Vera Annie Power

Born: December 8th, 1930

Passed on: June 7th, 2017

Halifax, NS
(Formerly of Corner Brook)
The Power family would like to share the heartbreaking news of the death of their mother, Vera Annie Power (Penney) on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at the Halifax Infirmary, NS at the age of 86. She is predeceased by her parents George and Hettie; her husband Basil and two of her sisters, Mildred and Janette. She leaves to mourn her remaining siblings: Ella, Hazel, Joyce, George (Rose), Winnie (Barry) and Betty (Robert); her children: Richard, Stephen (Joy), Dennis, Judy, Marie (Jamie Simpson); her grandchildren: Michael (Krissy Snooks), Sean (Joani); her great-grandchildren: Melissa, Cody, Breanna, Jessica, Brittany and Gracie; as well as many nieces and nephews. Although she lived her last few years in NS, she was fiercely proud of being a Newfoundlander, and will be happy that, after cremation in Halifax, we will be bringing her home to Corner Brook, NL for her funeral, amongst her lifelong friends and family. Born in Carbonear, NL to Hettie (Jennings) and George Penny, she moved to Corner Brook soon after, where she lived amongst her many, many friends, and family. Though she was mainly a stay at home mother, Mom was very active over the years with her friends, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, aquafit, and more. She always kept her treasured Coleman stove in the trunk of her car, with tea makings, for an impromptu road trip. She was very popular and loved at her home in Almon Place, Halifax, playing Skip-Bo, Bingo (winning too frequently) and arranging afternoon teas, and we will plan a celebration of her life for her dear friends there at a later date. Friends may visit Fillatre's Funeral Home, 4 St. Mark's Avenue on Thursday, June 15, 2-4 and 7-9. The funeral service will be held at All Hallows on Humber Road by Father Edward Terry, on Friday, June 16 at 10 am, followed by burial at Mount Patricia Cemetery and a reception at the All Hallows Church basement. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society or Heart & Stroke Foundation. The family guest book may be signed by visiting www.fillatre.ca.
