| 1682 | With heavy hearts the family of Wanda Johnston, 65 of Bishopville, share the passing of a beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, cousin, and friend. On March 13, 2022, she passed away peacefully in her home ‘on the hill’. Wanda was the proud daughter of Gladys (Atwell) and the late Roy Miner. In addition to her father, Wanda was predeceased by the love of her life, Shannon Johnston. Wanda began her early career in radio at AVR. She later worked in local schools as an educational assistant where she exemplified her passion for helping others. After spending a number of years at home raising her children and grandchildren, Wanda ventured to Nunavut. She cherished her time in Iqaluit working in hospitality and schools before joining the airline industry. She fell in love with The North and the many friends she and her husband, Shannon, met there. Her love of animals began at an early age and is one of the many gifts she passed on to her children and grandchildren. She always had a pet or two or more, but she was most excited to bring her dream to life of owning her own small farm on the family homestead on the hill. It was here on the family farm that she passed on the knowledge and love especially of horses that she had learned from her dad and special aunt, Pearl Myles. Although the farm grew quiet in the recent year it was a wonderful home for many four-legged family members over the years. She will be dearly missed by her little buddy Fern. Wanda enjoyed a good cup of coffee or tea with great company, many friends and family have enjoyed many cups with good conversation over the years. She found great joy preparing a meal for her loved ones. Among so many things her famous carrot cake and chocolate chip cookies will be dearly missed by many. A Graveside Service will be held at a later date. A Celebration of Life Gathering for friends and family will held on April 15, 2022 at 2:00 at 1802 Bishopville Rd. Memorial donations may be made to the Bishopville Cemetery or charity of one’s choice. | Miner, Wanda (I9223)

| 1683 | With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Jana Frances Church, age 68, of Falmouth, on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, in the Windsor Elms Village, with family by her side. Born August 31, 1955, in Wolfville, NS, she was a daughter of the late Jean Harvie. Jana had a lifetime of love. Hardships became opportunities to show love and bring people together. She was a mother to all, including her children’s friends, and dozens of foster children over the years who found safety and love with her in their own difficult times. Her smile was infectious and her laugh heartfelt. She inspired a love of adventure in her children and grandchildren, and enjoyed taking spontaneous little adventures, whether it was a trip to the beach with her grandchildren, or sneaking her daughter out of elementary school to go skiing at Martock. She loved, and was loved. Besides her mother, she was predeceased by her brother George Harvie; and her sister Cheryl (Dale) Hiltz. Interment will be in the Centre Falmouth Cemetery. | Harvie, Jana Frances (I4704)

| 1685 | With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Andrea Beryl Porter Stevens, our irreplaceable mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She left us peacefully on Monday, June 10th, at her home in Hantsport, surrounded by family and friends, at the age of 73. Andrea was born six weeks premature (shortly after an ill-advised bumpy-country-road trip to Pugwash Point), on August 18th, 1950 in Windsor, to Don and Dorothy (Demings) Porter of Hantsport. She grew up in Hantsport on Maple Ave, and her community and its people always held a central place in her life - especially her core group of chosen sisters: Linda, Josie, Audrey, Debbie, Lilla, and her life-long penfriend, Lois. Throughout her entire life, everywhere she ever went, she collected friends - she just loved people. Whether during her twenty-seven year career at Scotiabank and Symcor, or running around the province in summer co-raising kids with the other baseball wives, her ability to form, build on, and sustain relationships across decades was one of her super-powers. Her friends were her wealth, and she was truly rich. She loved her family fiercely and revelled in family time together - especially at home in Hantsport and at Pugwash Point. It was people, and especially her family and friends that really filled her up, and her glass (in her own words) was perpetually half-full, right up to the end. She leaves behind her an abundance of family and friends who simply adored her. She was predeceased by her parents, and brother, Cameron. Radiant and smiling until the very end, in her family’s eyes, she was the most stupendous of mothers; the most magical of humans. She taught us all what she saw as the pillars of a life well-lived: Family, Love, Friends, Hugs, Kindness, and Hope. She has always been our centre, our lynchpin, our lodestar, and the hole she leaves in our midst will never be filled. In our hearts we will always remember and honour her. She will live on in the memories of her family, in the laughter and embraces shared between her friends and cousins, in the songs sung around campfires at the Point, and in the hearts of all those who had the privilege of knowing what it felt like to be hugged by her. A celebration of life will be held at Riverbank Cemetery in Hantsport on Saturday, July 13, beginning at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Andrea to the Hantsport Memorial Community Centre (HMCC), Arthritis Society Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, or the Nova Scotia SPCA. | Porter, Andrea Beryl (I963)
