| 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. | Atwell, Peggy Lee Angela (I9867)

Bill also enjoyed landscaping his hilltop property in Mount Denson. Bill was a gifted public speaker and a dedicated team leader who inspired many remarkable individuals to work with him in the pursuit of worthwhile causes. On the death of his son, Robert (a talented artist who portrayed his cancer experience in a memorable series of paintings) Bill established the Robert Pope Foundation and exhibited his son’s work in over 60 cities worldwide. It was Bill’s dream that the Robert Pope Foundation continue on a permanent basis. The foundation’s board members, many of them personal and valued friends, shared his enthusiasm. Services of healing and of encouragement in creative and artistic endeavours continue to be carried out. The family would like to thank the Hants Community Hospital for its wonderful service. Doctors, nurses, palliative care workers and every member of the staff gave expert and loving care that helped Bill and his family through his final days. | Pope, William Robert (I11660)
