Eastern Passage , NS January 18, 1943 - April 27, 2026 The family of Leon Leo Beaver is saddened to announce his passing on April 27, 2026, at the age of 83. Born on January 18th, 1943, to Charles "Leo" and Thelma Beaver, Leon was the eldest son of 11 siblings. From a young age, he worked alongside his father, developing a remarkable mechanical aptitude. Leon became known as a man who could fix just about anything; "MacGyver-style", and he was always ready to help anyone in need. A tireless worker, Leon’s long and varied career spanned commercial fishing, painting, carpentry, and construction. He took great pride in a job well done and never shied away from hard labor. When he wasn’t working, Leon could often be found at the Legion enjoying a laugh with friends and a game of cards. He was particularly fond of crib—a pastime he cherished sharing with his father and continued to enjoy throughout his life. Leon was a dedicated member of the Anglican Church of Saint Andrew for many years. His funeral service will be held there at 2 Circassion Drive, Dartmouth on June 13th, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. In accordance with Leon’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a burial will take place at a later date. Leon was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Thelma (nee Boutilier); his first wife, Cynthia (nee Grant); his brothers, Barry and Little Leo; and his sisters, Pearl, Gail, Peggy, Brenda, Cora, and Gladys. He is survived by his wife of 20 years Anne, and his children: Monica (Halifax), Helen (Fox Point), Stephen (Halifax), Erica (Halifax), and Rachael (PEI), as well as his stepdaughter, Kathy. He also leaves behind his sisters, Carol Morash (Norman) and Vina Collins (John). Leon will be deeply missed by his many beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as a large circle of nieces and nephews, cousins and extended family who all held him dear. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Leon’s memory to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia. Beaver, Leon Leo

Middle Sackville, NS March 02, 1952 - April 07, 2026 It is with heavy hearts and warm memories that we announce the peaceful passing of Leo Edwards on April 7 in Middle Sackville, at the age of 74. Leo was born on March 2, 1952, in Ecum Secum Bridge, and grew up in Halifax. He worked as a longshoreman in both Halifax and Dartmouth for 25 years, where he made many lifelong friendships, and enjoyed a career that was a reflection of his dedication and pride in hard work. Leo (aka: Junior or Bibsy) had a deep love of country music, which he shared with family and friends. As a member of the Wine River Band alongside his Father, he could often be found playing guitar and singing in legions, bringing people together. He was also a lifelong sports fan - once a baseball player himself and always a loyal New York Yankees supporter. His devotion to hockey was just as strong as a proud (and hopeful) Toronto Maple Leafs fan. An avid outdoorsman, Leo found his greatest peace in nature. Whether hunting, fishing, or spending time at his beloved cottage, he treasured the simple joys of life. You could find him there sharing stories over an Alexander Keith’s while listening to some classic country music – especially Merle Haggard. Known as strong yet sensitive, Leo was also a man of routine who never missed his daily newspaper, with his dog by his side, always checking the obituaries to keep up with those he knew. If you’re reading this, chances are you shared that quiet ritual with him. Leo will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 52 years, Catherine Edwards (Nash); his children, Anthony Edwards (Cindy) and Amanda Piercey (Stephen); and his beloved grandchildren, Alice and Myles. He is also survived by his mother, Joyce Edwards, with whom he shared many playful debates - especially when it came to the Toronto Blue Jays and Brothers George Edwards (Char) and Wayne Edwards (Carol). He was predeceased by his father, Lionel Edwards. A celebration of Leo’s life will be held on Saturday April 18 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Tap and Timber Social (963 Sackville Drive) where stories and memories will be shared in his honour.   Edwards, Leo

Marjorie passed away on March 8, 2026, at the age of 79, leaving behind a legacy of love, lessons and laughter to her family. Born on January 24, 1947 in East Jeddore, Nova Scotia, Marjorie lived her life with strength, compassion, and a remarkable sense of humor that could light up any room. She was the kind of woman who was always ready with a helping hand, a listening ear, practical advice and a perfectly timed joke to make everything feel just a little bit lighter. More than anything else, she loved spending time with her siblings and with her children and she very much enjoyed beating people at card games and at scrabble. Always curious, she liked to learn about world events and discuss social issues. In retirement, she spent much of her time reading and enjoyed watching Coronation Street and shows about nature. Above all, she was a devoted mother to her two daughters Tina (Gary) and Rachelle (Anthony), who were her absolute pride and joy. She carried her role as their mother with grace and commitment, and she guided her family with support, wisdom, warmth, and laughter through every season of life. Marjorie was a cherished grandmother to her six grandchildren, Jordan (Lauryn), Rylie (DJ), Jaiah (Alexi), Raynah, Ethan and Jovan. She was also great grandmother to two great grandchildren, Vince and Alaiah Moon. She was excited and proud watching her family grow, celebrating every milestone with enthusiasm, humor, and a heart full of love.

Halifax/New Glasgow, NS July 27, 1957 - February 26, 2026 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ernest “Ernie” Munroe, beloved father, brother, son, uncle, and friend, who passed away at the age of 68 on February 26, 2026, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ernie, the son of Ernest and Esther Munroe, was born in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and raised in Stellarton, NS. He spent the majority of his adult life in Ottawa, Ontario, where he built his career and raised his family. In his final chapter, he returned home to the East Coast, spending his last years in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ernie was a man deeply rooted in his passions and, above all, in the people he loved. He often spoke of the “ride of life” as being like a train journey — a path with many stops along the way — and at each stop, he gathered stories, memories, and relationships he was always eager to share. He had a knack for storytelling and a wicked sense of humour; his sister would often tell him he could be a writer. With rich context, keen attention to detail, and perfectly timed wit, he could describe any situation in a way that had people in stitches long before the story finally reached its end. If you were to picture Dad’s train, it would surely be orange and black — proudly decorated with every piece of Philadelphia Flyers memorabilia imaginable. His loyalty to his team was unwavering, and he carried a special love for the legendary 1974 and 1975 Broad Street Bullies. He made sure his family knew every player and every statistic from those glory years — it was just one of the many things that made him unmistakably Ernie. Ernie’s ride began in Stellarton, where he spent his youth surrounded by family — especially his beloved siblings, Claire (Alida) and Ian Munroe — along with neighbours and a core group of lifelong friends who affectionately nicknamed him “Esther.” Growing up, he could often be found at Leo’s Pool Hall or diving into a Sam’s Pizza, his days filled with sports, laughter, and the easy comfort of small-town life. He played hockey with the Stellarton Royals and took great pride in serving as a Cadet in the Stellarton Cadet Corps, earning several honours, including the Master Cadet Award for Best Cadet. He later joined the militia, spending many summers in Gagetown mentoring young recruits. Though his journey would take him many places, he had already found his happy place — Melmerby Beach. Ernie loved beaches everywhere, but he would always insist there was no better beach than the “’Merb,” day or night. The roots he planted in Stellarton ran deep and stayed with him throughout his life. Ernie’s journey eventually brought him to Ottawa, where he worked proudly as a Union Brother with the IBEW. Still, Ernie was always clear about his priorities —“ he worked to live, never lived to work.” Living life fully and spending time with family and friends were what mattered most to him, and those moments were always the richest part of his story. It was in Ottawa that he raised his two daughters, Hailey and Jade — his greatest pride and the true heart of his ride. Some of his happiest stops could be found on a baseball diamond, at a hockey rink, at the park, or sitting on a beach, simply soaking in time with his girls. His days and nights were often set to the soundtrack of rock and roll, with Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Queen playing loud and proud — music that matched his spirit and stayed with him throughout his life. And when the guitars quieted, you could often find him settled in for Hockey Night in Canada, faithfully watching the game — and you always knew when the Philadelphia Flyers were playing based on the volume in the room. As Dad’s ride began to slow, he welcomed a son-in-law, Jon Graves, whom he trusted deeply. He also cherished the time he continued to spend with his close family, especially his nephew Luke, whom he loved dearly. Ernie was blessed with his grandchildren: Avery, Blake, Hanan, Umar, Abdullah, AbuBakr, Uthman and a beautiful new grandson Ali, on the way. They brought him immense happiness and pride, adding meaningful and treasured stops along his journey. Along the ride, Ernie faced his share of hardships and bumps. In the later years of his life, he struggled with his mental health, which shaped some of the stops he was making. Ernie was as tough as they come. He fought many of his battles with strength and determination, though some of his hardest struggles were the quiet ones he carried within until the final stop on his ride. Ernie was a devoted father, a loving son, a steadfast and loyal brother, and a fun-loving friend. Dad, you will be deeply missed by all who love you. So many memories along the ride of life will bring thoughts of you, because the passion you carried for the people and the things you loved ran deep and left a lasting mark on all of us. As the great Fred Shero, head coach of the 1974 Philadelphia Flyers, once wrote, “Win today and we walk together forever.” Dad, you will forever be in our hearts — and we will always walk together. A celebration of Ernie’s life will be held in the warmer months. Details will be shared with family and friends once they are finalized. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ernie’s memory may be made to Jumpstart , a foundation that works to ensure children have access to sport and play.

Jean loved and was loved by her family and many close friends. She kept in touch with friends and neighbours she met throughout her life and enjoyed visiting with them regularly. She was an avid baker and enjoyed baking special treats for her visitors and neighbours. Not being happy to sit still for long when she wasn’t baking, she could often be found in her garden.

She is predeceased by her brother Bill, parents George and Isabel, husband Sidney, and her son Bill. A private service will be held for close family and friends in Maple Ridge, BC.

Dartmouth, NS September 29, 1956 - February 08, 2026 It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of John Gordon Bews, of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia on Sunday, February 8th at the age of 69 years after a quiet battle with cancer. John was predeceased by his parents George and Violet Bews and will be lovingly remembered and missed by his wife Janet, sons George (Tina), Gavin (Nora), Bill, his three grandchildren Eden, Oliver, Declan and his brother Brian and sister Jill (Andy). Born in Dorval, Quebec, John spent most of life in the Dartmouth area where he planted his roots. John grew up with his nose in a book, and was extremely good at absorbing and retaining knowledge. As a young adult, John married Janet, started a family while obtaining two university degrees and working in record sales. He ultimately pursued a career in carpentry and renovations. He was always ready to share (whether you wanted it or not) his encyclopedic knowledge and experience and could fix almost anything (when HE wanted to). John was a fabulous cook, a skill passed on to his children. We had many memorable meals with family and friends who were always happy to attend when John's cuisine was on the table. He enjoyed playing hockey and baseball and was a lifelong fan of the Habs and (former) Expo’s. He was also an avid collector and enjoyer of music. His unrelenting passion for the works of Bob Dylan as well as other musicians was a cornerstone in many aspects of his life, the driving force for many a road trip to many a concert with Janet, family and friends. A memorial service followed by a reception will be held at Colby Community Church, 131 Colby Drive at 11:00am, Saturday, February 21st with a private interment occurring later in the year. In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to a charity of your choice. A heartfelt thank you to all the doctors and staff who assisted him and especially the medical team at the Dartmouth General Emergency and Overflow Unit. He is greatly missed by his family and friends and for those who knew him there will never be another character like John. As in the lyrics of Bob Dylan he saw “ My light come shining from the west unto the east, any day now, any day now, I shall be released. ”
