Wolfville, NS September 23, 1948 - January 30, 2025 Dorothy Elizabeth (Allen) Page, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away on January 30, 2025 from complications of dementia. She was 76. Born in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, on September 23, 1948, Dorothy's life was marked by love, creativity, and a devotion to her family. She was the daughter of the late Thomas Leslie Earle Allen and Hilda Irene (Whidden) Allen. Dorothy’s childhood was filled with cherished memories, particularly the summers spent with her sister at her grandparents’ cottage at Evangeline Beach, a place that held special significance throughout her life. It was at a dance at Evangeline Beach where Dorothy met the love of her life, Victor Joel Page Jr. They married on June 6, 1969 and built a beautiful life together. Highly creative, Dorothy loved art and music and expressed herself through writing, painting, and jewelry making. The Beatles were her favourite band, their music a constant soundtrack to her life. In her youth, she played the violin and was a member of the youth orchestra while living in Fredericton, NB. She also loved to sing, and in the 60s, she shared her beautiful voice with Joel at local concerts, dances, and events. For 15 years, Dorothy served her community as the owner and operator of the Wolfville Telephone Answering Service, connecting residents with police, fire, and emergency services. Later, she pursued her passion for antiques, opening Baubles Antiques out of her home on 11 Summer Street in Wolfville. The Queen of Antiques, Dorothy had a keen eye for hidden treasures, collecting knick-knacks, dolls, clothing, and jewelry. She never missed a local yard sale, flea market, or estate sale. Regulars at those events often commented "it wasn’t a flea market if Dorothy wasn’t there."  The heart of her home and family, Dorothy will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Joel; her children, Kristian Earle Page (Julie Whitney) and Margaret Page (Charles T. Conrad); her grandson, Mugen Page, and her step-grandchildren Mary and Charles Conrad; her sisters, Margaret (Allen) Robertson (Jamie Robertson) and Barbara Allen; and her extended family and friends.  In keeping with Dorothy’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service.

Whitney Pier, NS February 3, 2025 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Bertha Theresa Raoul, on February 3, 2025 at the age of 95. She left behind a legacy of caring, supporting and loving for the wide variety of folks who crossed her path on this earth. Her final years at the Harbourstone Guest Home allowed her well deserved rest and reflection following a lifetime of service to others. The family would like to express special thanks to the wonderful staff of Kimberly Hall, especially Mira Bay, who provided kindness and care during Bertha's final years. Bertha (Costello), was one of 14 children born to James and Blanche Costello (Mollon) and she was raised in Whitney Pier. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 40 years, Mike, a well known local building contractor who passed away in 1989 at the young age of 60. She raised 4 children: Michael (Mary), Denise (Deceased), Dianne, and Terry (Valerie). She leaves behind one grandson, Michael Raoul and six granddaughters; Jennifer, Lisa and Kim in Ottawa, Michelle Raoul-Winters - Halifax, Renee Doidge (Marlon) - Alberta and Julia Hardy - Halifax. Great grandchildren include Ryker Watt and Kaia Watt of Ottawa, Sunshine Campbell of Sydney and Marshall Winters of Halifax. Siblings surviving Bertha include Eileen (Mike MacKinnon), Nellie (Jim MacIsaac), Kevin (Linda), John (Mena), Donald (Jane Marie). She was predeceased by three sisters; Katheen (Frank Hennick) Shirley RN (Buck Muldoon) Doris (Mike MacNeil) and five brothers Bill (Edna), Cyril (Madeline), Gordon (Dorothy), Gary (Karen) and Jim (Joan). As children of Bertha in the early years, we would often see our mother punching down big pans of dough for bread as we begged her to flatten a few patties to be fried into what we called "flapjacks" - which were eaten slathered in Crosby's molasses. Then there was tending to diaper buckets (no Pampers), loading coal into the furnace and cook stove and covering the floor with newspapers after scrubbing it on her knees. From time to time it was her turn to host "Club" when her lady friends would arrive to play cards, eat sandwiches with the crusts removed and test fresh made baked sweets while laughing freely. She was a charter member of the St Theresa's parish Catholic Women's League where she served for many years to benefit her friends and community neighbours. She often worked in the old St Theresa's hall serving banquets and attending meetings. Bertha also coordinated the UNICEF Hallowe'en program in the Sydney area. In addition, she was secretary and bookkeeper for our father's construction business. Our mother is also well known to anybody who passed through Girl Guides in the Sydney area. She was deeply involved with the Brownie, Guide and Ranger programs and left her mark on many successful young women. She received the prestigious Mayflower Award, the highest provincial award from the Girl Guides of Canada. She rose to the rank of area commissioner for the Cape Breton East district. As well, she received the Volunteer of the Year Award for the city of Sydney in 1987. She was presented with this award in Halifax by then Lieutenant Governor, Stan Abraham. Bertha was also very active in the social community as a regular with the folks who enjoyed playing Bridge. She was also well known in the local bowling league as attested by the many trophies that adorned our window sills and piano top. Mom and Dad could often be seen participating in regular season curling events as well as a variety of spiels at the local curling club. A fitness enthusiast all her life, she enjoyed yoga and was very active in skating sessions at the Sydney Forum, Centre 200 and Dominion rinks where she would be seen gliding to the tunes with a variety of gentlemen on her arm trying to keep up ... she was rarely seen warming the benches. In her later years she vigorously walked the Sydney boardwalk or the popular Dominion beach. She lived her adult life until the age of 93 on Lisgard Street in the home built for her by her loving husband, Mike. In her later years she was supported by her children and, in particular, her longtime companion, Rudy Plichie, who dropped in most days to visit and called late at night to make sure all was in order before she retired for the night. Rudy was her rock, best friend and companion for many years. They often danced away the evening at a variety of senior venues in the Cape Breton area. She was not one to talk much about herself, however, at the annual "Costello" party in Big Pond, surrounded by family she loved and trusted, she could be convinced to reveal tales of her younger years growing up in Whitney Pier. When the early boisterous time of the party had subsided to quiet reflection, her memory would come alive and her eyes would sparkle. Family would gather close around her chair of honour to listen to tales of delivering bread, runaway horses and the happy times of courting with our father. Bertha was a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She made this world a better place for many. Visitation will take place at TW Curry Parkview Chapel, Sydney on Thursday, Feb. 6 from 7-9 pm and Friday, Feb. 7 from 2-4 & 7-9. Funeral Mass will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, Feb. 8 at St. Theresa Church, 381 Whitney Ave., with Fr. Evo Di'Pierro officiating. Internment to take place in Resurrection Cemetery at a later date. Memories and condolences can be shared with the family by visiting twcurry.com . May she rest in peace.

Halifax, NS March 22, 1943 – January 31, 2025 Doug was born and raised in Shoal Lake, MB to parents Douglas and Lydia Stone (nee Robinson). Doug never met his father who was a flight engineer on a Lancaster bomber and killed in action in WWII in 1943. Thus, Doug was raised by his mother, Lydia, his supportive grandparents, Will and Gertrude Stone, and uncles, Peter and Charlie Robinson. He has many fond memories of growing up in Shoal Lake, playing hockey, fishing, hunting, working as a mechanic at (Jack) Schust Motors, helping on his uncles’ farms and driving vintage cars. He had a dog appropriately named Buddy. Doug attended the University of Manitoba where he obtained his Bachelor of Science in Engineering in 1965 specializing in mechanical engineering. He was the first person in his family to obtain a university degree. After university, Doug moved to Calgary to work in the oil industry where he met the love of his life and wife of 57 years, Sandra (nee Geldart). They were married in Calgary in 1967 and soon thereafter, Doug and Sandy moved to Brandon, where Doug worked for Simplot and welcomed their first child, David into the world. In 1970, they moved to Thunder Bay so that Doug could take a position with Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, where he worked as an engineer for over 15 years. They soon welcomed their second son, Andrew, and three years later, their third son, Jamie. After Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, Doug worked as a consulting engineer, a professor at Lakehead University, and an Industrial Technology Advisor for the National Research Council, retiring in 2006. He was an active member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario and the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Doug and Sandra dedicated their lives to raising their family in Thunder Bay, with their children playing numerous sports, enjoying many camping trips to Quetico and Sibley Provincial Parks, cross country skiing at Kamview and many road trips with the tent trailer all over Canada and the United States. Doug was an active volunteer in Scouts Canada and his boys’ baseball and hockey teams. In an attempt to keep up with his boys, Doug taught himself to downhill ski at Loch Lomond around the age of 40. He would however never acquire a taste for their musical preference, remaining a lifelong fan of country music. Doug maintained a passion for Canadian and British history as well as researching his family ancestry, compiling a fantastic resource for future generations. After their sons had left Thunder Bay for university and later, for work, Doug and Sandy finally had the time to travel to various destinations in Europe, to Hawaii, and to Florida in between numerous trips to and visits from their children and grandchildren in Halifax and New Jersey. They moved to Halifax in 2012 to be closer to family and they have enjoyed their new adventure in Nova Scotia and the many new people they have met. Doug is predeceased by his father, Douglas, his mother, Lydia, and his son, Jamie, and is survived by his wife Sandra, sons, David (Sue) and Andy (Heather), grandchildren, Amanda, Matthew, Ryan, Alexander, and Gabriella. The family is grateful for the care provided to Doug by the staff at Drummond Hall in Parkland and DePaul Hall in Caritas long-term care facilities in Halifax. His family will hold a private celebration of life later this year. In lieu of flowers the family asks that you consider donating to Parkinson Canada in his memory.

He was excited to be the best house husband ever, get six pack abs, help build a new home and vacation in warmer climates. Mink understood and valued the importance of relationships.

For over 30 years Mink could be found Thursday nights in his ‘shed’ with the Goons. It was often said that the party did not start until Mink arrived! Mink had a way of making people feel special, whether you met him once or knew him for decades. He had a knack for bringing people together from all walks of life. Mink lived for volleyball, specifically beach volleyball. He cherished his teammates and lifelong friends and the escapades they had together at camps and tournaments. He was always game to play tennis. Ever the athlete, he built an outdoor fitness course in the woods on their property. And did he ever love wood! He was passionate about chopping wood, stacking wood, talking about wood and working out in the woods. His tender heart endeared him to many furry creatures and especially Old English Sheepdogs and the community of human friends who came along with them. Several dogs shared their home over the years, including their newest pup Ron who quickly bonded with Mink and would curl his 100-pound body on Mink’s lap. Mink was a proud and loving father to his daughter Joy DiCarlo and her partner Neil Garby. He was a dearly loved brother to his siblings Brad and wife Jeanetta DiCarlo; Marti Valeriote; Chris and wife Linda DiCarlo.

Sixty-five years to the day after David Laughlin MacLean of Abercrombie, Pictou County became father to the first of his four children, he drew his last breath. Left to mourn are his wife of nearly 67 years, Catherine (Reid); his children and their spouses, Philip (Pauline), Donna Tourneur (Charlie), Carl (Rosanne) and Ann Simms (Chris); his grandsons, Graham and Andrew Tourneur, Shawn Simms and Simon MacLean; his great-grandchildren, Sebastien, Kaitlyn and Jade Tourneur; and step-grandchildren, Charles and Bryan Tourneur and Laurie Johnston; as well as 9 step great-grandchildren.   Dave was loved and respected by many nieces and nephews and by his in-laws, Evelyn MacLean, Alice Hewitt, Helen Cruickshank, Mary and Gerald Romsa, and Ruth Douglas. The family is deeply grateful to Caroline Tushabe for the impeccable care she has provided in his home for the past five months and to Carol MacKenzie who has supported Dave and Catherine since their move back to Pictou County. These women feel like family. David was a son of the late Robert and Ada (MacKenzie) MacLean and spent his childhood on the century farm in Churchville. Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his older brother and life- long hero, Donnie, and his sister, Jean, who died in childhood. He was also predeceased by parents-in-law, John and Sadie Reid, as well as sister and brothers-in-law: Robert and Isabel Archibald, Jim Hewitt, Glenn Cruickshank and Albert Douglas. David was a life-long learner, always happy with a book in his hand. During a full and successful career with the Royal Bank of Canada, serving in Lawrencetown, Annapolis Royal, Halifax (twice), Parrsboro, Inverness (twice), Maitland, Elmsdale, Whitney Pier and ending in Burnside, he became a Fellow of the Institute of Canadian Bankers. He continued post-secondary education on a part-time basis and earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University College of Cape Breton and a Master of Divinity from the Atlantic School of Theology. At age 59, Dave was ordained in the United Church of Canada and served the Rawdon Pastoral Charge, Knox in Glace Bay, Gordon in Reserve Mines and in various capacities even since retirement with Catherine by his side at every turn in the road of life.  David and Catherine were deeply involved in United Churches in every community in which they lived as well as community and service clubs, and 4-H while there were kids at home.   David was smart, kind and charitable. He was a great family provider and supported his children in all their endeavors with pride and common sense. We used to say that when he was in the bank, he helped people with their personal lives and in ministry he helped people with finances. He was trusted and loyal in both professions and he will be missed deeply by family and friends alike.   The MacLean family enjoyed numerous trips across the continent, but nothing was more relaxing than weekends at the cottage at Point 44, a place that continued to provide joy until the end.  His life and faith will be celebrated at Trinity United Church, New Glasgow, under the leadership of his AST classmate and friend, The Rev. Meredith Fraser, on Sunday, February 2nd at 1pm. The service will be livestreamed on Trinity’s Facebook and YouTube: https://www.facebook.com/events/970503317934312 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqnHkanx_BY Family flowers only please.

The church administrator at Trinity can help with those who wish to do this.
