New Glasgow, NS January 27, 1958 It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness we announce the passing of Katherine (Kathy) Julia Rose, 66, of New Glasgow. Born in Fairview, N.S on January 27, 1958, she was the youngest daughter of Lyle Rose and Mary Rose (nee O'Neill). Kathy remained in Fairview until February 1970 when a family visit to Toronto turned into a short term move that helped her discover the spirit of the 70's, the culture of which stuck with her until the day she passed. The family returned to Fairview briefly, and finally settled in Pictou County in the summer of 1971. Kathy left school to pursue a career in local restaurants, working both in the kitchens and as a waitress. It was during these years that she honed her incredible cooking skills, often working alongside her mother, learning Mary's many kitchen secrets. In 1976, she began working at Zellers in New Glasgow, where she quickly worked up to a position at the customer service desk. She made many lifelong friends here, and enjoyed the job immensely but ultimately decided to pursue her education and attend vocational school in the fall of 1977 in Stellarton. She first obtained her High School Equivalency in 1978, followed by Commercial 2 (Secretarial) in 1979, graduating at the top of her class with honours. This later lead Kathy to a new career in 1980 at CIBC as a secretary in the loan department. One fateful Saturday night in the fall of 1979 around midnight, after a dance at Goodman's, in true Pictou County fashion, Kathy and a couple of friends found themselves at Johnny James' Restaurant when three Michelin workers walked in after a 4-12. Having equal numbers, the girls accepted an invitation to hang out at "Day" boy’s apartment. Once at the apartment conversation ensued between her and Philip Fisher, little did she know at the time but he would become her life partner for more than 44 years, even though it took Philip another 6 months and his best friend Craig King to ask on his behalf, Kathy and Philip began dating in July of 1980. With the love of her life by her side and a career she excelled at, it would appear life couldn’t get better for Kathy, but sadly just six months into their relationship in January of 1981, Kathy would find herself in hospital at the Victoria General in Halifax paralyzed from the neck down. The diagnosis was quickly determined to be Multiple Sclerosis. With little compassion, as was the style at the time, the neurologist told Philip to move on with his life, things would not improve. Boy was he wrong. Shortly after her devastating diagnosis, Kathy attended the Nova Scotia Rehab facility in Halifax to regain what faculties she could. While there, she learned that many people were much worse off than she was. This realization lit a fighting spirit that served her well during her many health battles over the years, and helped her make a remarkable recovery at the time. Though bound to wheelchair for the remainder of her life, she never once complained nor let it bother her. Life went on as normal. On November 21, 1985, born three months premature, Kathy and Philip welcomed their only son Justin. Though not planned, he was the welcome addition that completed their family and Kathy could not have been more excited to be a mother, a role she excelled at. Though not always easy and often times challenging, you would be hard pressed to find a better mother. During his early school years, Justin was very stubborn but she always got through to him. She even taught him to ride a bike while Philip was away on a fishing trip. Kathy and Justin shared a deep-rooted love for classic rock, her taste in music was second to none, as well as a love for crime documentaries, and of course her home cooking. Always dreaming of being a grandmother and not hiding it from Justin, she was blessed with a grandson, Daxtin in May of 2022, and fell less than two months short of meeting her soon-to-be-granddaughter. Kathy always had a cat or three that she loved as much as additional children. Aside from being a diligent mother, cat mom, and keeping the home fires burning for her family, Kathy had no shortage of activities to keep her busy. She always had a new craft on the go and willingly gave her time to many volunteer organizations for the disabled of Pictou County over the years. She is survived by her partner of 44 years, Philip Fisher; their only son; Justin (Brittany) Fisher; grandson, Daxtin Fisher; granddaughter about to be born baby girl; sisters: Susan (Donald Frost) Rose, Vernette O'Neill; brothers: Bobby (Valerie) Rose, Billy (Yevette) Rose, Paul (Telly Law) O'Neill; brother-in-law, Arthur Fisher; sisters-in-law: Annie Mae (Bill) Nelson, Myrna (Stephen) Logan, Treasure (Amos) Margeson; many nieces and nephews; best friend since childhood, Verlie Tyson; lifelong friend, Violet (Sis) Harris; and fur baby, Bella. She was predeceased by her parents and long-time close friend, Nancy Caddell. Philip and Justin would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank Dr. T.R Park M.D (ret.), Darren Blakader (N.P), Robin Fraser (R.N), Megan Smith (LPN), Steve Schlay (RN), Jacquelyn Jamieson (RN), Angela Kirwin (LPN), Ashley Lewis (LPN), Janet Dempsey (CCA), Jen MacNeil (CCA), Suzanne MacKeigan (CCA), Linda MacLeod (CCA), as well as the staff of the Aberdeen Hospital Palliative Care Unit. All of whom showed exemplary compassion, and went above and beyond. Always a cat lover, we ask that donations in Kathy's name may be made to the Pictou County Chapter of CARMA Cat Rescue . In accordance with her wishes, a private family graveside burial will take place at a later date.

It has come to our attention that navigating the world of obituaries is becoming more confusing, especially for the elderly.

Sydney, NS November 4, 2024 After three days of peaceful sleep, surrounded by family sharing stories about her, Rita Marie MacDonald Campbell departed our world at the age of 88 after a short illness, cared for until the end by the wonderful team at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Born in Sydney’s North End in 1936, Marie was the third child of Tom Roach and Peggy (nee MacNeil) and is survived by her siblings, Tom, Jr. (Iris, Antigonish); Elma (Sydney); and Mary (Sydney). Marie was predeceased by her sister, Betty (and brother-in-law, Donald, Chester). Marie is also now reunited with many other brothers- and sisters-in-law that passed before her. Marie is survived by her husband of 24 years, John C. Campbell; and was predeceased by her first husband of 32 years, John Bryden MacDonald (d. 1989). Marie had five children with Bryden and became stepmother to John’s six children. Marie’s children are Bryden, Jr. (Halifax); Marilyn (Chuck, Sydney); Maureen (Sydney); Allan (Dawn, Dartmouth); and Lorne (Sung Sik, Burnaby). Marie’s stepchildren are Colin (Adrienne, Toronto); Peter (Emily, Burlington); Paul (Toronto); Clare (Gordie, Howie Centre); Ian (Lorna, Sydney); and Ann (Glen, Sydney). Marie had 21 grandchildren: Andrew, Bronwyn, Bryden, Callum, Catherine, Ciaran, Colin, Heather, Jenny, Jessie, John, Katelyn, Kathleen, Lee, Liam, Maria, Mariah, Mave, Meghan, Nora and Sarah; and six great-grandchildren: Anna, Charlotte, Emma, Lauren, Lily and Madeline. A visit from any one of the above brought joy to her heart. Valedictorian of her graduating class at Holy Angels in 1953, Marie went on to graduate with an RN from St. Joseph’s in Glace Bay in 1957. Years later, returning to school when her children were older, Marie earned a BA from St. FX in 1979. Additional training at the Nova Scotia Hospital in Dartmouth led to a rewarding career as a mental health nurse with Child and Adolescent Services. Marie’s hobbies and interests were numerous, with Scrabble leading the way. A ruthless and bloodthirsty gladiator on the Scrabble board, a field of battle upon which she took no prisoners, Marie’s Scrabble IQ did irk and vex any foe. At frightened opponents she would hurl a suspicious-looking abbreviation and dare them to challenge her. Upon disposing of her latest victim, she would cool down with a crossword puzzle. Marie was also a voracious reader of novels and biographies (and the Scrabble dictionary) over the course of her always evolving life. She was a passionate collector of art by local artists and a painter herself of watercolors and oil. As her friends and family will attest, blank space on the walls of her home was hard to find. In recent years, Marie and John C. called Parkland home and they enjoyed very much the many activities with their community of friends there. From dancing with John Bryden to skating with John C., Marie loved to get out and socialize. Socializing at home was also important. To Marie, three was a crowd, four was a game of charades. With both Bryden and John, there was travel, concerts and laughter. Marie was also a connoisseur of wine, both nice wine and cheap wine, plus the occasional shot of Bailey’s when the mood struck. Marie was a loyal supporter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada as well as the New Waterford Coal Bowl Classic, which she kept close to heart since its beginnings forty years ago. She was also a devout Catholic and past president of the CWL. Marie’s children ask that in lieu of flowers, a gift be made to the An Cala Palliative Care Unit at Cape Breton Regional Hospital in honour of their compassionate end-of-life care. Visitation and memorial service to celebrate the life of Marie MacDonald Campbell will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church St.), Whitney Pier on Friday, November 8, 2024. A gathering of family and friends will take place from 10 a.m. to 12 noon with the memorial service to follow at 12 p.m. in the All Faith Chapel with Fr. Paul Murphy officiating. Interment will take place in Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.

Kentville, NS April 28, 1935 - October 31, 2024 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George Kenneth "Ken" Morse on October 31, 2024, with family at his side. Ken was born on April 28, 1935, in Somerset, NS, to parents Kenneth and Marguerite (White) Morse. He was a beloved husband, son, father, brother, uncle, grandfather (known to some as Grampie or Buppie) and great-grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Gertrude; children: Richard (Patricia Bowen), Robert (Krista), Shelley (Jim Byers), Michelle (Trevor) Young, Susan (Mike) Mitchell, Ray (Dorothy Keddy), and Jill (David Brien); stepchildren: Stephen (Rina) and Timothy Verbong, Danielle (Doug) Haas; grandchildren: Laurie (Graham) Husband, Lacey (Tom) Johns, Hattem (Ashley) Morse, Brian "Jack" (Jessica) Morse, Miranda (Keegan) Ashmead, Logan (Tim Greer) Morse,  Mckenna Morse Mitchell, Brandon and Ryan Quigley; 15 step-grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren. Always an entrepreneur with an exceptional business acumen, Ken was a dedicated worker who took pride in workmanship. He started his self-employed journey in his teenage years growing vegetables and beef farming, and later growing tobacco. However, his greatest passion was trucking. He began his trucking career 68 years ago when he purchased his first truck for $400, a 2.5 ton Chev single axle and started hauling gravel for the various road projects on the go in the 1950s. By 1965, he had 3 trucks and started growing faster. He was a pioneer in the Nova Scotia trucking industry, having obtained one of the first NS motor carrier licenses. When industry regulation was preventing him from expanding his business, he found a clever way to bypass regulation by creating a rental and leasing business. This was the path that led him to establish G.K. Morse Trucking Ltd., a family business that remains in operation under the leadership of Rick and Robert. His business enterprises led to many connections with respected suppliers and longtime customers, for which he was thankful. He looked forward to hauling Christmas trees to the United States each year and appreciated the partnerships he created with NS Christmas tree growers. He was also proud to be a land developer, road builder, and landlord. He worked at the office until the age of 85, steadfastly being the first one in the door in the morning, and the last one out at night. When Covid kept him home, he maintained constant contact and kept an eye on the business and employees from home. There were ups and downs in business, but Ken’s mantra was always "never give up". During the pandemic he missed his social interactions with family and friends, especially his 6am Sunday morning breakfast meetings with Phil Jordan, Sonny Bennett, and Harvey Hanna. Through his business ventures and antique car interest he met many people throughout Canada and the United States, forging many lasting relationships and friendships. When not working he could often be found with tools in hand, tinkering with an old car and joyfully restoring antique automobiles with the same dedication he brought to his career.  If he wasn’t in the shop, he was likely trucking to "the land of opportunity" (the United States) in search of treasures to bring back. He was saddened when he could no longer continue his annual trips to Hershey for the antique car flea markets. As an ardent collector of antique automobiles, he had a keen interest in Ford, Mercury and Lincoln cars and trucks, Packards, and tractors, especially John Deere. Ken was a skilled mechanic, obtaining his Red Seal Truck and Transport Mechanic license at the age of 75. He found great pleasure in rebuilding engines and restoring his antique automobiles. As an extension of this hobby, he liked attending car shows, tractor pulls, and NASCAR races. He was knowledgeable in many areas and loved history, especially in his research of the Morse genealogy. He knew the family tree inside and out and made sure his children all knew their cousins and their families in the USA. He enjoyed listening to country music and was thrilled when he discovered the Willie’s Roadhouse channel on satellite radio. In the early fifties he was a member of the Berwick Male Choir with his brother. As a young adult, he played hockey for the Valley Flyers in Berwick and was also on tug-of-war teams. He was an avid reader and enthusiastic traveler, reveling in new discoveries through literature and sightseeing. If you ever visited a museum with Ken, you had to prepare to be there a long time because he had to read every piece of information provided at the site! Forever a storyteller, his sarcasm and quick wit always kept people smiling and laughing. One of his favourite quotes was from Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right". He had an interest in politics and volunteered for various political campaigns for municipal, provincial, and federal elections. In the eighties, he put himself into the fray and was elected two terms as a Kings County councillor from 1982-1988. He decided to run in an attempt to lower taxes, promote responsible budgeting, and provide transparency for constituents and county residents at large. He was known for his fearless ability to speak up for others. You never had to guess where Ken stood on an issue, as he would be sure to tell you. A respected mentor, Ken gave many their first start in trucking, always eager to share his extensive knowledge and experience. His influence cultivated a loyal team, with several long-term employees, including Lawrence Keddy, who started with the company 52 years ago. His office staff were equally dedicated, from Barb Montford, who first set the tone of professionalism, to Shannon Metcalf, who continues to keep the office running smoothly to this day. Ken was always thankful for the dedication of his employees over the last 68 years and remained humbled that his business success was, in part, due to their loyalty and commitment to the business. Without them, his business success would not have been possible. He was predeceased by his parents, son David, brother and sister-in-law Harry and Madelyn Morse, nephew Michael Rawding and grand-niece Ashley Rawding. Arrangements for cremation have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 16, 2024 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville, followed by a reception, and will be livestreamed for those unable to attend. A private family burial will follow at a later date at the Lakeview Cemetery, Lakeville. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Fidelis House in Kentville.

When he wasn’t out working on the farm, he spent his time tending to all his gardens on the property he loved so much. Bob and MaryAnn were avid stock car race fans and spent many summers traveling to Riverside International Speedway to enjoy the sport they loved together.

Dorothy worked as a secretary at the Nova Scotia Hospital for a few years until she decided to dedicate her life to her family as a homemaker. She was extremely dedicated to her family, particularly her grandchildren, Jordan and Breea. They were her greatest joys. Spending much time babysitting them in their younger years and attending almost all of their sporting events. Strongly encouraging them from the stands. She formed lasting beautiful memories for them to cherish. Never missing an opportunity to express her love for them. She adored spending time with her husband John (Sonny), and anyone who knew them could see the intense love they shared. There was rarely a time they were not seen holding hands. We will remember her as being feisty and fiercely protective of her loved ones. Dorothy is survived by her husband, and soulmate, John (Sonny) Ross Terry; her two loving children, daughter Judith Webber (Vern), and son Jeremy Terry; and her two adoring grandchildren: Jordan Webber and Breea Webber.  Also, sisters and brothers on her husband’s side of the family who she loved dearly.
