White, Anna Marie Elizabeth, age 89, of Havre Boucher, Antigonish County, passed away on January 16, 2024, in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish.
Born in Antigonish, she was a daughter of the late Michael Sylvester and Virginia "Venie" (DeCoste) Pettipas.
As well as being a wonderful homemaker, Anna worked at the Acadia Fisheries Plant in Mulgrave for several years. Anna was a huge fan of country music, particularly the oldies, with Charlie Pride being her absolute favourite. She never missed an opportunity to go dancing, gracing that dance floor with those twinkle toes of hers. Anna was a huge Habs fan. On game nights, you’d find her, Sandra, and Chris sitting on the couch together with their Canadiens jerseys on. She cherished those nights. Anna adored her grandchildren, and she loved the time she spent with them.
She is survived by her children, Billy (Norma Jean), Pomquet; Mary, Port Williams; Theresa (Brian), North Saanich, BC; Donna, Havre Boucher; Angie (Andy), Fort McMurray; Wayne (Debbie), Havre Boucher; and Robert (Nola), Havre Boucher; son-in-law, Chris; 14 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, 3 step-grandchildren, and 3 step-great grandchildren; sisters, Margaret, Doris, and Florence; brother, Michael (Zelda); and sisters-in-law, Caroline and Brenda.
Predeceased by her daughter, Sandra; brothers, Vincent, Leo, and Benjamin; sisters, Clara and Mary; brothers-in-law, Donald Green, Bill Smith, Cam Munroe, and Denny Malloy.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held Thursday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm and from 10:00am Friday until the time of the funeral in St. Paul’s Centre, Havre Boucher. Funeral Mass will be held Friday at 11:00am in St. Paul’s Church with Reverend Allan MacPhie presiding. Burial in St. Peter’s Cemetery, Tracadie, in the spring.
A special thank you to GARU and the palliative care team at St. Martha's for the warmth and compassion given to Anna in her final days.
The family would also like to thank Dr Eckhart for his very special visits to Mum these past 2 weeks. That meant so much to her.
