McISAAC,
Norma
Frances (née
BUCKLEY)
Halifax, Nova Scotia. Died on Thursday, July 18th at St. Vincent's
Nursing Home in her 97th year with her family by her side. Daughter
of the late Donald J. and Christina
(BLEHR)
BUCKLEY of Sydney,
Nova Scotia, she was the last surviving member of her immediate
family. Norma graduated from the Mount with a Social Work Degree
in 1931 and received her Masters from U. of T. two years later.
She resided at St. Vincent's since 1996 after moving from Ontario
in 1994 to live with her daughter Norma and her family. Although
she suffered from arthritis, she was always in good spirits and
thinking of others. One of her favourite sayings was "It's not
what others think of me that matters, it is how I feel about
myself." She spent her married years with Ron in Montreal (twice),
Halifax, Winnipeg, and finally Toronto before moving to the family
cottage at Thunder Beach, Ontario. She is survived by her daughters
Maryl (Barrie)
STEPHENS of Calgary, Astrid
WHITE/WHYTE of Penetanguishene,
Ontario and Norma (Don)
CUNNINGHAM of Halifax, sons John R. (Jeanne)
of Penetanguishene, Donald of Palmerston, Ontario and Paul (Deborah)
of Powell River, British Columbia, seventeen grandchildren and
fourteen great-grandchildren. Norma enjoyed frequent visits from
Friends and family who always gave her something to look forward
to in her later years. She will also be missed by many nephews
and nieces along with her dear cousin, Frank
BUCKLEY of Toronto.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Ron in 1974 and their
daughter Diane in 1990. A Mass of Christian Burial and cremation
has already taken place at Norma's request. There will be a memorial
service at St. Vincent's on Friday, July 21st at 9: 30 a.m. followed
by an interment service in Ontario later this summer to rest
with Ron and Diane. Donations in memory of Norma can be made
to St. Vincent's Nursing Home, Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Arthritis
Society of Canada or The Martyrs' Shrine, Midland, Ontario. Many
thanks to those who eased Norma's suffering over the years, especially
the dedicated staff at St. Vincent's who tended to her and the
family in the last days. May she rest in peace with Ron and Diane
in the hands of the Lord.
