NIXON,
Annie McPhail "Nan" (née
McLEAN)
Nan NIXON passed away peacefully at Errinrung Residence in Thornbury
on Monday May 26, 2008 at the age of 93. Born in Greenock, Scotland,
she was the daughter of John and Lilius (née
DELGARNO)
McLEAN.
At the age of 15 Nan immigrated to Canada with her parents and
siblings. Although Nan received a limited education and faced
many challenges in her earlier life, as was so often the case
in those years, she was able to fulfill her most important dreams,
those of raising her family and being a kind and loving mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother. She is remembered by her family
and Friends as a wise woman whose patience and forgiveness set
examples for all to follow. She loved her home and ensured that
it was always a welcoming environment for all and her homemaking
skills were passed as a legacy to her children. Her home was
always clean, the treadle sewing machine rarely resting as she
made and re-made clothing for her family and the results of her
knitting and quilting were cherished by all who received her
homemade gifts. Above all Nan loved to play with the grandchildren
sharing their laughter while enjoying checkers, dominoes, snakes
and ladders and many card games. She encouraged her family to
strive to succeed by endeavoring to do their best at whatever
task might be in front of them. She shared her spirit with the
gentle 'toughness' that was her inspiring strength of character.
Nan was predeceased by her husband Robert Henry
NIXON in 1956
when she was a woman of 41 years of age and she remained undaunted
in her dedication that her family should know the warmth and
security of home. She is remembered as a loving mother by her
daughters Dorothy
FROST of Thornbury, Isobel
LEVACQUE of Collingwood
and Debra Nixon
McLEOD of Nottawa and she was predeceased by
her son Bill
NIXON.
She▼ is lovingly remembered as a dear mother-in-law
by her daughter-in-law Betty
(SANGSTER)
Nixon
VANDERLINDEN of
Clayhurst,
British
Columbia, and by her son-in-law Roger
McLEOD
of Nottawa. She will also be remembered by her brother Jim
McLEAN
of Parksville, British Columbia and by sisters-in-law May
McLEAN
and Joy McLEAN, both of Meaford. Nan was also predeceased by
sons-in-law Bill
FROST,
Ray
LEVACQUE and Dale
VANDERLINDEN and
by brothers and sisters John
McLEAN
(Isabelle,)
Jean
SMITH (Harvey,)
May MARTIN (Ray), David
McLEAN, Tom
McLEAN (Ethel), and Bill
McLEAN.
Nan will be most affectionately remembered as the devoted
matriarch of her family including her seven grandchildren and
thirteen great-grandchildren and her many nieces and nephews
and their families. As Nan desired, a family service of committal
and interment of her cremated remains, officiated by Reverend
Dr. Brian GOODINGS of Grace United Church, was conducted at Thornbury-Clarksburg
Union Cemetery on Friday May 30 where Nan's ashes were interred
with her late husband. If so desired, and in memory of Nan, memorial
donations to Thameswood Lodge, a residence for cancer patients
in London, Ontario, would be appreciated and may be made through
the Ferguson Funeral Home, The Valley Chapel, in Thornbury to
whom arrangements have been entrusted.
