| 801 | It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nicholas Joshua Hebb, 25, of Calgary, formerly of Upper Sackville on August 24, 2018. In his younger years, Nick enjoyed Tae Kwon Do, dirt biking, fishing, bicycling and soccer, later coming to enjoy camping in the mountains near Calgary. He loved nature and his heart was to love and to be loved by so many around him. After attending Sackville High and Millwood High, Nick moved out west to begin his career in roofing, a trade he thoroughly enjoyed. Nick was predeceased by his grandparents, Edwin and Mary Hebb, grandfather George Alexander and uncle Brian Alexander. A Celebration of Life service will be held at Gateway Community Church on Friday, September 14, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. | Hebb, Nicholas Joshua (I17556)

| 802 | It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Russell F. West on March 7, 2022, at his home in Lockhartville. Russell was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather who will be fondly missed. A friend to many, he was a quiet man with the spirit of a warrior. He taught his children to love nature and history, to stand tall, never back down and to work hard. He loved nature and all wild things. Russell was at peace in the woods, usually seen wearing a tattered orange jacket or a plaid shirt, surrounded by nature's creatures. He was a woodsman well into his late eighties. Although strong, he had a soft side for his grandchildren, his yellow dog, Sassy, and for fox pups playing in his field. Many times, he gently cradled a lost or injured bird in his hands and returned it to safety. He carried a sickly old cat to its bed for many years. Russell loved to tell stories of days gone by, and could tell hunting stories for hours while fixing guns, chainsaws, or anything that moved. He was an avid hunter and liked to use his antique musket to supply a rabbit to complement the turkey dinner at Christmas. One memorable year, the rabbit was seasoned with turnip seed that had been accidentally mixed with the shot. The wadding from the old gun also caught the surrounding bushes on fire, so the rabbit was somewhat pre-cooked before he brought it home! He was pleased to have a granddaughter challenge him to a shooting match at the firing range. The sound of a chainsaw, the smell of sawdust or freshly mowed hay, the sight of a tractor or a woodpile bring thoughts of Russell to mind. We remember a "good" Christmas tree he once brought home (he had previously run over with his tractor!) Russell loved telling his grandchildren stories or taking them for a ride on his tractor. He had great time roasting marshmallows at the beach while listening to his granddaughters sing. Playing with his young grandsons, whether running a foot race or hunting imaginary bears with a stick "gun" he provided, was a great source of joy to them both! In his younger years, Russell had a Studebaker car and enjoyed drag racing with his friends, once landing the car in a well. He pulled tug-of-war on many teams for many years, until he was in his forties. Russell's first steady job was at Maritime Life Assurance Co. in Halifax, where he worked as an accountant. While living in Halifax, he joined the reserves and was on the boxing team of the Princess Louise Fusiliers. Later he moved to Winnipeg to work for Osler, Hammond & Nanton Insurance Company as an accountant. He was also a member of a boxing team in there, winning the 1957 Manitoba Amateur Boxing Association middle weight title. Russell eventually returned to Nova Scotia and was employed at Minas Basin Pulp & Power Company for 34 years as a paper quality inspector. He led a busy life and was well loved and respected. He will be missed greatly! He was predeceased by his parents, Asahel and Marjorie (Hutchinson) West, and a brother in infancy. Funeral service will be held Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at 2 pm in Lindsay's Funeral Home Chapel. Rev. Debra Mosher officiating. Interment to follow at Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport, N.S. | West, Russell Frederick (I6685)

| 804 | It is with heavy hearts the family of Darrell Gordon "Ducky" McDow, 87 of Mount Denson, Hants County announces his sudden passing on Thursday, March 2, 2023 at the QEII, Halifax, due to a stroke, surrounded by his devoted family. Born on November 30, 1935 in Blue Mountain, Kings County, he was a son of the late Gordon and Hattie (Russell) McDow. He grew up on the family farm and gained a firm foundation in a love of animals, the lake, a solid work ethic and strong family values. After leaving home he worked in Halifax for Roy Judge and then started his life and forever home with his one true love, Goldie in Mount Denson in 1961. They had a hobby farm with various animals, but oxen always pulled strongly at his heart strings. He loved to garden throughout his years. He was known for his famous refrigerator cucumber pickles and his newsworthy front-page potato. During his career of 36 years as a Millwright at CKF Inc. in Hantsport, he was well known for his amazing ability to figure out any problem and fix it. Perhaps no greater demonstration of this was shown than when he built his cottage on Murphy Lake from the ground up - spending every summer and some winters there for over 50 years. He took great pleasure in their cottage, sharing it with family and friends, making memories for everyone around the campfire, on the lake or simply just enjoying the view. Anyone who knew Darrell would experience his friendly, loyal, honest, hardworking, get it done manner, and being seen in his spiffy hats and bolo ties. Darrell and Goldie shared many adventures, laughs, life learning experiences while raising their four children and had 61-and 1/2-years wonderful married years together. He loved to spend time with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. His family was his pride and joy. Over the years he had many hobbies and interests from going to the dances at the Winsport Dance Club or local dances, snowmobiling, bowling, motorcycling, curling, swimming, water skiing, hunting, fishing, card parties, playing block and crib, pulling oxen, 4-H Oxen and Beef Leader, senior games, gardening and mowing lawns. In his later years he learned to play the guitar and try his hand at painting and took many road trips. He volunteered at the Mount Denson Community Hall, Blue Mountain Cemetery Association, The Border Riders 4-H Club and Murphy Lake and Lane Road Association. He was a member of two Senior clubs, Minas Waves and Jolly Seniors and Heart/Stroke Windsor Chapter. Plus, whatever projects and jobs Goldie volunteered him for. He was an avid fisherman, and he especially loved the annual May fishing trip with a core group of family and friends. He was a well-known oxen teamster travelling to compete at many fairs and exhibitions with his prize-winning team. He had an amazing mind and there was nothing that he could not fix or invent to fix the problem. He enjoyed refurbishing anything that did not work from tinkering, building to painting. He was a great mentor to his grandchildren especially 4-H projects. He loved to go and watch his grandchildren participate in school, 4-H or sports events and loved spending time with his family. Burial will be at a later date in the Blue Mountain Cemetery. | McDow, Darrell Gordon (I17334)

| 805 | It is with immense sadness that the family of Donna Darlene Thomas, age 63, of Wallbrook, announce her peaceful passing on Sunday, November 13, 2022 in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, Nova Scotia. Born in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, Donna spent her early years growing up in Waverly, just outside of Dartmouth, NS. She was a daughter of the late Donald and Carlene (Miller) Spears. In her teens Donna’s family moved back to Pictou County, where she met her best friend and devoted husband Robert "Bob" in high school, which began 47 years of a loving relationship between two soul mates. After graduating from West Pictou High School, Donna attended the NS College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Halifax, University of New Brunswick (UNB) in Fredericton, and finished her formal studies with a double degree in Sociology and Education from Dalhousie University, all the while working 2 and 3 part-time jobs as a young wife. Anyone who met Donna quickly learned that she did nothing "half measure". Her drive, creativity and devotion to family were the hallmarks of a long and fruitful life. After 4 years living and working in Halifax/Dartmouth, life took them to Hantsport where her love for the Annapolis Valley was cultivated and this became her second home. As a teacher Donna taught at the Hantsport School which she loved, but with limited teaching positions her entrepreneurial spirit was re-kindled and she and a good friend opened the Crimson & Clover Gift Shop and Tea Room. Here two of her favourite hobbies came together, cooking and crafts/giftware. As a business owner she became active in local economic development and renewal which eventually led her to tourism where she served as Executive Director for the Evangeline Tourism Association. In this position she loved to travel and promote the Valley to many places up and down the US Eastern Seaboard as well as Upper Canada. Donna loved adventure. Then, when you thought it couldn’t be busier, her life took a turn for something even better as she became a mom for the first time after 15 years of marriage. This was her true calling, and she was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home mom to 4 beautiful children that quickly became the most challenging, loving and fulfilling role of her life – a dream come true! Through all those busy years as "CEO of the house" Donna still found time to teach Sunday School at St. John’s Anglican Church in Wolfville, contribute to many bake sales, make costumes for her children and others, home renovations and gardening. She loved to garden and you would often find her tending to plants, either inside or outside of the house. On top of all that Donna was a valued advisor and Manager of Special Projects for Bob’s software business, a position she constantly hoped to be fired from. Sadly, Donna’s life changed drastically after her car accident in 2010, leaving her physically disabled. Did she let that stop her? No. After a long recovery her drive and passion was renewed as she wasn’t long taking a full credit course in landscape design from Ryerson in Toronto. However, family continued to be her primary focus and she and Bob returned "back home" to Pictou County as often as possible to visit with her Mom, sister and brother as well as Bob’s dad. In recent years Donna continued her creative interests and turned her hand to several new crafting hobbies including repurposing old jewelry pieces to make necklaces and bracelets, a newfound passion, making old things sparkle like new. When Donna did rest, you could find her basking in the sun with her kitty companion Winnie, or cuddling with her dog, who she loved dearly, Bella. Although Covid slowed her down a bit and she couldn’t go out often, the many phone calls, texts and Facetimes with family and friends kept her sane. She especially loved Facetiming with her great nieces and nephews who brought much joy and love into her life. More recently, she rekindled relationships with many childhood friends through social media and drew on this energy to help her through the more challenging days. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Sandra Spears. Visitation will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 20, 2022 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. The funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 21 in St. John’s Anglican Church, Wolfville, with The Reverend Nicole Uzans officiating. | Spears, Donna Darlene (I17173)

| 806 | It is with immense sadness the family of Robert Quenton "Bob" Starratt, age 75, of New Minas, announces his sudden passing at home on Friday, November 18, 2022. Born in Windsor, he was the son of the late Roy and Isabelle (Pearson) Starratt. Prior to retirement, Bob worked as a plater on submarines at the HMC Dockyard for 30 years. While he lived most of his life in the Hantsport area, they made the move further up the valley to New Minas 17 years ago to be closer to their beloved grandchildren. Bob was an avid horse lover and either owned them or was around them from a very young age. He met many of his closest friends for life through horses. Bob has been a member of the Poyntz Masonic Lodge No. 44 since 2003, having achieved the rank of Past Master. A combined masonic and funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 24, 2022 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. Interment will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, November 28, 2022 in the Scott’s Bay Cemetery, Scott’s Bay. | Starratt, Robert Quenton (I2131)

| 807 | It is with profound sadness that the family of Burton Charles Eldridge announces that Burt left us June 27, 2021 a few days before his 85th birthday at Lionsgate hospital in North Vancouver, BC. Burt was born in Ohio, Nova Scotia July 1, 1936 and was the only son of Charles Tooker and Eva Pauline Pulsifer Eldridge. His mother Pauline died from cancer when he was seven years old. His father subsequently married Annis Madeline Madden. Burt grew up in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, fishing and lobstering on the East Coast. His hobbies also included hunting, stamp collecting, and watching sports. Burt's first full time job was as a teller at the Royal Bank. Burt enjoyed banking but decided he wanted to become a pilot. He was traveling on a train to attend flight school with the Canadian Armed Forces when he received word that his father had died. He returned to Yarmouth and subsequently resumed his interest in finance/accounting by leaving for New Brunswick to acquire a Bachelor of Commerce from Mount Allison University in Sackville. He then completed his Chartered Accountant Designation at McGill University and articled with the CA firm Riddlestead Graham and Hutchison in Montreal, the city where he met his future wife, Margaret. Margaret and Burt married on July 11, 1964, and moved to Edmonton, Alberta to settle and raise their two children. Burt worked at Consumer and Corporate Affairs with the Federal government and then the Alberta Government. Burt was a chief investigative auditor testifying in the Code Inquiry into the Principal Group Ltd.. He testified in court for many days regarding his work uncovering and alerting officials to neglect and mismanagement. Burt retired from the Alberta Government and for a few years taught Accounting at the nearby Hobbema Reserve. In 1998, Burt’s cross Canada tour finished on the west coast, in Vancouver where he worked for the Real Estate Council of BC as a PST Auditor until his declining health made it necessary for him to retire permanently. Burt enjoyed his work as a CA and had always taken on private clients to provide professional assistance and advice. In his retirement, Burt enjoyed gardening, building things and spending time with his grandchildren. In his last years, Burt suffered from a degenerative neurological condition that greatly affected his mobility. He put up a heroic fight for more than a year following a fall at home June 9, 2020 that left him with a fractured neck and a bilateral brain bleed. He was in hospital from June 9th, 2020 to March 10, 2021 when he was discharged and admitted to Evergreen House Care Home where he, due to their inadequate care, began to rapidly decline physically and cognitively. Burt believed in the value of hard work and living a productive life. He applied his financial skills to his personal life, avoiding waste and discovering efficient solutions to any challenge he faced. Burt would have still been working had his declining health not become so serious. Burt’s passion was his family. He loved us all deeply. He was a kind and gentle man and was always available for us when we needed him. He will be greatly missed by us all forever. In lieu of flowers please consider donations to Veteran’s Affairs Canada, Lionsgate Hospital, VETS or the Poppy Fund. Please consider lobbying the government to reform Long Term Care in BC. | Eldridge, Burton Charles (I16302)

| 808 | It is with profound sadness that we announce that our family matriarch, Kris, passed away quietly on June 12, 2021, and has finally made the journey to be with her God. Born in Finland on April 24, 1924, Kris was orphaned from her parents Krarti and Onto Laine in 1939, and emigrated to Canada that same year. In 1943, she enrolled in the Canadian Womens Army Corps and served as a chef for the Officer Corps in various units in southern Ontario until the end of the war, when she was discharged at the rank of Sergeant. After leaving the Army, Kris eventually made her home in the East Kootenay mountains of British Columbia (Invermere) until she moved to Hantsport with her husband Roy in 2008. Kris was a Life Member of the Order of the Eastern Star and long-time member of the Daughters of the Nile. Within her 50 years plus in the OES, Kris held virtually every officer station including Worthy Matron many times over. In her waning years in OES she served as Chaplain in various Chapters in British Columbia and Nova Scotia. She was also appointed as Grand Representative for the State of Nevada in British Columbia. Kris was an avid gardener, a fantastic chef and above all, an animal lover; both domestic and wild. She was particularly fond of her pet cats, but could also be seen feeding strays, birds, deer and any other animal that found their way into her yard. She was proud to regale us with the story about the time as a young girl, she fed a cougar blueberries from the palm of her hand. Kris was predeceased by her first two husbands, Sid Scamon, and Don Anderson (both of British Columbia). Kris will also be sadly missed by her many new friends in and around Hantsport. Our family wishes to thank the staff of Ivy Meadows Long Term Facility in Beaver Bank for their excellent care and compassion. In lieu of flowers, our Mom would be pleased if donations were made to an Animal Shelter of your choice. | Laine, Kristine Katarina (I16226)

| 819 | Jean B. Hennigar - It is with great sadness and also joy that we announce the passing from this life into the glory of eternal life of Jean Beatrice Hennigar on Tuesday, April 5th, 2016, at home, aged 100. Born February 18th, 1916, at home in Gaspereau, she was the daughter of the late Roy and Lena Isabel Jodrey. At an early age, her family moved to Wolfville, where she attended school. Upon graduation, she went to Mack Business College, learning skills that stayed with her for her entire life, especially the art of shorthand. She worked at Minas Basin Pulp and Power until her marriage to her handsome skating partner, Dean S. Hennigar of Greenwich. After their wedding at her parents’ home in Hantsport, they moved to Brooklyn, Hants Co., then to Somerset, Kings Co. The next move was to South Berwick, where she became a charter member of the South Berwick branch of the Women’s Institutes of Nova Scotia. After a summer spent at Turner’s Brook, the family moved finally, in 1953, to Sheffield Mills when they purchased the Harold Chase apple farm. There Mum raised five children, did the books for the farm, and was a director of Minas Basin Pulp and Paper Company for 16 years. She attended First Cornwallis Baptist Church as a faithful and faith-filled member for 62 years, serving as clerk for the Church for 19 years. She was a charter member of the Blanche Gower Auxiliary, and was a member of the Women’s Missionary Society, played the piano and taught Sunday School. She and Dad also taught Sunday School in the Gibson Woods Baptist Church. They were both members of The Gideons International. She attended PTA meetings for many years, was an Explorer leader, and remained a member of the Sheffield Mills and District W.I. until the time of her passing. Over the years, Mum researched the genealogy of four branches of our family and was a charter member of the Kings Historical Society and one of the early members of the Genealogical Society. Her second hobby from the time she was 13 until recently was scrapbooking. If anyone needed a picture or article from years ago having to do with anything that touched Mum’s life, she most likely had it. She was a terrific reference for family, and also as a member of the Sheffield Mills Community Association. She was part of a W.I. committee that wrote and published the first edition of \"Grist From the Mills\". Mum was an avid reader all her life and passed on her love of books and reading to us all. She enjoyed travelling, but was always glad to come home. She especially enjoyed spending winters on the island of Montserrat at their home there, and summers at the cottage at Lake George. She loved to play games, especially Scrabble, and most card games, teaching us to try to win, but also teaching us how to lose. Her \"sticky buns\" were legend and you never went hungry at her table. She was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Dean, in 2005, an infant daughter at birth, sister, Florence Bishop and brother, John Jodrey. Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held on Friday, April 29th, 7-9 p.m., at White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. A celebration of Mum’s life will be held on Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 p.m. at First Cornwallis Baptist Church, 1012 Middle Dyke Road, Upper Canard. | Jodrey, Jean Beatrice (I2426)

Jean was born in Hortonville. She was a daughter of the late Freeman and Gertrude Beatty. Jean was a member of Stevens Road United Baptist Church choir in Dartmouth for a number of years. She and her late husband, Claude, were both blessed with the gift of music. Jean played the piano beautifully and the two were in perfect harmony when they sang duets during gatherings of friends and family in their Dartmouth home. Jean also served on the church's social committee for 13 years and spent time as a Sunday school teacher. Jean loved to bowl and she proudly displayed multiple trophies from her many league victories. When she wasn't bowling, she enjoyed sitting down with a cup of coffee or tea and working on a good puzzle, sometimes with a little help from her daughters and grandchildren. But her favourite pastime was watching the Toronto Blue Jays. As their number one fan, Jean never missed a game on television and kept an impressive record book of the team's statistics and standings. Jean loved all sports and when the Jays weren't playing, she was usually watching hockey or curling. Jean was adored by her eight grandchildren. Growing up, a trip to Grammy's meant lots of games, silly stories, fresh vegetables from the garden, and sweet treats and tea biscuits. As they grew older, no matter where they were around the world, they always made sure to call her regularly for a nice chat, a good laugh, or to hear a joke she had just read in a magazine or newspaper. She was predeceased by her husband, Claude; son, Kevin; and brothers, Donald, Billy, and Sam. Jean has eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the wonderful doctors, nurses, cleaning staff, and support staff on 5 east at Dartmouth General Hospital. Jean's final days were made a little easier because of you. While we take comfort in knowing Jean is in Heaven with her husband and son, whom she loved so much, we will always miss her sweet smile, quick wit, and unconditional love for her family. A private family burial will take place at a later date in Dartmouth Memorial Gardens. | Beatty, Jean Gertrude (I5810)

Jean also felt very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to Florida for several winters with Dorothy and Reg.

John was born on May 25, 1936 in Hantsport to Merton and Pauline (Greene). He was also predeceased by his beloved son, Jeffrey; and grandson, Cole. He was an outgoing, friendly and generous man who enjoyed interacting with others and could talk for hours if given the chance. He enjoyed playing hockey and did so until his later years. One of his favourite activities was exploring unfamiliar roads, which on one trip, led us into a seedy part of Boston but, unfazed, found his way out. It was pre-GPS but he had an excellent sense of direction and always seemed to be able navigate unknown territory. John gave a hundred percent to all things of interest to him and was especially proud of the 100 dairy cattle herd he built up. He was an avid reader and problem solver, somehow being able, most of the time, to come up with a solution to difficulties. "Cowboy logic" he'd say. He also spent many years in the construction business, working pipeline in Ontario and later working for the Town of Hantsport and also doing individual projects. John loved getting phone calls from his children of whom he was so proud. Since moving to British Columbia, he kept in touch with family and friends in Nova Scotia, and he and his cousin, Albert, were on the phone many times as they had established a close bond in childhood. Many thanks to all those at Royal Jubilee Hospital who had some part in taking such good care of John. You were so kind and helpful and it was very much appreciated. | Tracey, John Llewellyn (I7274)
