Eastern Passage, NS
December 17, 1920 - November 14, 2024
Marian Catherine (Rehberg) Latter, also known as Yellow (house) Grammy by some of her great grandchildren, born December 17, 1920 passed away peacefully in the early morning of November 14, 2024 with great granddaughter Alyson holding her hand. She was just weeks short of her 104th birthday and her last days were surrounded by family and loved ones.
She is survived by children Veronica Smith & Gary Wells; grandchildren Anita MacDonald, Kenny Wells, Rose-Ann Jamieson, Karen Edwards & Donnie Smith; great grandchildren Jason, Devan, Craig, Alyson, Lucas, Austin, Danyelle, Karleigh & Lexi and siblings Lawrence Rehberg, Dolly Gibeau & Edna Eddy.
She was predeceased by parents Alvina (Peters) & Joseph Rehberg, husband Roy (Dottie) Latter and siblings Joseph, George, Tommy, Hilda, Mary, Kathleen & Alexandra.
Marian lived a full life, on her own terms, in her own home and was only briefly admitted to the Dartmouth General Hospital within the last month. She was a devoted Christian of strong faith and has gone to be with her Lord. For many years Marian and Dottie operated the canteen that was previously located at the entrance of what is now known as Fisherman’s Cove. Both Veronica and Gary worked alongside them. Marian also looked after children in her home for many years, some who never stopped visiting her. She was passionate about volunteering and enjoyed her time at Ocean View Manor and the former home for special needs children in Dartmouth. Sewing, knitting, crocheting & gardening were some of her hobbies. She took great pride in teaching her children, grandchildren and even her great grandchildren these skills.
The family is genuinely grateful to the compassionate palliative care team on 5 West of Dartmouth General Hospital who brought such comfort and kindness to her final days.
Cremation has taken place, there will be no visitation. A graveside service will take place at St. Peters Church in Eastern Passage. Date and Time to be confirmed. Family and friends welcome.
