ALCOCK William A. (Bill) April 8, 1946 -- May 18, 2020 We announce with sadness and broken hearts that Bill passed peacefully away at his home on May 18, 2020 in the presence of his loving family after a brief illness. Predeceased by his parents Arthur (Hap) and Jean Alcock. Leaving to mourn are his wife Marliese, his love, soulmate, comfort, travel mate and golf buddy for the past ten years; his children whom he proudly and lovingly raised himself from ages 7 and 4: Erin (Ken Stockley) and Philip (Courtenay); stepchildren Sonya Janes and Ian (Adrea) Janes; sister-in-law Doris (Bernd) Galinski, Mother-in law Jannie (Ralph) Ford; grandchildren Avery and Griffin Alcock; Monika, Katie and Evelyn Stockley; Klara and Greta Janes; brother David (Gwen); nephew Bruce Alcock (Tina) and family Olivia & Otto, and niece Lindsay Alcock and family Alex & Nathan Glynn; cousins among the extended family include many other Alcocks, Lindsays and Palmers spread across the country who are far too many to name here. Also left to mourn are Bill's many friends and acquaintances whom he was privileged to know. If Bill were to write his own obituary, he would probably say something like, "I came into this life early and I had a good run. That's it!" However, we need to provide a few more details for people to know and remember this wonderful man. Bill was born, raised and received his early education in Corner Brook. He obtained his B Comm. from Memorial University in 1971 and, with scroll in hand, embarked upon a long and distinguished labour relations practitioner career starting with the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Treasury Board Collective Bargaining Division. His labour relations knowledge and his negotiating skills next led him to the private sector as Director of the Construction Labour Relations Association where he honed his skills and expertise in dealing with the many Building Trade Unions, earning an enviable measure of respect few people can claim. In the wider labour relations community, Bill served many years as a member of the Labour Relations Board, and during 1995-96 he voluntarily served his Province as a key member of the Ace Commission Labour Relations Working Group whose mandate was to work towards the creation of a new climate in labour-management relations and to recommend legislative changes. In more recent years, Bill developed a wide-ranging consulting business with clients throughout the Island and Labrador. Community service was always important to him. Over the years, he served as a member of the John Howard Society, Scout Leader, Sports coach and Rugby enthusiast following Philip's athletic career. But his most significant and longest service was with Rotary as a cheerful and dependable volunteer involved in dozens of Community Projects. If fundraising for worthy causes were an Olympic event, Bill would have double gold medals. One for barbecuing hamburgers and the other (with Marliese) for sponsoring the annual Rotary Day For a Family at "Lake Alcock". His many other fundraising efforts were no less deserving. Above all else in Bill's life was his love and devotion to his children and grandchildren. Lake Alcock was installed more than 30 years ago for their safety and enjoyment, a benefit which grew to be shared annually by waves of new infants peeing in the pool for the first time -- to Bill's absolute delight. He loved each and every one of them, and was even partial to some of the parents they brought with them. Over the years, the summer opening of "Uncle Bill's" pool was excitedly anticipated by hundreds of young and old alike. He was happiest of all when he could look out over Lake Alcock and see their smiling faces and hear their laughter. Family was everything to Bill; he loved and cared for them all passionately to the very end. An avid golfer, Bill took his last mulligan on the 18th fairway of life today. He loved life. When he left life, he left his love behind to fill our hearts whenever we need it. We are all so very very fortunate to have his gift that keeps on giving. The family wish to thank Dr. David Hart for his kindness and support Cremation has taken place. No flowers by request. Due to the current Covid restrictions, A celebration of Bill's life will be held at a later time. Well-wishers are requested to visit www.barretts.ca to leave messages of condolence. Donations may be made to the Food Bank or the charity of ones' choice.

BARNABLE (NEE CRANE) Margaret J. July 9, 1934 - May 11, 2020 It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our loving mother Margaret on Monday, May 11, 2020, at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's NL, at the age of 85 years. She was predeceased by her devoted husband and love of her life, John (Jack) Barnable; her parents Patrick (Paddy) and Mary Crane (nee O'Toole); her infant sisters Catherine and twins Jean and Joan, sister Gloria (Crane) White, brother William (Bill) Crane; her nephew Boyd Payne and step-niece, Lana Pinksen (Bill and Julie). Her oldest brother Raymond Crane (Eileen) joined her in eternal rest on May 13, 2020. She was also predeceased by many beloved in-laws and relations on her husband Jack's side of the family. Leaving to mourn, her four children Jackie (Barnable) Dyson and Neil Barnable (Lisa), of Winnipeg; Judy (Barnable) Shadlock (Ian) of Norwich, UK; Wendy Barnable (Tim) of Halifax; her seven grandchildren Courtney Dyson (Alec), Adam Dyson, Joel Dyson (Roxane), Maggie Barnable (Ethan) and Kate Barnable, all of Winnipeg; Kyle Shadlock (Evlyn) and Kaitlyn Shadlock of Norwich, UK; and her two great-granddaughters Abigail and Kaia in Winnipeg who will miss their "G-Nanny" so very much. Also mourning her loss, her sisters Patricia Crane and Anne Marie Sullivan (Ronnie), brother Randy Crane (Madonna), brother-in-law Ron White (Lucy) and sister-in-law Julie Crane (Bill), as well as her remaining Barnable in-laws, brother-in-law Stan Barnable and his wife Frances, and brother-in-law Bernard Agriesti (Dorothy). As a matriarch of both the Crane and the Barnable families, Auntie Marg leaves behind many cherished nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. She loved you all dearly. Special mention to her niece Krista, who was like another daughter to her. She will also be missed by her many cousins in Boston, USA, descendants of her mother, with whom she maintained close relationships over the years. Mom was born in Ferryland, NL and grew up on Sunny Hill. She attended Littledale Teacher's College in St. John's and began her teaching career in Calvert, NL at the young age of 19. She married her handsome fireman Jack in 1955 and began raising her family in Ferryland. In 1964, they moved to Labrador, to the "little house that Jack built", where they lived for 28 years. She started teaching Kindergarten at Our Lady Queen of Peace (OLQP) School in 1967 and was known to generations of loving students as "Mrs. B" until retiring in 1991. They returned "Home from Home" in 1992 and took up residence in Mount Pearl until Dad's passing in 2002. Mom moved to Tiffany Village Retirement Residence in St. John's in 2012. She loved her life there, and made many dear friends, including all the staff. Mom was a very social person, who thrived on maintaining old friendships and cultivating new ones. She often said she was never bored, there was always "something to do". She loved a good game of Scrabble, playing cards, doing crosswords, and knitting. She also had a passion for the arts - poetry, writing, attending dance recitals, plays, theatre, live music and concerts. Over her lifetime she was a tireless volunteer, involved in the OLQP school community and parish, the Catholic Women's League, the Newfoundland Teachers' Association, the Snowflake Figure Skating Club and many others. Most of all, Mom loved being surrounded by family and friends, and it is a cruel blow of fate that current conditions do not permit large gatherings so that we can grieve together and honour her life and the beautiful person that she was. A Celebration of Life will be held as soon as larger gatherings are permitted. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mom's memory to support the restoration of historic Ferryland Church, a beautiful stone church that was a focal point in Mom's life. To donate, you may send cheque or money order to Holy Trinity Restoration Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 195, Ferryland, NL A0A 2H0. Donations may also be made online through GoFundMe (or visit www.gofundme.com and search Margaret Barnable). Cremation has taken place. Online condolences may be shared at www.cauls.ca
We also welcome your condolences and memories of Mom on Facebook (In Loving Memory of Margaret Barnable). She will be cherished and missed forever

CRITCH Brenda With sadness and deep affection, we announce the passing of Brenda Critch (1959-2020), on May 21st, 2020, in St. John's, NL. Brenda Critch is predeceased by her parents, Mary and Cecil Critch, her father-in-law Bill Hocquard. She leaves to mourn a vibrant circle of friends who are family and family who are friends: her loving partner of 30 years, Daphne Hocquard; siblings, Fr. Cecil, Yvonne, Fr. Gerard, Pat (Dot), Fr. Frank, Calvin(Patsy), Ellie (Frank) and Wally (Darlene), and their families; her mother-in-law Mrs. Joan Hocquard,, brothers-in-law George and Shane, and their families. Grieving also are many devoted friends throughout Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the Gaspe' Peninsula. Brenda grew up in Gaskiers, and at Dunne Memorial High school was a decorated athlete. She took her 'St. Mary's Bay values' with her wherever she went, especially her humour and her legendary hospitality. She was an outstanding creative chef. Her affable nature, love of food and keen political instincts made all aspects of a dinner party with her memorable. Though Brenda received her cancer diagnosis some eight years ago (and underwent multiple surgeries and treatments that most would shy from or buckle under), her story is not one of suffering or loss. Rather, Brenda's life and death speak to resiliency, abiding love from and for family and friends, and personal courage. Remarkably, Brenda was too busy living- even when faced with the certainty of dying, a stage-four status did not diminish her laughter, her resolve, or her Faith. Entrepreneurial in spirit, Brenda and Daphne co-created and managed multiple businesses including Duck Street Bistro in St. John's and the Elephant's Eye Cafe in Halifax; most recently they co-founded the Wine Rack-It, even as Brenda's health diminished. Special thanks to the medical professionals who, with their compassion and skill, cared for Brenda, especially Dr. Patti Power, Cathy Cahill, Dr. Scott Moffatt, Dr. Michael Bautista, and the medical teams at both the Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre and the Palliative Care Unit at the Miller Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations in Brenda's memory may be made to the Gathering Place, which is dedicated to feeding the poor of the city. It is a special place which aligns with Brenda's generous nature in making space for everyone, especially around a dinner table. A Funeral Mass at the Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. John's, NL, along with a celebration of Brenda's life are to be held at a future date once the health protocols for Covid-19 allow for it. Burial will take place at the family plot in St. Mary's.

CROCKER Bertha Elizabeth APRIL 21, 1927 - MAY 7, 2020 It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of our beloved, Bertha Elizabeth Crocker, who passed peacefully away on May 7, 2020 after a brief hospitalization at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital. She was 93 years old. Cherished by many, Bertha was also known as Mom, Nanny, Nan-Nan, and Aunt Bertie. Forever loved by her five children, Robert (Donna), Donald, Sharon Burry (Glenn), Lisa Bailey (Paul), and Alex (Debbie Hall); grandchildren, Donald Crocker, Alison Greenoff (Stu), Matthew Burry, and Mitchell Burry (Chelsea); and her precious great-granddaughter Addie, who carries her Nan-Nan's picture around everywhere she goes. Bertha is leaving behind many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends who will miss her dearly. Also leaving to mourn with fond memories, her special niece and best friend Faith Squires (Charlie), who she spoke with on the phone every morning after mass and throughout the day sometimes and her dear friend Kevin Newhook, who gifted her with favourite romance novels over the years and kept her laughing. Bertha was predeceased by her husband Alexander Crocker (1995), her parents Robert and Amelia Fisher (Hussey), all of her ten siblings, and their spouses. Bertha grew up in St. John's, NL. She raised her family in 'Rabbittown' and in later years moved in with her daughter Lisa, son-in-law Paul, and granddaughter Alison. Lisa was Bertha's primary caregiver. Throughout the years, Lisa and Paul were devoted to Bertha's care, ensuring her a safe and happy home. When Bertha's health began to significantly decline, she transitioned to her new home, Cradea Manor. To Patricia Sturge and all the staff and residents of Cradea Manor, you became a part of Bertha's extended family. You treated her with such care and compassion - truly making the last year of her life one that was filled with many new friendships, laughter, and so much love. We want to express our sincere gratitude to you for your loving kindness. Much appreciation is being sent to Dr. Kathleen Halley for her many years of dedicated medical care to Bertha, and Dr. Dennis O'Keefe for following her during her last year of life. Many thanks to the nursing staff of Cradea Manor. To the outstanding nurses and doctors of the ER and 5 East at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, as well as the clergy who visited her during her last days; you were all amazing and allowed Bertha to pass with dignity and grace. We are forever grateful to you. Bertha was a woman of great faith. She enjoyed watching Mass on TV and looked forward to her daily chat with her niece, as well as many other phone calls from her children and friends. If you ever found yourself in a hard way, you could count on 'Nan's prayers' to pull you through dark times. She loved to knit, read, and watch the news. But more than anything, she could not wait for her weekly Sunday drive, getting ice cream from Dairy Queen with Lisa and Paul, and having many family adventures with Alison, Stu, and Addie. Our favourite memory is going 'camping' at a cabin in Tors Cove when Addie was just learning to crawl. Nan-Nan belly-laughed all weekend and adored watching her treasured great-granddaughter roll around at her feet. There will be no wake or funeral service due to the current COVID-19 precautions. Cremation has taken place as per Bertha's request. There will be a private family service and her ashes will be placed alongside her husband. In her memory, donations can be made to St. Patrick's Church or a Charity of one's choice.
Should you ever find yourself lonely or in dark times, simply ask for 'Nan's prayers' and she will most certainly pull you through. Go now in peace, Nanny.

She was a lover of music and the performing arts. She played piano and was often found dancing in the kitchen while getting supper ready. She was an avid reader and always enjoyed a game of cards. Whether it was with her family or her weekly card group of 50 years, she cherished moments laughing and chatting while sitting around the table. Mom always said it wasn't about the cards, it was about the friendships. She treasured and loved her card ladies dearly. Mom loved birthdays and always told us she was going to live to be 100. Mainly because she wanted to see all her eleven grandkids grow up and to be part of every milestone in their lives. If you asked any of her grandkids, Who is your biggest fan? They would undoubtedly say 'Nana'. She believed in us all, even when we struggled to believe in ourselves. She taught us how to live a good life: the importance of small acts of kindness, forgiveness, perseverance, family, friendship, optimism, dreaming big, unconditional love, and of course, a tea bun & a good cup of tea. In the last few years, Mom was diagnosed with two rare neurological diseases, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Frontotemporal Dementia, and these slowly took away her independence and cognitive abilities. Gratefully, however, she never forgot her close family. Eventually, Mom moved to Glenbrook Lodge and we are forever thankful to the entire staff who provided such exemplary care, professionalism, compassion, and kindness to both our Mom and Dad. And we wish to thank all of Mom's previous health care workers. Mom is resting at Caul's Funeral Home and due to the current pandemic restrictions, a private family service will be held on May 22, 2020. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, you may consider a donation in Mom's memory to a charity of your choice.
Forever in our hearts. We did not want to let you go. A gentle woman with a strong faith, you are now at peace. Love you forever and a day - sweet mother, wife, Nana, sister, and friend. "Help Yourself to Happiness" by Helen Steiner Rice, a poem that Mom cherished; "…Unaware that happiness is just a "state of mind" Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind - For in making Others Happy we will be happy, too, For the happiness you give away returns to "shine on you."

GLAVIN (the 3rd) Stephen John Sept. 17, 1960 - May 19, 2020 A cherished father, fiancé, son, brother, uncle, cousin and colleague. Your maps steered you away from us for now but you will never be far from our hearts and minds.

Fondly remembered by fun-loving step siblings and Kingsford Crescent neighbours Jamie, Alexander and Pamela Black. A pioneer in digital ocean mapping Steve attained a Masters in Environmental Science from Queens' University and Geography/Cartography 1st Class Honours Bachelor from Carleton University. At first "on loan" from Hydrographic Services and then outright "stolen" by a St. John's nautical data firm Steve sailed on vessels and worked out of Monaco, Iceland, Scotland - to name but a few. Ever humble, he once passed on an offer to show his work to Queen Elizabeth II. Raised in a new suburb of Ottawa, Steve had "rock star" status in Kanata due to his singular clothing style and singular talents ... his artwork, his eclectic musical discoveries, his house design/renovations and prowess in the outdoors. Steve trained for long canoe portages, fashioned clothes from hides and built shelters. A backyard fort he made for his children was admired by architects. His magnetic personality, quick wit and intelligence will be sorely missed. Thankfully his traits have been passed on to his children; Flora has his artistic gene in abundance. Since he was equally content next to one of his famous bonfires with his oceanview, Outer Cove as watching elks off his backyard in Belmont we will always be with you when in nature. Celebrations of his life to be announced when loved ones may gather closer together. Condolences at www.funeraloptions.ca Donations in his name to MUN Radio, St. John's, Newfoundland.

"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the way, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun, Of happy memories that I leave When life is done."

HUSSEY John Thomas Nov. 28, 1934 - May 14, 2020 (85 years) It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that the family of John Hussey announce his peaceful passing at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital on May 14th, 2020. Predeceased by three of his beloved sons: Randolph, Paul and Randy. John is also predeceased by his mother Martha, father George, sisters Florence and Vera, and brothers Bill, George and Harold. His life, legacy and loving memories are cherished by his wife of 63 years, Irene, and sons Johnny (Marie), Scott (Brenda), Lindy and Tommy. Left to mourn with love and wonderful memories are his seven grandchildren: Nicole, Carla, Amanda, Krista (Frank), Scotty (Chelsea), Jonell (Josh) and Johnathan. His 16 great-grandchildren will also miss their 'popa Jack'. John also leaves to mourn his brother Cecil (Isabel) as well as a large extended family of nephews, nieces, cousins and in-laws. John was a Korean War Veteran who often reminisced about his time overseas. He was proud that he was able to serve his country and province. When guests or family visited his home, he would proudly 'show off' his metals (which are displayed on the walls) as he reflected on his time during the war. John thoroughly enjoyed his cabin in Salmonier Line for over 50 years. Being outdoors rabbit/moose hunting, fishing and tending his vegetable garden were all his sanctuary. Also, at the cabin, you would find John drying his caplin and enjoying a 'well deserved' feed of salt-fish and potatoes! John loved to 'announce' his presence at the cabin by belting out his Tarzan call! He absolutely lived for the days when he could get outside or in the woods with 'a swallie' to enjoy nature and all of its abundance. The family would like to thank the support, care and kindness of the staff of the 6th floor at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital during John's last three weeks. They went above and beyond and the overall attention to the family and John's needs was exemplary. Due to the current global pandemic of Covid-19, a celebration of John's life will be announced at a later date. The immediate family will be having a graveside burial on Saturday, May 23rd at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. In lieu of visitation at this time, the family and staff of Barrett's Funeral Home encourage people to post their condolences, share photos and tributes by visiting the online memorial guestbook at www.barretts.ca Donations in memory of John can be made to a charity of your choice.

JEON Yong-Kee It is with profound sadness that we convey the peaceful passing at home of Dr. Yong-Kee Jeon, age 91. A loving husband, father, grandfather and exceptional physician, he completed his journey on a beautiful sunny Mother's Day morning and entered into the event horizon on May 10th, 2020, surrounded by his loving family. His parents, Jeon, Bong-Un (Father), Tack, Bong-Yon (Mother), Hong-Kee (Brother), Chung-Kee (Brother), Hong-Ryun (Sister) and Robert (Moon-Sung, nephew), and close friend Dr. Robert Kavanagh, predecease him. Left with a legacy of a compassionate life fulfilled, is his devoted, caring wife of 62 years, Suk-Gue, Hong-Suk (Sister), sons Paul (Roberta Hynes), Peter (Lyne Denis), Albert (Elaine Bergen), daughters Susan (Marty Cormier), Patricia (Greg Clooney) and niece Kukhui (Jae Park). Granddad also leaves behind a treasure trove of lifetime PEI memories with his beloved grandchildren: grandsons Eric, Gregory, Guilluame, Alexander, Benjamin, and granddaughters Ashley, Catherine, Allison and Erin. He will be dearly missed by his extended Brookfield family particularly Joann Atwood, Doris Kean, Marilyn Sturge Jacobs, Betty Spurrell, Ken Hoyles and of course his "other #1 son" Dr. Roger Butler. He also will be cherished by a large circle of lifetime family, friends and colleagues throughout the province and country. In 1968, he was destined to work in Brookfield Cottage Hospital, New-Wes-Valley, Bonavista Bay where he stayed for 25+ years. While there, he established a lasting legacy of compassion, caring, and medical/surgical excellence all accented with a clinical acumen that was unmatched. He dedicated his life and his vast skill set to the service of the people of New-Wes-Valley. His great, unwavering faith in God gave him the strength to accomplish this with great humility and gentleness. In 1988, the Canadian Family Practitioner of the Year Award was given to Yong-Kee, the first time that a Newfoundland doctor had achieved this distinction. His greatest honour was the renaming of the Brookfield Cottage Hospital to the Dr. Y.K. Jeon, Kittiwake Health Centre in 2015. We will always be indebted to Dr. Roger Butler and his amazing team including Carolyn Chong (OT) and Jennifer Williams (RN), and Community Health care nurse April Adams for their superlative skills and compassionate care. A special thanks is extended to Dr. F. Maroun for his friendship and long-time clinical care and to Dr. A. Englebrecht, Dr. B. Galway, Dr. C. Orr, Dr. J. Whelan and Dr. D. Dunphy for their outstanding medical care through the years. Our heartfelt thanks is expressed to the TLC home care group including, Amy, Imelda, Janet, Sheila, Lily, Daisy and Helen for their dedication and support. Our sincere gratitude is delivered to Father Tony Bidgood, his devoted pastoral team especially Mary and Joe Murphy, and St Teresa's Parish for providing their tender, spiritual guidance, and a welcoming and supportive home to worship in. Finally, we send an eternal thank you to the people of New-Wes-Valley for bestowing a safe, nurturing and happy environment upon our family to grow and thrive in and always call home. The wisdom of Buddha eloquently personifies Yong Kee's life: "Teach this triple truth to all: a generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things that sustain and renew humanity". In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the Dr. Y.K. Jeon Kittiwake Health Center, c/o: Tracey.Kean@Centralhealth.nl.ca or by cheque and mail to Central Northeast Health Foundation P.O. Box 222 Gander, NL A1V 1W6. All donations in Dr. Jeon's memory will be reserved for Dr. Y.K. Jeon Kittiwake Health Centre or Bonnews Lodge.

KEELING-WALSH Judy
Judy Keeling Walsh
, 73, of Largo died suddenly in her home May 14th, 2020. Judy was born in Heart's Delight, NFLD as the second child of Isabel and Wendel Harnum. She graduated with her Nursing degree from General Hospital School of Nursing in St. Johns NFLD. Judy loved her chosen profession. She taught nursing and continued expanding her education right up to the day she died. Judy was preceded in death by her parents Isabel and Wendel. She is survived by her husband of 28 Years, Timothy Patrick Walsh; her siblings, Paula Harnum Brown and Robert. Judy has two daughters, Christina Keeling and Staci van Wyk; grandchildren, Sarah and Johnnie van Wyk. Her patients thought the world of her, her co-workers were grateful to have her on their teams and her supervisors wanted to clone her. She had a passion for life and a boundless energy that infused every room she walked into. She loved to be doing something. If there wasn't a project already underway she created a new one. Tim thought the sun rose and set with her and happily knocked down walls or put up shelving wherever she wanted it. For the last years of her life Tim was living in a memory care facility. Early in the disease Judy's loving care kept him cognizant far longer than anyone could believe. That care continued into the facility with daily visits, bringing him clean clothes and ensuring he was groomed as meticulously as ever. With COVID regulations she was no longer allowed to visit him in person but she found a way. Bringing him sweet treats and foamy Frappuccino's the girls on the floor would pick up at the door and bring it to him on the second floor patio where she could watch him enjoy them. Not capable of hugging him broke her heart and added to the stress and responsibilities she carried bravely without complaint. Being forced to stay home in quarantine for 8 weeks was difficult for her. Her energy had to go somewhere so it went to another of her passions; any home improvement project she could think of. Between climbing on ladders to clean gutters and working outside to paint the patio deck and fencing Judy never stopped. Until she truly stopped... Judy's ashes will remain in Florida until Tim is ready to join her. The family is planning a celebration of her life when this crazy world we now live in gets back to some sort of normal, when it's safe to come together again. We will announce that at a later date. Please do not send flowers. If you would like to honor her life, a donation to Alzheimer's Disease in your community would be appreciated.

MACKEY Benjamin Thomas January 4, 2005 - May 13, 2020 It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of our dear sweet boy Benjamin, age 15 years, with his family holding him and loving him as he made his way to heaven. He leaves to mourn his loving and very proud parents, Lisa and Leonard, his amazing brother and sister, Connor (11) and Emily (8), his many fur siblings, grandparents John and Carmel Power, Leonard (deceased) and Marie Mackey, aunts and uncles Michelle Stevenson, Keith and Natalie Power, Glenn Power (godfather) and Tammy Parsons, Tony (deceased) and Sonya Mackey (godmother), Neil and Barb Mackey, Glenn Mackey, Anita and Sterling Foote, Dean and Heather Mackey, Donald and Pam Mackey, numerous cousins, and many many friends. Benjamin had a very challenging yet beautiful life. He came into this world on his own terms 15 weeks early. The first 6 months of his life were spent at the Janeway. Many of the staff became like family and helped care for him over the years. He became known for keeping his medical team guessing. We always said he was adding a new chapter in the "Book of Benjamin". Benjamin had incredible strength, determination, and a love of life. He loved to have fun! Whether it was horseback riding with Rainbow Riders, swimming and music with Easter Seals, playing baseball with his Challenger Baseball League, bowling, going for walks and feeding the ducks, or watching hockey and golf. He loved all animals and he truly loved his dance parties. Thank you to the Shriner's Hospital for your assistance with Benjamin over the years. A very big thank you also to the Children's Wish Foundation. Benjamin was granted a wish and he received a hippocampe in 2016. This all terrain wheelchair provided him with the ability to explore so many new places. He was also very proud to be their Wish Ambassador that year. Benjamin had a stubborn streak, a determination not seen by many. It was clear that he was going to change the world for those around him and that he was going to be a force of positivity, joy, strength, perseverance and motivation. Many friends had the privilege of witnessing his amazing life and many more have been blessed with his beautiful smile. Benjamin loved going to school! He had fun on his school bus ride especially when he turned it into the party bus. St. Matthew's School was a huge part of his life. They made his learning fun. He enjoyed seeing each and every one of his St. Matthew's Tiger Family. He loved gym class and music class, he loved Friendship Club, reading with visiting classes, art, baking on Fridays, the occasional snuggles and sometimes doing work. He dearly loved all his teachers and assistants. Ms. Devereaux, Ms. Upshall, Ms. Bryne, Ms. Follett, and Ms. Johnson you have no idea how much you mean to us. You loved Benjamin as we did. You got him! The close bond of a sibling can never be broken. Benjamin had an amazing brother and sister. Connor and Emily helped to be his hands, legs, and voice. They have included him in everything. There was no such thing as he can't. It was how can we change it so he can. We have been so proud of their strength and love for their brother throughout their lives but especially in his last few days. They now have a special guardian angel protecting them as they did for Benjamin. Benjamin, we are honored to have been chosen as your family. You have taught us so much in your 15 years. It was difficult knowing you were writing your final chapter but we could not be prouder of you. We would like to thank the Paramedics who assisted, Dr. Conradi and Dr. Carey of PICU and all the amazing nurses and respiratory therapists who helped during this final stage of Benjamin's life. As difficult as it was you helped us to love and honor him as he gained his angel wings. Due to COVID-19, there will be no visitation or funeral service at this time. A celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Donations to the Shriner's Club or the Children's Wish Foundation are graciously accepted.
And we know Benjamin would just want everyone to smile and be kind to one another.

MANNING Monica Mary Theresa With heavy hearts we say goodbye to our loving mother, mother-in-law and grandmother Monica Mary Theresa Manning who passed away in St. John's on Wednesday, May 6, 2020. Monica was the youngest and last surviving of 13 children born to Walter and Bridget Brennan in Ship Cove, a small community nestled along the beautiful Cape Shore in Placentia Bay. On May 9, 1960 she married her one true love and exceptional life partner Gerard (Gerry) Manning from Cuslett, Cape Shore. Together they brought their children into the world and created a warm, loving home and wonderful family life in Labrador City. They lived in Labrador City until retirement in 1994. Though it was a difficult decision to leave their home of 34 years, they began a very happy new chapter in their lives in St. John's NL. Our precious mother was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many. Though she embraced life she has missed our father, who passed away in 2010, dearly. This Saturday they would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. We believe that she was determined to be with him for this milestone. Monica was predeceased by her husband Gerard (Gerry), son Todd and son-in-law Fred Moffitt.; her parents Walter and Bridget Brennan; her brothers Bill (Aggie) , Mike, Larry (Lillian) and John; her sisters Kay Bragg (Gene), Mary Murphy (Leo), Annie Tobin-Coffey (Gerald, Gus), Till Kirby (Frank), Rita Walsh (Jack), Donnie Shea (Bill), Chris Collins (Reg) and Jeannie Walsh-Cormier (Eugene, Andy).

Also leaving to mourn her sisters-in-law Nora Manning of Cuslett, NL, Mary Manning of Sackville, N.S. and brother-in-law Andy Cormier (Rejeanne) of Petit-Rocher, N.B. ; special family friends Clarence and Betty Culleton of Wabush along with a large number of nieces and nephews who dearly loved their Aunt Monica as well a very large circle of special friends and incredible neighbours all of whom have been a great source of strength and comfort to her and to us. Our dear, kind, generous and devoted Mom, Nanny, Aunt and true friend, blessed our lives with her very warm, caring soul along with her wisdom. She was an amazing and inspiring role model, always demonstrating love, peace, kindness and concern for others throughout our lives. She had a way of making everyone feel important and valued, retaining information about their lives and always asking for updates in her concerning and sincere manner. She had a special charisma that drew people toward her, engaging in meaningful interactions with all. Those who knew her felt blessed and privileged to be part of her circle. In her presence, there was an essence of Godliness. Her faith and devotion to God, St. Anthony, St. Theresa and her fervent prayer for all was sincere. She prayed with devotion and true intention receiving peace in her heart in return. Her sleep was peaceful once her nightly rosary was completed. Our family wishes to express sincere gratitude and thanks to our loving and large family and many wonderful friends who have reached out with kindness, love and support at this time. You've always been there for mom and for us. Cremation has taken place.

MAUNDER (nee KENNEDY) Peggy Sadly, the remarkable Margaret (Peggy Kennedy) Maunder has passed away. She died peacefully in Toronto on May 27th with her children Nicole (Nikki) and Roger by her side. Peggy was a unique and wonderful woman. Highly intelligent, extremely resilient and the most independent person we knew. She was beautiful and turned heads wherever she went. She had an excellent sense of humour and laughed so easily in her loud and distinctive way. She cared so deeply about her family, friends and animals. She was always there for anyone who needed her and she was fiercely loyal. She never complained despite many of the hardships she experienced over her life. She could be pessimistic, although she preferred the term "realistic." We didn't blame her, given the deck of cards she had been dealt. Born into a family of privilege, she lost her mother Mercedes Halley, her father John Kennedy and baby sister Patsy all before she was seven years old. Peggy and her brother John moved to Chicago with a stepmother who provided inadequate care. She was grateful for a loving couple nearby "Uncle Bud and Aunt Betty" who helped her and John throughout these tough years. They were eventually moved to a Catholic Orphanage near Chicago. In high school, family members in St. John's invited Peggy to visit for a few weeks over the summer. She took them up on the offer…and never left. She was the belle of the ball - a beautiful American in St. John's in the 1960s. She met many new friends, was captain of the volleyball team and excelled at school. She loved St. John's and the kindness and sensibility of Newfoundlanders. She was home. Peggy became a Registered Nurse, studying at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital. She loved her years in residence and we will always remember the stories we heard of her adventures with her friend Jean. They especially enjoyed their time working near the American naval base in Placentia. Peggy spent most of her nursing years in the Maternity Unit, followed by some time in the Psychiatric and Palliative Care units. Her closest friends were mostly those she met through nursing. After nursing school, Peggy met and married local athlete Roger Maunder and they had two children. Although they eventually divorced, Roger remained a close and trusted friend especially in her final years. He could always make her laugh. Growing up, Peg was a super mom. Despite crazy shift work at the hospital, a second job homecare nursing and two successful battles with cancer, she never missed a baseball game, ballet, piano or school recital. Nothing made her happier than filling the back of her car with a gaggle of kids and driving to Holyrood to spend the day at the swimming hole. She had the patience of Job. Nothing rattled the woman. She was calm, collected and poised all the time. Peggy was always ahead of her time. We are pretty sure she was the first person in St. John's to buy hair mousse, self-tanning lotion and a Betamax player. She taught us to be thoughtful, kind and respectful of everyone - regardless of colour or station in life. She was liberal and open-minded. Peggy was also shy and introverted. If she wasn't laughing with friends, she could be found reading a good book, watching movies (mostly horror!) and spending time with her beloved dogs - Kessler, Jake and Bolt. She dearly loved her son Roger and was always very supportive and proud of all of his endeavors. She also loved his wife Jill and his children Sidney, Declan, Clare and Ida. Peggy spent the past 4 years in Toronto with her daughter Nikki, her equally dog-loving son-in-law Brad and her grandsons Adam and Sidney. They enjoyed walking the dogs, trips to Tim Hortons, having a glass of wine and spending time together. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held in St. John's at a later date when it is safe to do so. Fond memories and online condolences can be made at www.etouch.ca (enter Maunder in search area). There is also a photo album to browse. Please feel free to add your own photos.

Special thanks to Dave Dufort (next door neighbour) and Jeff Vokey (Maria's nephew) who were eager to do anything and everything for Bert that he wanted done. He thought a lot of both of you and appreciated all that you did for him when he couldn't do it himself. Bert was a long-time employee of both the Provincial and Federal Public Sector Organizations and established his own business, AEM HR Consulting, where he provided consulting services to many Government Departments (both Provincial and Federal), Municipalities, Boards, Agencies and Unions (NAPE and Nurses' Union). At the time of his illness, he was still working part-time with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. He loved his work and enjoyed immensely the contacts he made along the way, especially his DFO colleagues. Bert had many interests but he was an avid bowler throughout the years, and played in NAPE league and Seniors League at Plaza Bowl. He was so happy when JeriLee came along as she was a bowler as well - now he had someone who understood and appreciated what he was talking about and he followed all of her tournaments in Alberta. Above all, Bert loved his time at his cabin in Ocean Pond and the visits to St. Pete's Beach, Florida where he soaked up the sun and the view of the water and enjoyed visits from his boys and their families. It was certainly his happy place. A memorial service will be held on May 27, 2020 at 2:00 pm. Due to restrictions imposed by Covid-19, this will be streamed.

NEWBURY Winnifred Hannah "For you will go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and hills will break forth into singing before you - and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12 Winnie was born on September 20, 1931 in Bay L'Argent, Nfld., to George and Lillian Banfield (nee Scott). She married Gerald Halfyard Newbury in 1952, and together, they raised four children, Paul, Scott, David and Lilly. Winnie was an adventurer - with a great passion for the outdoors and nature. She and Gerry were avid explorers of the Newfoundland outdoors; especially Red Indian Lake, where they retired. They could often be seen exploring the back roads and camping 'off the beaten path' as she liked to say. Through their adventures, they would encounter many wild animals and birds which she loved to capture through a camera lens - but during hunting season, was equally skilled with a rifle lens. When not in the woods, she was a gracious and elegant woman who worked as a secretary at Lundrigans in Corner Brook, and at the Town Hall in Glovertown. Winnie was a very smart woman who had a flair for writing - a way with words, that was accompanied by a sharp wit and sense of humour. She was also a very kind and generous person. If someone needed help, she would do everything in her power for them. She was a great inspiration to many for the strength and courage she showed throughout her 88 years. She loved her children; her whole family. She loved life. And she was loved. Winnie is predeceased by husband Gerry, her mother and father, her sister Ruby (Charlie) and brother George. She is survived by her sister Marjorie (Harold, deceased), her children: Paul (Louise), Scott (Ivan), David (Rosanne), Lillian Fidler (Jim); her grandchildren: Roxanne, Aaron and Hannah and her great-grandchildren: Lincoln and Layla, her brother-in-law Doug Newbury (Pauline), sister-in-law Louise Worrall and special sister-in-law and friend Marcie as well as her nephews Keith, Barry, Charlie, Eddy, Dale, Bill and Rob and her nieces Anne, Lynn, Jan, Peg, Nancy, Margo, Ann, Dianne, Susan, Vicki and Jane. A memorial will take place on Red Indian Lake (Millertown) when circumstances permit. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a local SPCA or animal shelter. The family and staff of Barrett's Funeral Home encourage people to post their condolences, share photos and tributes by visiting the online memorial guestbook at www.barretts.ca

Predeceased by his parents, parents-in-law, eldest sister Gladys Schofield, adopted brother Ernest Heath, brothers-in-law Ernie Schofield and Ward Starkes, sister-in-law Indi Guram, and close friend Edwin Short. Grateful for his long life, and that he lived to celebrate one final Spring birthday are his devoted family: loving wife of many years and best friend Pramila; steadfast son and trouting companion Mark; daughter-in-law and good luck charm Phoebe; loyal daughter and Scrabble partner Sheila; caring sisters Iris (Raymond) Pardy, Stella (Ward - deceased) Starkes, June (Garnet) Warr, Audrey (Art) Reid; brother-in-law Paul Guram; Nieces Audrey Jean, Anne, Marilyn, Karen, Jennifer, Tara and Meena; Nephews Glenn, Don, Gary, John, Paul, Todd, Ian and Owen.

Educated in a one-room schoolhouse in Beaumont, he completed High School in Toronto, where his restless father had relocated the family. As a Memorial University student, he received the Governor General's Medal for academic excellence. He was one of three Canadian Naval Officers selected to train cadets at the Ghana Military Academy in West Africa, where he taught navigation, and was Director of Studies. This was followed by a Master's degree in Dialectology at Memorial, and a doctorate in Experimental Phonetics from the University of London, England. After teaching English at Acadia University for two years, he accepted a position in the newly-created Department of Linguistics at MUN, where he taught for 30 years. During this time, he was the recipient of several Canadian government research grants through The Canada Council and SSHRC. His research contributed to the Dictionary of Newfoundland English, and he spent many years dialect mapping the province. He also completed fieldwork on English in the Wessex area of southwestern England, and on relic French in the Channel Islands of Guernsey and Jersey. A natural teacher and passionate speaker, he encouraged his students, and in turn, was inspired by them. He was awarded a Meritorious Service Medal from the Governor General of Canada in 2016 for his role in founding the MUN Dialect Atlas of Newfoundland and Labrador project, which serves as a significant historical and cultural record of our traditional regional dialect distribution. A published poet in both standard English and local dialects, he was a sensitive and emotional spirit with a deep appreciation of the beauty of language. His comforting presence and unique voice will be forever missed. He was raised surrounded by love, and passed this on to his own family. Gratitude is extended to Dr. Susan King and Dr. Suzanne Drodge for their excellent care. Cremation has taken place. Due to the COVID-19 public health advisory, there will be no visitation at this time. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.carnells.com
In the words of one of his poems: And I John Alone on an island See a New Land Where all is alive and one, Where the stone given in lieu of a loaf Becomes bread, Where the roses grown in lieu of a life Become fish, Which leap for joy From streams of veinless blood In the dusk Become dawn

He always kept some cookies in his drawer for the visits from his great/grandchildren when they came to visit, and a drink for the grownups. Dad placed little value in worldly possessions. He believed all you need in life is your health & strength. He had an incredible faith in Jesus and the hope that he would be called to heaven when it was his time. This faith keeps us strong that he is indeed with Mom and the angels forever at peace. A memorial Mass will be celebrated at a later date when regulations permit.

PITCHER Chad "PAPA" August 25, 1975 - May 11, 2020 Taken from us far too soon, Chad Pitcher passed away suddenly in a tragic accident at the age of 44. Predeceased by his grandparents; his father-in-law, Randy Hunt; and best friend, Michael Burroughs. Leaving with broken hearts but the very best of memories, his loving wife of 13 years, Hollie (nee Hunt); his precious children: Hannah, Liam and Joel; parents: Frank Graham and Joyce Pitcher; siblings: Craig (Jackie), Tobi aka sissy (Paul), Brent (Linda), and Brian (Christina) along with his beloved niece and nephews - one of whom was more of a son than a nephew, Brent Pitcher Jr.. Also leaving to mourn, Hollie's mother, Joan and her husband Mark; and siblings Melanie and Christian; along with many extended family members and a large circle of friends - all of whom are devastated by this loss and will miss him dearly. Anyone who knew Chad, knows how difficult it will be to carry on without him. He made everything he touched better than he found it. His passion ran deep, from music to his work, but mostly as his role of husband and father. Our world is forever changed, but we will hold you close at heart, always. Due to the current global pandemic of COVID-19, a visitation and celebration of Chad's life will be announced at a later date. Upon request of the family, please no flowers. If you wish to donate, there has been a GoFundMe page set up through CUPE Local 2099 - "Chad Pitcher Family Fundraiser" In lieu of visitation at this time, the family and staff of Barrett's Funeral Home encourage people to post their condolences, share photos, and tributes by visiting the online memorial guestbook at www.barretts.ca

PITTMAN Tyler Joseph August 16, 1989 - May 18, 2020 "If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever." With heavy hearts, the family of Tyler Pittman shares the news of his passing on May 18th, 2020 at 30 years of age after a courageous battle with depression. Left to cherish his memories and celebrate his life are his devoted mother, Helen Pittman (Frank Ledwell); loving sisters, Jillian (Lindsey Pelky) and Sarah (AJ Wiscombe); his beloved Brianne Lynch & family; adoring grandmothers, Pearl Pittman and Mary Mullins; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family members who loved him dearly - especially uncles Chris, Ken, and Dave for the special bond each of them had with Tyler; close friends Jessica, Jonathan, and Kevin; friends in British Columbia, Newfoundland, and all over for whom Tyler was support and inspiration; colleagues at Morrissey Electrical; and all who knew Tyler from St. Pat's Ballpark where he touched the hearts of many. The time spent there was very influential in his life. It was his special place and we have no doubt many who read this obituary will pause a moment to remember his years of dedication to the baseball community. A beautiful soul gone at such a young age is hard to accept. Tyler's family would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the complexities of losing someone to suicide, especially during the current pandemic. We send love to all who are sharing in our grief from a distance as we, ourselves, try to understand and honour Tyler's choice while missing him so terribly. Tyler was genuinely one of the good guys. To know him was to be touched by him. Forever let's remember how his smile lightened our hearts, how nice it felt to be around him, and how easy it was to love him. Due to current public health restrictions, there will be no formal visitation at this time. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, memorial donations can be made to Thrive in support of its Survivors of Suicide (S.O.S) program. In passing, Tyler is now reunited with his father, Randy; grandfathers, Leo Pittman and Frank Mullins; uncles, Noel Pittman and Paul Pittman (Debbie), and cousin, Matthew Pittman.

POWER Estelle (Stella) Marie May 10, 1934 - May 26, 2020 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, Estelle (Stella) Marie Power (nee Chafe), age 86 years. Stella slipped away peacefully in the presence of her two grandchildren, Stephanie and Riley on May 26, 2020 at North Pond Manor in Torbay. She is predeceased by her loving husband, Robert (Bob), Sr. and her son, Robert, Jr.; her parents: William and Mary Chafe; brothers: Frank (Eleanor), Fons (Barbara), and John Chafe; mother and father-in-law: Brendan and Mabel Power I ; sister-in-law, Catherine Sandeman (Sandy) and brother-in-law, Brendan Power II; nephew, Brendan Power III; and her dear friend, Jean Dyer, who, as described by Stella's grandson, "breathed new life into Nan" after she moved into North Pond in 2015. Leaving to mourn is her daughter, Alice Hunt (Wilson) as well as her grandchildren: Ashley, Stephanie, and Riley. Also, deeply grieving her passing are her sister, Sr. Loretta Chafe, RSM and her brother, Ron Chafe (Eleanor); sisters-in-law, Rosalind (Wayne) Smith, Daphne Chafe, Betty Perry and Janet Power as well as a large circle of extended family and friends. Stella was a devoted wife to her loving husband, Bob, and an adoring mother to her children. She always made her family the highest priority in her life, loving and caring deeply with all her heart. During the past 27 years of her life, her grandchildren became the focus of her world. There was nothing that she enjoyed more than family gatherings with Ashley, Stephanie, and Riley, especially when those get-togethers included the special people in their lives: Mark MacLellan, Kélé Miguel, and Katie Gaulton. Recently, since Ashley moved to Alberta, she looked forward to every opportunity to FaceTime with her. Her grandchildren will always remember their grandmother as generous and kind-hearted as well as loving endlessly and unconditionally. In addition to her close family members, extended family and friends will never forget how Stella always made everyone feel welcome and gave them "the royal treatment" when they visited her home in Grand Falls or St. John's. Special thanks are extended to Lolly Noseworthy and her amazing staff at North Pond Manor in Torbay where Stella resided for the last five and a half years. Their commitment to providing a loving and caring home for her during these years was beyond measure. In the last couple of months, after she became ill, they provided tender and compassionate care that was above and beyond the call of duty, ensuring that she was always comfortable and that all her needs were met. The family would also like to express their gratitude to Dr. Laurie who provided her with the best of care within the last two years as well as invaluable support and guidance to the family in recent weeks. Stella has now joined Bob, her husband of 43 years, and her son, Robert, in eternal peace and happiness. Cremation has been entrusted to Carnell's Funeral Home. Plans for a celebration of life in St. John's and a burial in Grand Falls will be shared at a future date. A donation of flowers will be graciously accepted at the time that the celebration of life or burial takes place or donations may be made to a charity of one's choice.

PRIM GERALDINE With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Geraldine in the presence of her family, on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. Gerry, as she was known, was born on October 21, 1924 and grew up in Cape Broyle. She was the fifth of nine children of Thomas and Mary O'Brien. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, she leaves behind her loving husband of almost 70 years, Joseph Prim as well as her seven children, Tom (Judy), Tina, Terry, Loretta (Ross Currie), Joe (Janice) and Susan (Bert Hickman). She is sadly predeceased by her daughter Debbie as well as her parents, Thomas and Mary O'Brien, her infant brother, Bernard, sisters Irene, Loretta (Sister Rosari) and brothers Louis (Kay), Austin (Sally), Aiden (Edna) and sister-in-law Madeline O'Brien, brother-in-law Charlie and sister-in-law Regina (Jim Lysaght). In addition to her devoted husband and loving children she leaves behind to mourn her brothers Ed O'Brien (Helen) and Aloysious O'Brien, her fourteen grandchildren, Erin, Nathaniel, Matthew, Joshua, Jordan, Candice, Ashley, Tiffany, Kaitlyn, Maggie, Sarah, Alice, Julie and Claire, her nine great-grandchildren, Eva, Lincoln, Alexander, Camila, Davina, Lennox, Kaia, Madison and Tayvia, her sister-in-law Alice Furlong (Michael), brother-in-law, Matthew Prim (Maria) as well as a host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends, many of whom come from her home community of Cape Broyle. Mom was a beautiful person who embraced life, family and friendship, while living to a wonderful age. She was a fun loving, social butterfly who loved Irish/Newfoundland music, a lively jig or old fashioned waltz; as well as a good game of 120's with her friends. She was a devoted mother who always seemed to find time to attend school events/concerts/meetings, while managing a large, busy household. When visitors came, they seldom left without something - a dishtowel, candle, ornament and always a treat for the children. She was an avid shopper and was well known for her many unusual 'bargains'. In Mom's latter years all she wanted was to be surrounded by family. We will always remember her devotion and spirit. Although we will dearly miss her, many happy memories will stay forever. Thank you to the staff of both Tiffany Village and Glenbrook Lodge for their kind and exemplary care of Gerry over the past three years. Also special thanks to daughter-in-law, Judy Prim for her many hours of support and care on Mom's behalf. It is so much appreciated. Gerry is resting at Caul's Funeral Home and due to the current Covid 19 restrictions, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, you may consider a donation in Mom's memory to the Kids Eat Smart Foundation or to a charity of your choice.
Forever in our hearts, you are now at peace. We dearly love you - sweet Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend.

RANDLES Mona (nee Whalen)

REID Kevin Michael Passed peacefully on May 21, 2020, following a courageous battle with cancer. Born August 16, 1956, resided in Conception Bay South, NL (formerly of Bell Island). Kevin is predeceased by his mother and father, John and Anne (Myler) Reid, his parents-in-law, Richard and Ida (Hedd) Dalton and other deceased members of the Reid, Myler and Dalton families. He leaves to mourn with deep sadness and a heavy heart, his wife, Joan, his precious daughter, Terri (Corey Dawe) and his loving son, Stephen. His granddaughter, Rachel Ida Dawe, may be too young to understand her impact but she was a bright spot and source of strength throughout her Poppy's illness. Kev will be dearly missed by his siblings, Janet, John (Sandra) and Bob (Pam) Reid, his sisters-in-law Glenys Pendergast (John), Diane Stoyles (Bob), Debbie Cahill (John), Jean Dalton (Butch), Hazel and Alphonsine Dalton. The feeling extends to his aunts, Margaret Mansfield, Cecilia Blackmore and uncles Don Peddle and Mike Reid (Jean). His many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins, relatives and longtime friends will never forget him. Above all else Kevin was a wonderful husband and father. His strong work ethic and sacrifice were always on full display for a better present and future life for those he loved. He and Joan recently celebrated their fortieth wedding anniversary, a testament to their love and dedication. Spending time and sharing successes with his children made him beam with pride. Those achievements would not have been possible without his encouragement and guidance. He was a quiet man for the most part but could make you laugh with his dry sense of humour. Material wealth was not a priority for Kev. He was content as long as he could hang out in the garage and share a preferred beverage with family, friends and neighbours. Our life together has meant so much having him in it. We will cherish the memories forever. He also leaves a family of friends in his professional life. Kevin worked as a journeyman mechanic for 30 years at Bill Matthews Volkswagen and Audi. He rarely took a sick day and was well respected by his employer and colleagues. Kevin worked for months with his illness before being diagnosed. Although his prognosis was never optimistic, he still spoke about going back someday to retire on his own terms. That's just the kind of man he was. The Reid family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Cancer Clinic and 4NA for your professional care. Cremation has taken place and funeral arrangements will take place on Bell Island on Monday, May 25, 2020. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pendergast Funeral Home. Donations in Kevin's memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Janeway Children's Hospital Foundation or a charity of choice.

Johnny was loved by all that knew him. His smile was infectious and contagious. He will be missed immensely. I do not need a special day to bring you to my mind, the days I do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when I awake, I know that you are gone, and no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on. My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears will flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.

A lifelong supporter of Sunderland AFC, he attended Northern School of Music in Manchester and the University of London Institute of Education. He taught for a number of years in England, including a couple as music department head at Ryhope Comprehensive School, where he was in charge of music for several large musical productions. One of these productions, The Who's Rock Opera Tommy, received attention in widely published national and international music magazines. His teaching career unexpectedly took him across the ocean to Newfoundland in 1977. George went on to teach music at schools in Heart's Delight, Heart's Content and Bay Roberts before retiring. He taught piano and served as an accompanist for singers and choirs for many years at the Carbonear Kiwanis Music Festival. George could usually be counted on to break out a trumpet on neighbours' doorsteps at Christmas or to perform the "Last Post" and "Reveille" at the annual Remembrance Day ceremony hosted by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 15 in Harbour Grace. He was also a dedicated volunteer to provincial swimming for many years, in particular with the Poseidon Swim Club of Carbonear. Pre-deceased by parents George Robinson and Annie (Jones) Robinson.

In lieu of flowers, his family requests that donations be made to the NL Terry Fox Foundation or Society of St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank in Harbour Grace. His family also asks that eligible individuals consider donating blood or platelets at Canadian Blood Services, as he required several transfusions in the last months of his life. His family thanks the staff in ward 4 North A at the Health Sciences Centre in St. John's for the wonderful care provided to George during his hospital stays.
Ha'way the lads.

He never looked for praises. He was never one to boast. He just went on quietly working for those he loved the most. His dreams were seldom spoken. His wants were very few. And most of the time his worries went unspoken too. He's there a firm foundation Through all our storms of life A sturdy hand to hold unto In times of stress and strife. A true friend we could turn to When times were good or bad. One of our greatest blessing The man that we called "Dad"! A Dad leaves his mark in the world through the love he gives his Family.

SINNOTT ( nee NOFTALL ) Mary Bridget Passed peacefully away on May 30th, 2020 at Agnes Pratt Nursing Home, Mary Bridget Sinnott (nee Noftall) age 84. Born on April 24, 1936 in Point Verde, Placentia Bay, she was predeceased by her husband Thomas Joseph Sinnott (1987), parents Walter and Agnes Noftall, siblings Theresa Noftall, Dorothy Benson (deceased Kevin), Ray Noftall, Eugene Noftall, parents-in-law John and Gertrude Sinnott, sister-in-law Joan Mackey (deceased Leo), brothers-in-law William Sinnott, Michael Sinnott (deceased Madeline), Terry Noble and grandson Joseph Luedee. Left with a lifetime of fond and loving memories are her children Mary Parsons (Randy), Cynthia Warford (Frank), Gerard Sinnott (Connie) and Pam Hawkins (Sandy Greene), grandchildren Randilyn, Robyn (Jeremy), Ryan (Leslie), Jeffery (Robin), Shandelle (John), Chad (Janey), Evan (Kathleen) and Lauren (Greg), great grandchildren, Alyssa, Maryah, Kelli Lynn, Kirby, Avery and Emily, siblings Winston (Beth), Brig (Joan), Bernice, Fred (Barb), Don (Linda), and David (Elaine), and sisters-in-law Shirley Noftall, Helen Noftall, Alice Kavanagh (Mick) and Mary (Hennessey) Sinnott. Mom was the eldest of eleven children, including 3 sets of twins. She was the hardest working woman we know. At a young age, she assumed the role of second mother to her younger siblings and all the responsibilities inherent with that role. She was happiest in the kitchen as she loved to cook. She could feed an army. The more the merrier was her motto and everyone was welcome at her table. She made the best homemade bread, pies and Christmas cakes. If she knew you at all, you were guaranteed to receive one of her famous Christmas cakes. Mom was a social butterfly and loved to meet new people so every outing became a social event. Whether it was at the grocery store, church or out for a walk she would stop and chat to people, whether she knew them or not. We always said she could run for mayor. She especially enjoyed her time spent at the Paradise Seniors Club where she had so many friends. She loved life and she loved her family. Mom attended every event with her grandchildren whether it was hockey, basketball or soccer, music, dance, or graduation. She was so proud of their accomplishments and successes. Mom loved all children especially her great-grandchildren who fondly referred to her as Nan-Nan and Great-Nan. They loved visiting with her when in town and she loved doting on them. She was loved so much by everyone who met her. Most of all, she was a woman of great faith. She said the rosary along with her list of prayers several times every day. If someone was sick, they were added to her 'prayer list' and they never came off. It was her dedication to her faith and prayers that brought her grandson Jeffery home safely from two tours in Afghanistan. Mom's needs changed when she was diagnosed with dementia. The disease slowly robbed her of the quality of life she was used to living. When you have a loved one with dementia, you mourn their loss twice. We feel blessed that Mom remembered her family right up to the very end. We are thankful to the staff and residents of Hillcrest Estates where Mom resided for almost three years. It felt like home to her from the first day she walked through their doors. We were devastated when Mom's needs outgrew her stay there. We are also beyond grateful to the amazing staff of Agnes Pratt who assisted with mom's transition to long term care. The professionalism, love and care that Mom received during her short five-month stay is beyond words. The stories you shared and love you showed for Mom helped us especially during her final week. Our gratitude is immeasurable. We would like to express our sincerest thanks to Dr. Robyn Wade, Mom's family physician who Mom loved. To Dr. Kim Babb, geriatrician, who guided us through Mom's journey with this terrible disease and was one of her strongest advocates, we cannot thank-you enough. Her only (favourite) daughter-in-law Connie was more like a daughter to her. You treated our Mother like your own. Mom loved you so much and was thankful you were such a big part of her life. Cremation has taken place. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic a private service will take place and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Donations in her memory can be made to the Alzheimer's Society or a charity of one's choice. Arrangements entrusted to Carnell's Funeral Home.

SMITH Arthur "Dave" It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle Arthur "Dave" Smith on May 18th, 2020 at the age of 82 years.

He was a world traveler, from a Safari in Africa, walking the Great Wall of China, viewing the Pyramids in Egypt, to visiting the Holy Lands; it would be easier to list the places he hasn't been to than the places he has! He loved watching curling, hockey (he was a regular over the years at AHL games) and baseball with his sons, and especially walking around Bowring Park with his wife Eileen and his grand puppy Finniguin, enjoying the nature and friends they met along the way. Special thanks to the paramedics from Eastern Health, staff at the Emergency Department at HSC, his Physiotherapist Rebecca Long, and his family Doctors Paul Jackman and Stephen Walker who gave him excellent care over his lifetime.

Chosen family Lucy Drew, Maddie Tremlett, Tammy Duffy and Rick Brushett. and lifelong friends Kevin and Lorraine Edney. Mom was the rock upon which we each built our families. She blessed so many lives with her warm, caring soul - always demonstrating love, peace, kindness and concern for others. She loved to tend her garden at Hell Hill Pond and nourished her flowers as she had her children. Mom was a woman of great faith and whenever anyone needed God's ear, they turned to her. Prayers to find something lost, prayers to get the job or get the promotion, she seemed to have a back channel to the Lord as all of her prayers were answered. She had a way of making everyone feel important and valued. It was her special charm that drew people toward her and those who knew her felt blessed and privileged to be part of her circle. She was a second Mom to many and Aunt Winnie to everyone. Mom was a lifetime member of St. Kevin's Choir, past member of the Catholic Women's League, Girl Guides, St Pat's Dancer's and an Honorary Cadet. Thank you to Dr. Annette McCarthy and Dr Leonard Phair who treated Mom with kindness and respect. To Mom's nurse Tammy-Lee Joyce and her caregivers Tsitsi Loder and Karla Pilgrim who helped us care for Mom daily, we are forever grateful. Thank you to Father Jeffrey Kolonel for your spiritual guidance and to niece Gail Ridgeley for your steady hand and advice in guiding us through Mom's journey Home. Our family wishes to express sincere gratitude and thanks to our loving and large family and many wonderful friends who have reached out with kindness, love and support. You've always been there for Mom and for us and we love you all. The wind offers promise for a better tomorrow and as Winnie often said "This too shall pass, it's only while it's passing.." Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no visitation. A celebration of Mom's life will be held at a later date.

TAYLOR (DODGE) Eileen In this current day of a world-wide pandemic which has changed everyone's life & the way we have to deal with death - how do you honor the loss of a loved one when you cannot bring people together to grieve, reminisce & pay their respects? It is a tragedy & nightmare all in one - so this is our tribute to our very own modern-day "Wonder Woman". A compassionate listener who always provided valuable life advice…the world changed when she slipped away peacefully in her sleep on the night of Tuesday May 5, 2020. Eileen Taylor (Dodge) was born in Little Hearts Ease, Trinity Bay, NL in August of 1944. Predeceased by her parents Elsie Pearl Dodge (Avery) (2000) & father Chesley Dodge (1975) & also baby boy Chesley Taylor (1966), she was very much a loving & dedicated daughter, wife, Mother, Grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin & friend. With an infectious laugh & love to "carry-on", her personality was so very genuine and she held nothing back - funny, strong, courageous, self-less, a truly kind-hearted soul who dearly loved her family & could talk your ear off about her grandchildren Sydney, Austin & Avery. They gave her so much pure joy & loved their Nannie to the moon & back. Lovingly known as "Mudder" & "Da Boss", she loved to chat & had an amazing ability to put people at ease. Her daughters Kimberley & Nicole grew up knowing the value of hard work & kindness because of her unconditional love. Throughout her life, she loved spending time with family especially at Bowring Park, playing cards, going to Bingo, knitting, reading greeting cards, always enjoyed thunderstorms, watching her TV shows and the NTV Evening News. She loved using her iPad and enjoyed video calls to her grandkids so everyone could make funny faces. An animal lover, she throughly enjoyed her cuddles with Maxx & Stella as well her many other fur babies over the years. She was such a kind & gentle soul who would help anyone - she would give you the shirt off her back & never take anything in return. She was the mother who would come pick you up from downtown at 4am on a Saturday night all because she wanted to know you & your friends all got home safely. Married to Patrick for almost 55 years, love, strength, perseverance & family were their core values. In their early years they truly enjoyed outdoor adventures of ski-dooing, fishing and fireside cook ups. They also have wonderful memories of traveling and seen many beautiful places together. She loved her sons-in-law Todd (Kim) & Dave (Nicole) as if they were her own. A work life that took her on many different paths such as healthcare, accounting, retail and finally an 18+ year career with Sobeys, she was a dedicated hard-worker who always said "a strong work ethic will never do you wrong." Sadly, a workplace health injury in the 1990's left her in chronic pain for the rest of her life. Regardless of the pain she endured, there was always her smile, laugh & pleasant nature that made everyone around her feel like they were family. She cared deeply for her brother Ern, sister-in-law Mary & their family with whom she spoke to each day. Lots of great memories with sister-in-law & brother-in-law Linda & John Churchill and family. So lucky to have amazing women in her life, she had strong friendships with her cousins Bertha Greening & Loretta Gosse sisters-in-law Mary Dodge & Linda Churchill. She so loved her many nieces and nephews. She will be sadly missed by family & friends in Halifax, NS where she loved to visit with Kim & family. Greatest appreciation to the Paramedics, Firefighters & First Responders for their continued dedication to our loved ones. She was our rock - we are so proud to call her Mom - our Super Wonder Woman. We promise to carry forward the very best pieces of you. Mudder - we love you a hundred-million barrels...to the Moon & back. Service to be held at later date. Donations can be made in her name to the SPCA, Heart & Stroke Society, Cancer Research or any charity of your choosing.

THISTLE Gertie Elaine (Mills) Born Burlington, June 6, 1925 It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our dear and loving mother Gertie on Wednesday, May 27, 2020, at Tiffany Village Retirement Residence, St. John's, NL - a mere 10 days short of her 95th birthday. Mother was predeceased by her husband, the love of her life and our devoted father, Sidney Thistle; parents Lloyd and Fanny (Rowsell) Mills; beloved daughter Patricia (Ted) Barker; dear grandson Danny Freeman; brothers Stewart Mills and Clifford Mills, sister Meredas Mills; son-in-law Dennis Tenberg; and several other beloved extended family members, never forgotten. Left to mourn with cherished memories are daughters, Pauline Tenberg, Betty Kean (Ed), Karen Thistle (David Moores), Mary Freeman (Geoff), Barbara Hedges (Peter), Diane Wurz (Joe), Margaret Clarke (David), son-in-law Ted Barker, and sister-in-law Marion Jackson (Lin). Also remembering her with love are her four sisters, Olive Short of Springdale, Ann Butt of Gander, Lillian Goudie and Emma Foster of Burlington; as well as 17 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild, all scattered between Vancouver Island and Norway; a large number of nieces, nephews and dear friends, especially her church companions at Cowan Heights United Church in St. John's, and formerly Bethany United Church at Baie Verte. Mom loved us all and enjoyed keeping up with our various comings and goings on a daily basis, whether by phone, Facebook or video calls. Family was so important to Mom, and she made sure to remember every birthday with a card or a phone call. Sharp as a tack, Mom remained an engaging conversationalist to the end. Our mother was born in Burlington, NL on June 6, 1925, to Lloyd and Fanny Mills and grew up in Mills' Cove. One of 8 siblings, Mom had nothing but fond memories of her childhood in Burlington and her marriage to Sid. After having four girls in Burlington they moved to Baie Verte to help continue the family business. In Baie Verte Mom had two more girls before moving to Corner Brook for four years where the youngest two girls were born. Back to Baie Verte in 1963 with her brood, Mom became more involved in community activities. Over her lifetime she was a tireless volunteer, giving leadership as a Commissioner for her district in The Girl Guides of Canada, being active on the Board of the UCW both in Baie Verte and St. John's, and numerous other charities. She enjoyed curling, gardening, crossword puzzles, and travel abroad, especially if there was family to visit. Before she finished raising her 8 daughters to become strong women, our Mother was widowed at 49 - and became a businessperson overnight. With stamina and vigor, she carried on the family business for 10 years before winding it down and moving to St. John's to be near her daughters and grandchildren there. A staunch proponent and defender of family, Mom was a mother to many. In Baie Verte while her girls were in school she would often find her house full of kids including the cousins from Burlington. Then in St. John's she could be counted on to cheerfully take any opportunity to mind her grandchildren when asked. Aunt Gertie's place became a home away from home for several nieces and nephews who came to St. John's for schooling. She also embraced with fervor the beginnings of a new United Church in her adopted home of Cowan Heights. Meanwhile, to keep track of her expanding family she embraced the world wide web in the 1990s with the help of grandson Danny. Retirement also allowed her to develop her love of gardening to the fullest. And she continued to travel frequently to visit her family across the country. Mom had a zest for life to the end. Moving to Tiffany Village at 88, Mom was able to expand her already busy social life to embrace the many activities such a residence had to offer - a new lease on life for the social creature that was our mother, who could find a connection with almost anybody. She was able to maintain a close family connection with her sister-in-law and husband, Marion and Lin Jackson, who also resided at Tiffany. We wish to thank all the staff and the many friends who made Mom's seven years at Tiffany Village active and enjoyable.

While we can't gather in the numbers we would like at this time, we thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers. As our dear Aunt Olive would say: "When one of us hurts we all hurt!"

THISTLE Joan (Blackmore) September 18, 1928 - May 12, 2020 With sadness but with deep gratitude for her long and happy life, we announce the peaceful passing of Pamela Joan Blackmore Thistle, embraced by her cherished and loving daughter Terri, Joan's lifelong source of unbridled joy, pride, companionship and support. Joan was born to Captain William Barbour Blackmore and Annie Andrews Blackmore and was blessed to be raised by them in Port Union, along with her treasured siblings Frances, Wilfred, Adeline, Flo and Bill. Her early life was shaped by the closeness of family, the great character and spirit of outport NL, and her belief that life was an adventure to be embraced and explored. She did so intentionally all her life, with her characteristic strong will and optimism. Joan was blessed with a happy life with her wonderful husband Bernard Thistle and their two children, Roy and Terri. She had an indomitable spirit that saw her camping well into her 80s, never allowing residual effects of a stroke to cramp her lifestyle or her outlook. Joan was the very example of an independent woman of substance, open to every experience, embracing nature, wildlife and all animals and showing her unconditional love for her family and friends. Publicly, Joan will be remembered with distinction as one of Newfoundland's iconic artists whose paintings, pottery and sculptures represent a unique and compelling narrative of outport life in pre-Confederation Newfoundland; the simple pleasures of family and celebratory community gatherings, working the land and the sea, the agony of waiting for loved ones to return from the fishery and her aching emotional portrayals of when lives were lost at sea. Her work communicated the important roles of both women and men during her childhood in Port Union and elsewhere on the Bonavista Peninsula and it was her artistic message depicting the essential work of women who raised families, tended to the harvest, and lived with uncertain hope and constant worry that became her artistic signature, resonating with Newfoundlanders and those seeking to deepen their understanding of Newfoundland history and culture. In this, her work was singularly impressive and both Joan and her works were acknowledged by numerous honours. Joan was invited to meet Queen Elizabeth II, who viewed and appreciated Joan's work during the 1997 arrival of The Matthew in Bonavista, she was a recipient of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 for her contribution to public life and her numerous exhibitions received praise for their thoughtful, historical and artistic merit. Her childhood thirst for life and her staggering capacity for memory enabled her to capture through her artistic gifts the emotive power of rural Newfoundland life that has shaped our people and culture. With little regard for the norms of her times, Joan eagerly embraced and embodied the characteristics of modern day women. She was a loving wife and mother, a devoted daughter and sibling and she successfully followed her passions through her artistic gifts, her spirit and curiosity, all of which enabled the independent thought that guided her for her entire life. She was gentle, but firm and determined, and her family will always affectionately remember her warm, selfless and gracious nature. She was noble, humble, dignified and deeply loved. Joan is predeceased by her parents, her loving husband, Bernard, and her siblings Frances Hill, Wilfred Blackmore, Adeline Talmage, Flo Pike and Bill Blackmore, all of whom Joan loved intensely. Lovingly and forever remembering her are her children, Roy (Bev) and Terri, her grandson Christopher, her sisters-in-law Phyllis Blackmore and June Blackmore as well as the extended Thistle family, her nieces and nephews and their families who adored her, and a wide circle of friends, many from the artistic community. Joan was the last of her generation of Blackmores and her extended family will forever admire her and remember her as a loving, strong, principled, talented, remarkable and humble woman who will continue to guide them. Terri would like to acknowledge the staff of Chancellor Park where Joan resided in recent years as well as Dr. Patrick O'Shea. Additionally, Terri extends her deep gratitude for the love of her close family and friends, in particular Patti Pike, whose support has been immeasurable. Cremation has been entrusted to Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road. Plans for a celebration of Joan's life will be shared at a later date, with interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery Field of Honour. In Joan's memory, a donation to a charitable organization dear to your heart or an intentional gesture of kindness will be appreciated. To send a message of condolence please visit: www.carnells.com

He graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering from Memorial University in 1998, at which point he received the legendary iron ring. David wore his ring with pride which was a symbol of the work hard/play hard attitude he shared with his Class of '98 as well as his commitment to his profession, colleagues, and employers. Those who knew David would describe him as quiet, smart, witty, and unassuming. If you asked David, he would simply say that he was "awesome at being Dave". He loved nothing more than to spend time with Kendra, Owen and Elliot. David spent many hours watching his boys playing sports, particularly hockey, and enjoyed the tight fraternity of hockey dads. He was a talented musician who enjoyed jamming in the basement with his bandmates in The Low Ceilings as they planned their rise to fame. He also had a passion for Formula 1 racing, the Florida sunshine, his road bike "Black Betty", vintage t-shirts, and cottage life in Stanhope, PEI.
