Springhill, NS June 17, 2024 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Barbara Jeane Moore, 81 years, of Springhill, on Tuesday, June 17, 2024 in The East Cumberland Lodge, Pugwash. Born in Springhill, she was a daughter of the late Horace G. and Hazel (Ward) Brown. Barb's most important love was her family. Michael, her husband of 38 years, was her rock. Their passion for one another was strong and lasted until the moment she passed. They are reunited once again. She adored being a mom and a nana, making arts and crafts with the kids, giving them a hug, when they (or she) needed it. She gave back endlessly to the community volunteering for CGIT, Allied Youth, IODE, and being an Elementary Teacher. If she heard someone wasn't well, she would try to reach out to them and extend her care and support. An active member of St. Andrews Wesley United Church, she participated over the years in just about every facet of the church. Their cottage along the Pugwash shore brought her and her family many years of joy. She was a great believer in preserving memories, either through her photography or writing. She received great therapy composing poetry, writing letters, or journaling. Her endless past times included puzzling, and planning any event she could help with. Her sweet tooth loved ice cream, enjoying a diet pepsi, and a taste of pumpkin pie. She will be dearly missed by her son Andrew (Bonnie) Moore, Springhill; grandchildren, Emily (Rob) Hudson, Meaghan Moore, Seamus (Rita Clare LeBlanc) and Anna Moore; great grandchildren Angus and Piper Mills, Graham and Theo Hudson; a sister, Sidney Myatt, Dartmouth, NS.

New Glasgow, NS March 11, 1933 - June 17, 2024 His family is saddened to announce the passing of Irvine Elwood Fleet on June 17, 2024 at the Aberdeen Hospital with family by his side. Born March 11, 1933 in Louisbourg to the late Jennie (Pearl) and Ivan E. Fleet, he spent his youth in Louisbourg before the family moved to Trenton after the War. He often spoke of the years during high school and the early years of working and evenings spent cruising in one of Gramp’s cars and hanging out with friends at McCarron’s Restaurant. At one point, he and his brother bought a car that they worked on and a friend drove in the stock car races. They were also expected to help in the family store with stocking and deliveries. He started working shortly after graduation at Hawker Siddeley delivering mail, eventually working up to Employee Benefits Supervisor from where he retired after more than 40 years. For many years after retirement, the phone would ring at home from people needing assistance about their pensions and he would always try to help them as much as he could. The middle years saw him working hard and raising his brood of five. The little down time he had found him gardening, bowling, day trips with family and watching his Blue Jays games. He was also an active member of First United Church. Shortly after his retirement, his wife Jean suffered an aneurysm and her care became his focus. Due to his love and care, she was able to stay at home for over 20 years before she went into the nursing home. He was always a little lost after that. In September 2021 dementia changed everything. After a time in hospital, he took up residence at the Veterans Unit in Pictou where his dry sense of humor was greatly enjoyed by the staff. He is survived by children: Douglas, Ian, Bruce and Donna; grandchildren: David (Josee), Emily, Matthew (Cassie), Madison and Embry; and first great-grandson, Finnigan; sisters: Barbara (Avedis) Balmanoukian and Muriel Hetu; former daughters-in-law: Tracy and Kathy; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents; his wife of 62 years, Jean (Martin); daughter, Lynn; sister, Helen; brother, Harvey. Funeral 2pm Friday, June 21, in R.H. Porter Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave., New Glasgow, with Rev. Dr. Glen Matheson officiating. Burial in Hillside Cemetery. If you care to do something in Irvine’s memory, donations may be made to First United Church, Trenton, Heart and Stroke Foundation or the SPCA. Please remember him by thinking of something he often said to us: "You may think you don’t have much, but there is always someone who has less" …so always be kind and as generous as you can be to others.

Years of Air Force life allowed Flo to live in various parts of Canada where she made many lifelong friends. Years later, life changed as it can, and Flo moved to Halifax. This is where she met Gerald "Gerry" Shipley. They married in Hawaii and spent many years traveling the world. Flo was a true lady. She was always dressed up, hair was curled, makeup and jewelry on and nails perfectly shaped and painted. Flo’s biggest part of her story was the connections that she made with people. Whether it was a visit, a phone call, a card or a kiss and a wave goodbye, you knew she cared. She always made sure to stay in contact with those she met over the years and she cherished every one of those friendships. Her last few years were spent at Shiretown Nursing Home where her son, Fred, visited almost daily as their bond was exceptional. Flo made many more heartfelt connections with the staff who took great care of her. Flo is survived by her son, Fred Vince (Trudy); granddaughters: Hayley Finley (Trevor) and Jodi MacIvor (David); great-granddaughters: Gracie, Hannah and Emma; great-grandson, Jack; step-grandson, Justin DeYoung (Shannon) and step-great-grandchildren Olan, Willow and Cullen; sister-in-law, Alberta; several nieces and nephews and many dear friends. Flo was predeceased by her husband, Gerald Shipley; sisters: Lydia McChesney, Georgina Connors and brother, Clarence "Pat" Dunbar; brothers-in-law: Stewart Connors and Lolly McChesney; several nephews and her great-granddaughter, Molly MacIvor. There will be no service as per her wishes. Cremation has taken place and a family committal service will be held in the Abercrombie Cemetery. In memory of Flo, please pick up the phone to call someone, send a card in the mail or sit and look someone in the eyes and have a conversation with them. These are the important things that will be cherished forever. Arrangements are under the direction of R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New Glasgow.

She brought so many smiles to peoples faces who stopped by to have a chat. She fought hard those 16 years, giving her all even through her tough days, always showing up with a smile. Colleen enjoyed the simple things in life. She was her happiest heading out on the weekends with her mother to enjoy late nights at the Port Hawkesbury Legion or the Carriage House, sitting around and gossiping with her friends. She loved listening and dancing to the music. She would never turn down an opportunity to dance the night away. Colleen was always daddy’s girl. The first born to steal Danny’s heart.

Sophia - the oldest, her God Daughter, spent endless days and nights never being apart. They enjoyed going out shopping together and Snapchat filters. Always being each other's listening ears and can't forget the love they shared with cuddles, kisses and hugs. They were each other's rock. The bond these two shared will never be broken and will live on in Sophia's heart forever. Arabella was Colleen’s sidekick.

Bella also enjoyed and took part in doing anything possible for Colleen. She would be the first to the kitchen to make Colleen a coffee, some toast and an egg. Colleen was the absolute best Aunt to Sophia and Bella, giving them anything and everything. She spoiled those girls at Christmas time, birthdays, you name it, she never hesitated to spend a dollar on them. She was the proudest aunt you could ever ask for. She will be missed, so dearly.

Her newest niece, Rielle, came early at 27 weeks. She wanted to make sure Colleen got a glimpse of her with pictures and facetimes. Colleen was so proud of Rielle. Always making sure she was doing okay. She couldn't wait to hold her and spoil her too. Colleen and her sister Diane loved each other immensely. She was so proud of the mother Diane became. Diane made sure Colleen always had the most beautiful pictures, and Aunty gifts. She made Colleen feel so blessed. She will also miss her fur Nephew Harley, who always put a smile on her face. Colleen’s most favorite pastime was talking on Facetime, seeing her friends and family light up with each call. It got Colleen through some dark days. She was the happiest talking to Harriet Timmons. She could never get enough. She would enjoy every minute of their chats four or five times a day. Harriet kept Colleen calm, happy, loved and adored. The family can’t thank her enough for her support. If she wasn’t talking to Harriet, she would be Facetiming her cousin Irene, aunt Linda or Sophia and Bella with Harley in the background. The family would like to thank everyone who supported Colleen, including friends, Sheila MacNeil and Tanya DeCoste, who went above and beyond for Colleen during her hospital stays.
