Edith Mae (Works) Bartlett – 102, Truro, passed away on Friday evening, March 15, 2024, at Shannex Vimy Court, Bible Hill.
Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late Chester and Susanna "Sadie" (Mahoney) Works.
As a young couple, Mom and Dad were involved with the founding of the second St. David’s
United Church in Bible Hill and were later life-long members of Brunswick Street United Church, Truro. Mom loved their cottage in Marshville, baking (including her wonderful fruitcakes which she delivered to friends and family) and to play cards; she played 45s with a group on CNR wives for over 50 years.
Edith is survived by her daughters, Karen (Hollis) O’Toole; Sheila (Jack) Dale; grandchildren, Matthew (Amy) O’Toole, Patrick O’Toole (Roxanne Church), Nick Dale (Pamela), Jaclyn Dale (Kevin), Nathan Dale (Leann); great grandchildren, Sophie O’Toole, Isaiah Church, Daniel Dale; sister, Doris McDaniel, Hamilton, Ontario.
Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Elmer (2004); brothers, James, Percy, Fred, Howard; sisters, Josie, Gladys, Dorothy.
We extend our sincere thanks to her many friends for the love and support shown to Edith over the years, Dr. Trevor Locke and Dr. Adam Aleksis, and to the wonderful staff of Vimy Court for their exceptional care and kindness.
Private family interment in Crossroads Cemetery, 110 Salmon River Road, at a later date. If so desired, donations in Edith’s memory to Colchester SPCA are welcomed.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. Tributes, words of comfort and memories of Edith may be shared at: www.mattatallvarnerfh.com
