A very special thank you to the dialysis staff at the Northside General, and to the staff at the Northside Community Guest Home. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com <http://www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com/> Catherine Elizabeth 'Kaye' Murray Born In: Sydney Mines Born: June 28th, 1930 Passed in: Sydney Mines Passed on: June 3rd, 2016 Catherine Elizabeth ‘Kaye’ Murray was born on June 28, 1930 in Sydney Mines. The math says she was 85 years, 11 months old, but most would not believe that. She was always young at heart … smiling despite any reasons to dwell on tears and accepting despite anyone else’s reasons to doubt or question. We lost her to this world on June 3, 2016, after a three-month stay in the Northside General Hospital. ‘Kaye’ was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to be. She was the definition of humility, gentleness, patience and tolerance at all times. If amazing parenting was a magazine, she could have been the centerfold. Our loss with her passing is a sunset we hoped we’d never ride into. Intelligent, nurturing, never seeking kudos but always appreciating any thought or act of kindness, she was an exemplary person. Admired as a teacher who saw potential as much as need, Catherine taught children not ‘just’ subjects. She was a dedicated, lifelong member of Trinity Anglican Church in Sydney Mines, Cann Rebekah Lodge #57 for decades and served on the board of Miner’s Memorial Manor in Sydney Mines for many years. One of the first things that come to mind when we think of her is the subtle but huge impact she had on all of our lives. Her family and friends … with her through the rough last patches know … she appreciated and gained comfort from that. Many a Stanley Cup would have been won by the Bruins if mom had not chosen to leave the room just as the cannonading drive left the stick. When the Bruins lost she felt it was all her fault! Many an ace of hearts would have been played in Auction 120 had mom not gone to put the kettle on instead of staying to finish her hand and many a Murdock Mystery would have remained unsolved had she not figured the whole thing out five minutes in. PBS, CNN and TSN were on her list of favourite channels and Hello Canada magazine’s posts on babies George and Charlotte always brought on lengthy conversation and huge smiles. We jokingly told her that she was an honorary member of the Royal Family. Catherine is survived by her son Glenn (Carol Freeman) of Fredericton, daughter Deb (Sandra Kelly) of Caribou Marsh, daughter Cheryl Layton (Donald) of Sydney Mines and brother Jack Brown (Helen) of Fredericton. Left as a legacy to her heart as well are three granddaughters, Mallory Layton (Gary Miller) of Lawrencetown, Morganne Spooney ( Josh) of Sydney Mines, Jessica Layton of Vancouver and her grandson Seann ( Kaitlin Morrow) of Toronto. Kaye was predeceased by many precious family members, including her father Edward ‘Teddy’ Peddle, her mom Drusilla ‘Dru’ Brown, her husband Gordon ‘Red’ Murray and, all too soon, her grandson Ryan of Toronto. Catherine became independent out of necessity in 1990 when Gordon died. She met the difficult challenges that brought and her family continued to be her main focus, full tilt, right to the end. We’d truly like to thank Dr. Stephanie Langley for giving mom just the kind of bedside manner, attention and professional care she needed. We’d also like to thank the dedicated and attentive staff of 4 West at the Northside General Hospital, the Northside Homemakers Service Society for their superlative work with her at home and the many EHS paramedics who transported her over the months. There will be no visitation by request. A memorial service will take place at Trinity Anglican Church in Sydney Mines on Tuesday, June 7 at 11 a.m. with Rev Stacey LeMoine officiating. A reception to follow in the Grandy Hall. Burial will take place at Brookside Cemetery in Sydney Mines. On ine condolences can be forwarded to the family at www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com <http://www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com/>. In lieu of flowers, please take time to plant some instead, and may Trinity Anglican Church or the charity of your choice reap the benefit of any heartfelt donation you wish to make. Remember to take time to celebrate life; don’t just “plan” to. Actions trump words every time. “She is not dead ... she does not sleep ... she has awakened from the dream of life.” Adonais Lillian Lorrraine (Matheson) MacLeod Passed on: January 3rd, 2016 A memorial service for the late Lillian Lorraine MacLeod, who passed away Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016, will be held at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Tuesday, June 7 at 2 p.m., with Mr. Gary Grant officiating.
