| 1206 | MCLELLAN-MACDONALD, Shirley Nancy No doubt Shirley Nancy McLellan-MacDonald is reading this obituary with a cup of coffee in hand and smiling. As part of her morning routine, she would read the Chronicle Herald from cover to cover, including the obituaries. And now, her name appears. Mom was 88 years young when she passed away suddenly on June 24, 2020 in Haliburton Place, Windsor. She was predeceased by her parents, Harry and Meda (Tufts) Wile; her first husband, James McLellan; her second husband, Ralph "Rassie" MacDonald and sisters, Ermie Coolen, Lily Russell, Florence Silver, Hilda Neily and her sweet dog, Teddy. Mom loved family visits. She made the best rocky road squares and hodge podge in Nova Scotia- "It’s all in the cream," she’d say. Other passions included tending her summertime flowers at her Mount Denson home, which she shared with Ralph. "The secret is talking to them," she confided. She could sit in her sunporch for hours and watch the birds in the yard. Pretty sure she named them all. And nothing topped a bowl of fresh strawberries and cream. "It’s all in the cream and lots of sugar." Mom loved to play Big Mama with Ralph and laughed victoriously when she emerged champion. We would hear about it on the phone the following day. Music was another of mom’s loves. Sometimes she’d startle those around her when she spontaneously belted out all the words of a song at a moment’s notice, triggered by something you said. Christmas was a winter wonderland at mom’s place. She’d say, "Just one more thing!" and add another decoration. She loved shopping, but particularly in December. When she walked into a store before Christmas, you could see the managers rub their hands together with glee. Later, the lobby of Macleod House where mom resided for 18 months became the new wonderland setting. During her final days at Haliburton Place, mom was fortunate to have her sister, Laverne, as her roommate. Yes, Laverne and Shirley. They were typical siblings sharing a room, but they dearly loved and looked out for each other. Haliburton staff were always patient and caring. Mom was fun loving and had a terrific sense of humour. She loved to make people smile and would go out of her way to elicit laughter from someone who was feeling down. Years ago, someone said that arthritis was God’s way of slowing her down. Her life was not always rosy. She suffered from depression most of her life, but she always regained the upper hand. We miss you so much mom, but you are with Rassie and Teddy now, enjoying a glass of beer and a snuggle. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date, when family and friends are allowed to attend. And, at the gathering, there will hopefully be lots of hugs. Mom loved hugs. Memorial donations may be made in mom’s memory to Mount Denson United Baptist Church, PO Box 280, Hantsport, NS B0P 1L0. | Wile, Shirley Nancy (I2496)

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our beautiful daughter, Megan on Sunday, September 11, 2022 in the VG Site, QEII, Halifax. Megan was one of the two bright lights in our family. She made friends wherever life took her and taught us all how to love each other regardless of the challenges which stood between us. Meggie loved life’s simple pleasures, the wind in her face while swinging on the verandah, drives in the car, bowling with friends or just hanging out holding hands with the favourite men in her life. We are going to miss Megs beautiful smile and infectious laugh! To all of Meg's friends, teachers, educational assistants and special educators who helped her over the years, thank you for helping her spread her wings and take in so much of what life had offered her. We have met some incredible people through organizations such as APSEA, Early Intervention, SMILE, The Alexander Society, New Boundaries, Kaleidoscope and the Disability Support Program. A very special thank you to Sara Woodward, Kim Zwicker and families who considered Meg one of their own. For Megan, you were caregivers, big sisters and most importantly her mother while she was in your care. We would also like to acknowledge our collective families who loved and supported Meg over the years. We couldn't have done it without you. Meg was predeceased by maternal grandparents, Douglas and Phyllis Cuvilier; paternal grandmother, Jean Daniels and uncle, Jeff Norman.

| 1214 | Merle Gilbert Smith, of Keddys Corner, passed away suddenly on Monday, August 29, 2022, at home. Born in Hantsport, he was the oldest son of the late Frank and Della (Cox) Smith. Merle was very adamant not to reveal his age or year he was born. When asked his age, his response would have been "Old enough to know better, but too young to resist". He was an avid traveler, and it was nothing for him to decide last minute to drive across the province or country where you can bet he stopped at several yard sales along the way. His grandson Kyle remembers his Grandpa by saying "No matter what he went through or was faced with, he was always able to see the positive in everything and was always the one person I knew who would also find a way or a reason to keep smiling, staying positive and seeing the beauty in life." Merle had a special bond with his granddaughter, Sarah, and his great-grandchildren, and they always looked forward to their time together. He was lucky to have had several lifelong friends and was very soft-spoken but when he spoke you listened. Merle was an active member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 409 which had him at many job sites across the province over the years. He was predeceased by his first wife Gladys (2005); second wife Freda (2019); brother Carl; and sister Karen. Burial will take place in the Lakeview Cemetery, Lakeville. | Smith, Merle Gilbert (I17143)

| 1217 | Michael Delargy MacKillop It is with love and gratitude that we celebrate the life of Michael “Mick” Delargy MacKillop, who passed away at the age of 74, on November 12th, 2020, after a lengthy illness. Michael was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on April 23rd, 1946, to the late Michael and Mona (née McCaffrey) McKillop. He was predeceased by his parents, his first wife, Kathleen (née Doyle), her parents, his Canadian in-laws (Kathleen & Gerard Lauzière), as well as very close friends, Ronald Hazlett, and Michael Haley. Michael appreciated his opportunities in life and was always up for an adventure. Having read books on the Klondike Goldrush by Pierre Berton, Michael yearned to travel to Canada’s North. With that goal in mind, he and Kathleen, as a young couple in 1969, left Ireland and landed in Nova Scotia. They rented a room in Hantsport when they arrived, and that accommodation resulted in a life-long friendship with his “Canadian family”, the Hazletts. From Nova Scotia, they moved to Vanderhoof, B.C., then Dawson City, and Whitehorse, Yukon, and eventually on to Toronto, meeting people and touching lives along the way. While in the North, Michael embraced the Canadian culture, learning to hunt and fish like the best of them. He was proud when he became a Canadian citizen, however, his heart and soul remained in the Glens of Antrim. After Kathleen’s passing in 2002, Michael returned to Ireland, making frequent trips back to Nova Scotia and Ontario. In 2006, Michael met Thérèse and embarked on another journey of love. Together they lived in Dieppe, New Brunswick, and then Halifax, spending as much time as they could at their second home in Cushendall, Northern Ireland. Some are fortunate in this life to find one love, but Michael was blessed to have known two loves, Kathleen and Thérèse. Mick understood how fortunate he was, and loved them both with all his heart. Mick was a man of incredible talent. He was an artist, a world traveller, and a teacher. He would spend hours in his workshop, turning beautiful pieces of art to share with those who held a place in his heart. His workmanship was second-to-none, and his attention to detail shone through each piece molded through his skilled hands. In later years, Michael stepped into the art of photography and used his critical eye and technical prowess to capture beautiful images of people, nature, landscape, hockey and food. Mick was a world-traveller. His inquisitive nature and his gentle ease in interacting with people afforded him much success. He travelled extensively throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia in his younger years as a result of his career, and in later years, for pleasure. He was a connoisseur of fine food and drink, and loved to share that passion with family and friends. If you ever needed a dining recommendation, whether near or far, he frequently had a suggestion. At the core of his being, Michael was a teacher. His first job when arriving in Canada was as an industrial arts teacher at Hantsport School. He continued his teaching career across Nova Scotia, in the Yukon, and British Columbia. When his career path took a turn toward computer analytics, he stayed true to his nature, teaching software systems to organizations across the world. He had a brilliant mind, and his ability to retain and recall information was phenomenal. His soul was gentle and giving, so never did he make you feel intimidated by his ability. He shared his knowledge and experience so freely, and for that, he touched the lives of many across the world. He was a tried and true fan of the Boston Bruins, and spent many a Saturday night enjoying CBC’s Hockey Night In Canada. He was passionate, fun-loving and genuinely interested in those around him. He was always a gentleman, had a wonderful sense of humour, spoke with the most beautiful Irish accent, and had a wide-ranging and long-lived love affair with music. It is hard to say goodbye to him, but we are grateful that we had him in our lives. What a beautiful place this world is because of Michael (Mick)! His legacy will live on in everyone who had the good fortune to call him a family member or friend. A funeral mass will be said at a later date, at St. Margaret Bourgeois Church in Upper Tantallon, N.S. Due to COVID 19, this will be by invitation only. However the mass will be live-streamed, so people across the world can join in. When travel can resume safely, a Requiem mass will be said and internment of Michael’s ashes will take place in St. Mary’s Church in Cushendall. | MacKillop, Michael Delargy (I5505)

| 1218 | Michael Neil “Mikey” MacNEIL — Wolfville Died peacefully at home with his wife, Lorna, at his side on Monday, November 21, 2022. A longtime coach and educator in the Annapolis Valley, Mike lived his life full of love, quiet strength, and dry wit. Born in Whitney Pier, N.S., in 1945, Mikey was the fourth of 10 children raised in the Ashby neighbourhood of Sydney, N.S. An air cadet and late-blooming athlete at Sydney Academy, he excelled at baseball, basketball, and soccer, leading to an interest in physical education that diverted him from the Air Force to the Nova Scotia Teacher's College in 1964. It was there, in Truro in 1965, that he gave a lift to friends and picked up a young Lorna Banks from Hantsport, another TC student. They married in their adopted home of Wolfville in 1971. After Teacher's College, Mike became the first physical education teacher at Hantsport School before heading to Xavier College and then St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, where he put his athletic skills to use playing varsity soccer and garnering a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education. It was an experience and degree of which he was exceptionally proud, leading to lifelong support for his fellow X-men and X-women wherever they played. Upon graduation Mike, and eventually Lorna, took a job with the remarkable staff of Horton High School in 1971, with a lively young cohort of enthusiastic teachers, many of whom became their closest friends. Mike coached multiple sports at Horton, most prominently as head coach of the senior boys' soccer team, from 1971 to 2006. His strong, determined soccer teams finished runner up in the provincial final numerous times, yet Mike was never bitter, instead focusing on next season. He was inducted into the Horton Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 and received Dr. Hugh Noble Hall of Honour in 2017. After 29 years teaching, Mike took early retirement in 1998 and devoted time to his second love, golf. Early morning weekday rounds at Ken Wo with his retired teacher friends were religiously attended. His consistent drive and careful putting led him to an eventual 6 handicap. In 2006, Mike organized a week-long pilgrimage with 11 buddies to the home of golf that would be among his fondest memories. After Lorna retired in 2007, the pair spent nearly all their winters in Florida, golfing daily and enjoying visits from their two children and beloved grandkids. Despite living with Parkinson's for more than 20 years, Mike never complained. Instead, he focused on what he did have - a loving marriage and happy family, walks with Lorna, and unlimited rounds of golf at Ken Wo. His final round on the course, and in life, was with Lorna at his side. He was a proud and gentle father and grampy. A life well led; he is dearly missed. Mike was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Sarah MacNeil; brother, Gerard; sisters-in-law, Maxine MacClure, Doreen Fraser, and Brenda MacNeil; and brothers-in-law, Ronald Banks, Shelley Pearson, and Teddy Mills. Burial will take place in the Willow Bank Cemetery, Wolfville. Donations in memory may be made to KidSport Nova Scotia, Valley Regional Hospital Foundation, or Parkinson Society Nova Scotia. | MacNeil, Michael Neil (I2630)

| 1220 | Mildred Maude WEST — Kentville Mildred was born on November 24th in Dawson’s Cove, Hermitage, Nfld. She was the third of four children of Curtis and Dorothy (Roberts) Crewe. Mildred attended school in Dawson’s Cove and Hermitage. She loved Newfoundland and often told stories of growing up in a fishing village. Mildred loved jumping the ice flows out in the harbour and getting into loads of trouble. She moved to Halifax in 1949, met Gerald West and they were married in the St. George Anglican Church in June 1950. They moved, with their three sons, Stephen, Kevin and Michael, to the Annapolis Valley in 1958 to a house they built in Lockhartville.

She taught Sunday school, was a member of the Minas Wave Seniors, the Lockhartville sewing club and the Lockhartville/Avonport CGIT. She was an honorary member of the Flower Cart Society and the Charles MacDonald House Museum. Mildred was an avid clogger. In 1970, she took a 12-week course in clogging with the Good Time Cloggers in New Minas. After that there was no stopping her. She danced and clogged at any music function, jam or gathering she attended. On more than one occasion, it was rumored that Mildred was seen clogging on a table. She also played the autoharp and a mean set of spoons. Mildred taught cake decorating, made and decorated cakes for all occasions and celebrations (they were as delicious as they were beautiful). Mildred was a quilter, she loved to make quilts, beautiful quilts! We are fortunate to have some in our homes. Her living room was often lost in a huge quilting frame with a group of friends sewing, laughing and chatting. We will always remember her delicious and lively family dinners, especially the Christmas dinners where she would douse the plum pudding with 151 proof rum and light it up. Sometimes we’d have to beat the flames down before the tablecloth caught fire. Mildred and Gerald loved to travel, their journeys took them to Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico. After their retirement, they spent their winters in Florida. Their yearly parties in Evangeline Beach were epic, fun and went until all hours. Mildred loved her family, especially her sons. She was a superhero to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She leaves us with so many wonderful memories and stories. Mildred was predeceased by her husband, Gerald; sons, Stephen and Michael; her sister, Anne and brothers, Gerald and Roy Crewe. Mildred has been cremated, as that was her wish. A service for Mildred will take place in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville on Friday, January 26th at 1 p.m. | Crewe, Mildred Maude (I2192)

| 1229 | Moir, Elizabeth “Rose” – age 77 of Hantsport, formerly of Middleton, passed away Friday January 3, 2020 at home. She was predeceased by her husband, Garland Moir and her mother, Mary Pictou. Mom’s final wishes were for her to die in her home and family ensured this was carried through, even though it was very tough for them. We would like to thank the Glooscap Band and Health Centre, the home support services of the VON and most especially Carla Hebert because without her, mom would likely not have been able to stay in her home. Mom loved many things, but nothing better than shopping! Although she enjoyed the better things in life, she did love a bargain, especially something shiny from Dollarama. Another love of hers was travelling. She took many road trips within the Atlantic Provinces and if you know any of her children, you also know that we all love a good road trip! She enjoyed an annual August trip, sometimes with family, to the South shore, enjoying the beaches there. This past summer Jeannie and Crystal went along because Mom was not well enough to travel without assistance, but was determined to go just the same. Stubbornness and sheer determination are qualities that Mom always had and it was that determination that kept her going so long! Mom fulfilled a dream to drive the Alaska Highway with her husband, a trip she reminisced about so often. She also traveled across Canada twice and went to Europe with a friend while Crystal was living there. Crystal will tell you while there, she was delighted in the shopping opportunities, picking up little things for the shop she owned at the time. Mom was involved with the Native Council of Nova Scotia and fought for her right to regain her status that she lost when she married her first husband. In 1986 she and all Canadian Native women in her similar situation won that fight and were reinstated. Mom worked many jobs over the years to support her family. She was a waitress, a housekeeper, ran a canteen, drove a taxi, worked aboard a ship with the Bedford Institute of Technology, worked in Public Relations at the Native Council of Nova Scotia and worked at Camp Aldershot every summer until her business grew so much that her time was required there. Next to her family, what mom was most proud of was the business that she and her husband grew over the years. Greenleaf Enterprises was like a child to her and she worked hard developing and growing it. At its height, she managed six full size greenhouses, a flower shop, where she had a strong business in floral arrangements and the sales of memorial stones. She sold her business and retired to her First Nation community of Glooscap about 20 years ago. Mom had four daughters who grew into independent strong women, all who reside outside the Glooscap community. Her three sons were very close to her and all live within the community. She loved all her children very much and worried about them often. What her daughter, Mary remembers most about mom is that she always fought for her to live a normal life in spite of her special needs. She was determined to treat her the same as her siblings, so when she misbehaved she got punished as well. Mom stood by Mary’s side during many surgeries; fought to get her in public schools and supported her to live independently. Mom enjoyed her life to the fullest! She enjoyed some traditions like, homemade cabbage rolls during the Christmas holidays, Midnight Mass, the banging of pots and pans and/or shooting her gun off to bring in the Yew Year. She loved summertime camping, swimming, beachcombing and bonfires, as well as the annual hunting trip to the Cape Breton Highlands. She loved birthday celebrations and really any reason to have a celebratory drink and later in life, she enjoyed a good game of Skip Boo! Visitation will be held from 2-4 & 6-8 pm Wednesday, January 8, 2020 in the Middleton Funeral Home 398 Main St., Middleton N.S. toll free 1-855-825-3448. A memorial service will be held at 1 pm Thursday, January 9, 2020 at St. Monica’s Catholic Church, Middleton with Father Ron Cairns officiating with a reception following. Interment will take place in St. Lawrence Cemetery, Kingston. Flowers welcome. | Pictou, Elizabeth (I11105)
