice. 
Banks, Thelma (I2621)

1111 Owned by E. Churchill & Sons, PLYMOUTH is perhaps best known for a moving diary of life aboard which was kept by Alice Coalfleet, the wife of her captain George Coalfleet. Alice recorded travel, storms, accidents and the birth of her own child aboard PLYMOUTH. Her saddest memory was the transfer of her husband from PLYMOUTH to the barque HAMBURG where he died soon after from heart disease. Ironically PLYMOUTH would later end its days as an abandoned wreck lying beside HAMBURG, uniting in their demise, the two vessels so closely associated with the life of Alice Coalfleet. In 1905 at the end of her sailing career, PLYMOUTH was sold to the J. B. King Company of New York and was converted into a gypsum barge and used to transport gypsum from the Avon River, Nova Scotia to New York.
Story
After many years as a gypsum barge the vessel was abandoned by the company in 1921 and left to decay on the Avon Riverbank beside HAMBURG, WILDWOOD, PLYMOUTH and ONTARIO. Together, these wrecks represent the largest physical remains of ships from the Golden Age of Sail in Nova Scotia.

1132 Pauline Linda (Sisco) Kyle, August 30th, 1956 – November 22nd, 2022. After a courageous battle with cancer, Pauline Linda (Sisco) Kyle exchanged her fleshly robe of mortality to put on the fresh robe of immortality. Forever to abide in the presence of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and King.

Pauline grew up in Lockhartville surrounded by family. In her early, years she moved to Halifax along with her older sister, Sharon and younger brother, Gerry to live with their older sister, Anne, and her family. After public school, Pauline began a career in health services in Halifax until marrying and then moving to Africa.

Pauline loved to travel. She enjoyed learning about and experiencing different cultures, people, and cuisines from all over the world. She had the good fortune to have lived in many different countries throughout her lifetime including Kenya, Jamaica, and the United States. After returning to Canada, she settled in Ontario where she worked as an LPN for several years and meet met her husband, Patrick. After retiring she moved to Quebec to live closer to her sister, Sharon, and her family, as well to enjoy her retirement with Patrick and their dog, Kia.

The biggest joy of her life was being a mother to Natasha who she loved more than anything. They had an exciting life together living in Africa and the Caribbean when Natasha was younger. Although for the last several years they have lived in different countries, this did not diminish the love she felt and had for her daughter.

Before her death, Pauline returned to her Nova Scotia, with the plan to help “Momma Anne” and be surrounded by her extended family. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of cancer she received in July cut short the new life she had planned. Pauline accepted the journey that was ahead of her. Throughout her battle with cancer, she demonstrated an abundance of cheerfulness, an extraordinary sense of positivity, indomitable courage, and rare grace. This all reinforced her understanding of the importance of family. She was blessed to have her family with her in these final months and this was especially evident by the exceptional, loving, and devoted care that her sisters and niece offered her in her final days.

She had one very special great nephew that she affectionately referred to as 'My Little, Big Man' who brought her much laughter, joy, and love.

She will be missed by all who knew her.

Pauline was predeceased by her parents, James, and Ethel (Neil) Sisco; a sister, Margaret Sisco; brothers, Ivan and Harold Sisco; and one great-niece, Haley Rochester.

1136 Peggy Lee Angela Atwell, 46 of Hantsport passed away October 5, 2019 in the Halifax infirmary. She was the daughter of Irene Atwell and the late Ernest “Pean” Crowell.

There was hardly a time that you would see Peggy without a smile, unless you tried to take one of her sticks that she favored, then her expression turned to unimpressed, as she loved her sticks in her hands to twist and to snap. Peggy had her mother’s heart and her father’s love of laughter. Her love of laughter made her quick to join in on any practical jokes. These were usually instigated by her sister and directed at their mother.

She loved and cared for all her family, but recently she enjoyed a special relationship with her little cousin, Ben. Peggy always wanted to be helpful in any way she could. When hanging out clothes, she made it her job to go get you the clothespins and then put them away when done. Her helpful heart wasn’t so handy when you would place a $20 bill on the table, and Peggy would “clean-up” and throw it in the garbage bin for you.

Peggy lived her life by enjoying the simple pleasures; long car drives, wiener roasts and playing ball with her dog, Jasper. She had a lifetime of watching planes fly across the sky and she got to enjoy her own flying adventure in her final hours. Peggy loved her family, animals (especially horses), being outside and the holiday season. When the leaves changed color, she began her argument that the Christmas tree needs to go up. By far, the most desired in her life was her favorite drink, Pepsi. You could never have enough.

A Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, October 16, 2019 at 4:00 pm in the Bishopville Cemetery.
