  • ARENBURG, Dorothy

    Wileville, NS December 16, 1960 - January 24, 2024 In Loving Memory of Dorothy "Dolly" Millicent Arenburg Dorothy Millicent Arenburg, born on December 16, 1960, in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, peacefully passed away on January 24, 2024. She was the beloved daughter of Raymond and Grace Oxford. Her early life in Newfoundland was a chapter that paved the way for an extraordinary love story. After meeting Randall at the hotel where she worked, he swept her away to Nova Scotia, where Dolly and Randall embarked on a 35-year marriage, characterized by a love like no other. Dolly, a woman of profound love and incredible resilience, navigated various job roles, including call center positions, where she formed lasting friendships. Dedicated years were also spent at home, raising her children, and extending her nurturing care to other children in the home as well. A source of immeasurable joy for Dolly was her role as a grandmother. Her pride and love for her grandchildren, Noah, Finn, and Abigail, knew no bounds, creating bonds that will echo through generations. Dolly's zest for life manifested in her love for adventure with her husband and family. She found delight in spending time at Rayport Campground, embarking on road trips, enjoying scenic drives, and relishing the simple pleasures of shopping and self-care, always with a flair for getting her hair and nails done. Together with Randall, she crafted a treasure trove of memories through their travels to destinations like Las Vegas, Bermuda, Grand Bahamas, and Florida. Each journey marked not only by the places they visited but by the shared laughter and moments that defined their life together. A recent description by a friend perfectly captures Dolly's essence - a "beautiful soul and heart" who would go to great lengths for anyone in need. Kind, caring, and devoted, Dolly's impact on the lives she touched will be a lasting legacy. As we bid farewell to Dolly, let us remember her not with sorrow but with gratitude for the love, laughter, and warmth she brought into our lives. May her spirit continue to shine brightly in the memories we hold dear. Dolly is survived by her husband, Randall; children Randy (Amanda), and Melanie (Justin); grandchildren, Noah, Finn, and Abigail; brothers Raymond, Mike, and John; sisters Joyce, Sadie, and Rose; long time friend Geneva, Goddaughter Christina; and many nieces and nephews.

Doris married her late husband Raymond “Ray” John Landry on November 11,1957.

  • BOATES, Francis (Keith)

    Kentville, NS December 8, 1930 - January 24, 2024 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of Francis "Keith" Boates on January 24, 2024, in the Valley Regional Hospital. Born in Kentville, Nova Scotia, on December 8, 1930, Keith was the son of F. Irving and Verna (Smith) Boates. He attended Kings County Academy and obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Dalhousie University. After working in the insurance industry for a few years, Keith made a monumental career change when he and his wife, Charlotte (Ritcey) purchased a large apple farm in 1960 and moved their family to Woodville, Nova Scotia. Keith became quite a pioneer during his 50+ years in the farming sector when he not only grew apples but also promoted various ways of marketing them. Initially Keith set out to export apples on a large scale; however, in the 1970s, his business focus changed to the local market and direct marketing. He opened, what is believed to be, the first U-pick in Nova Scotia, operated a fruit stand for 30 years at Bayer’s Road Shopping Centre, exported apples to Newfoundland by delivering them himself in a tractor trailer, produced sweet apple cider and apple cider vinegar, and later began transitioning the farm to organic with his son who continues to run Boates Farm today. Keith was past President of the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association and member of the United Church of Canada. As a boy, Keith always had a great interest in all things electrical and mechanical. In 1948, at the age of 18, Keith sought out a 1922 Stanley Steamer touring car. He drove this for many years, which fulfilled his interest in steam power. During his lifetime he owned steam, gas, diesel, and electric cars. He always claimed the ’22 steamer was quieter than his 2022 electric Kona and that the touring car had a far greater vantage point when travelling. Keith loved spending time in his workshop where he always had a ‘project’ on. Among many, they included building his own continuous cider press, vinegar production equipment, apple harvester, solar heated swimming pool and reconfiguring his current home on the farm with passive solar, geothermal and photovoltaic where over the last few years, he used mostly solar energy. Keith was considered a man ahead of his time. Keith is survived by his wife Charlotte (Ritcey) of 69 years; children, Janet (Doug) McDougall; Heather Boates (Ken Graham); and Brian (Karma Chickoski); grandchildren, Kyle (Sally), Sean (Joline), Sofia (Quincy), Lee (Jill), Kaleb and Clark; great grandchildren, Isabelle and Calvin; brother Matthew (Holly) and sister Catherine Green, along with nieces and nephews. Keith was predeceased by his parents and a brother in infancy. As per Keith’s request, a private family service and interment has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at the Woodville Community Hall on Sunday, February 11 from 2-4 pm. In Keith’s memory, be sure to buy local, re-use and recycle. Arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.

  • DOREY, Laurie Albert

    New Ross, NS January 22, 2024 Dorey, Laurie Albert, 81, of New Ross, NS, passed away on Monday, January 22, 2024, in the Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, surrounded by his family. Born in South Alton, he was a son of the late Arthur William and Annie Louise (Knockwood) Dorey. Laurie was a man with an unbeatable work ethic. He worked as a carpenter with a career spanning over 50 years. Throughout his career, he was involved in many big projects, including when he was appointed Shop Steward during the construction of the Coldbrook and District School. In addition to his carpentry skills, Laurie was a skilled mechanic and could fix anything with an engine. He was very mechanically gifted; it appeared all Laurie needed to do was listen to your car and he could tell you what was wrong with it. These skills he passed on to his sons so they could repair their vehicles. He always said a job worth doing was a job worth doing well – always give your best. When he wasn’t hard at work, Laurie loved to be in the woods, fishing, snowmobiling or cutting wood. His favourite pastime, however, was hunting with his sons. He was an avid hunter who also would trap fox, rabbits, beavers and bobcats, hunt for deer, and he especially enjoyed trips to the Cape Breton Highlands to hunt moose. While in the earlier days he may not have caught much with six boys trailing behind him, he raised them all to be accomplished hunters and outdoors-oriented men. Laurie was also known to be incredibly strong, having a perfect arm-wrestling record with his boys. After one match, the boys realized how truly strong their father was. He was very principled and could also be quite headstrong and direct – you would certainly know where you stood with him, but this never overshadowed his giving nature - he was a man who would do anything for anyone. Laurie took great pride in his Mi’kma’ki heritage. He so enjoyed his pleasant discourses with DNR officials on Mi’kmaq Treaty Rights. Laurie is survived by wife, Kathy Lorraine (Salsman) Dorey, sons; John William, Laurie Allan, Brian Kevin, Timothy Albert, Toney Stephen, Jeffrey Myles, and daughter, Ronda Lee Toney (Dorey); brothers, Millage and Edward Dorey, many grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren as well a numerous nieces and nephews. As well as his parents, Laurie was predeceased by brother, Henry Dorey; sisters, Hattie Sproule and Florence Campeau as well as his first wife Betty Lyle Reese. As per Laurie’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service. Family will be having an informal celebration of life so that his many family and friends can enjoy time together sharing stories and food. Celebration of life will be held on February 3, 2024 from 1-5pm at the Forties Community Center, 1787 Forties Rd, New Ross. Laurie’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff of Valley Regional Hospital and Sipekne’katik Heath Center for their care of Laurie, and to the Sipekne’katik staff of Jordan’s Principle for all of their help. You will be in our hearts and minds forever. Donations in memory may be made to Canadian Cancer Society. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
