Anne Julia Townsend
Born In: Tatamagouche
Passed in: Catalone
Passed on: March 23rd, 2015
We the family of Anne Townsend of Catalone, announce her peaceful passing on March 23, 2015, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
She was born in Tatamagouche, N.S. in 1947 to the late Donald and Eleanor Wilson, and the family moved to Louisbourg in 1959.
Anne is survived by her best work, her children, David (Masako), Japan, Don (Sheena), New Zealand, Russell (Tanya), Howie Center, and Isabelle (Sandy) Spencer, Dartmouth; and treasured grandchildren, Jack and Sam, Kieran, Neala and Zachary; brothers-in-law, George (Rose) Townsend and Fred (Jean) MacIntyre; nephews, Melvin and Michael; niece Kelly, and so many wonderful, supportive friends.
Anne enjoyed her time so much with her friends at Loaves and Fishes on Tuesdays and her friends at the Kiwanis pool. She was a kind and beautiful person who gave selflessly to others, always with a smile on her face, and she will be dearly missed.
Besides her parents, Anne was predeceased by her loving husband Jim in 2013, sister-in-law Kaye MacIntyre and several nieces and nephews.
No words can describe how wonderful the doctors, nurses and volunteers on the palliative care unit were. Their kindness and compassion goes above and beyond.
Cremation has taken place. Funeral service will be held at the First United Church in Louisbourg on Saturday, April 4, 2015, at 11 a.m. with Rev. Emily Duggan officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Palliative Care Unit, Loaves and Fishes, or the SPCA.
