It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Ellen Margaret ‘Nellie’ Yates 95, on Sunday, January 27, 2013, at the home of her granddaughter, Marie and John David on Tower Road, where she resided the last 20 years

She was predeceased by her husband, John James; daughter, Josephine O’Neil; many brothers and sisters including brother, Neddie who always had a special place in her heart.
She was a devout member of St. Mary’s Anglican Church and a dedicated homemaker for many years. Nellie enjoyed her nights of bingo, camping and card games with her family. Special thanks go out to Dr. O’Brien, his receptionist Crystal and the staff of County Homemakers – your compassion will never be forgotten.
