Passed on: May 12th, 2015
It is with great sadness the family announces the sudden death of Anne Marie Lunn, 69, on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at her home in Sydney.
Born in Port Hood, the town she loved, Anne was the daughter of the late Alex Rory and Florence (MacDonald) MacKillop.
Anne ventured off to Boston as a young woman for employment; she later moved back to her beloved Cape Breton. She was a very religious woman. Anne would light a candle for anyone needing a prayer. She was a religious education teacher, Eucharistic minister and C.W.L. member. Anne loved to walk; you could always see her coming down the street with her big smile, stopping along the way to chat with her many great friends and neighbours in Sydney. She had a rule, never try talking to her while she was watching her favourite hockey team, the Boston Bruins. Anne was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was very proud of her grandchildren, you could always hear her talking about them.
Anne is survived by her son, Chad, Glace Bay; daughter, Janet (Darren), New Waterford; her former husband, Walter Lunn (Theresa), New Waterford; grandchildren, Scott, Rebecca; brothers, Finley, Donnie (Tootsie), Port Hood, Charlie (Gail), Vancouver and her sister, Eunice Nicolle, Halifax. Also surviving are Anne’s special friends, Beryl Grant, Alice Buchanan, Lance MacPhee (Chris), Laurie, Estelle, Evelyn, Lil and Joanne, to name a few.
Anne was predeceased by her brother-in-law, Barry Nicolle.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, New Waterford. The funeral mass, officiated by Fr. Vincent Van Zutphen is Friday, May 15, 2015 at 2 p.m. in St. Peters Parish Hall, Port Hood. Interment will be held in the parish cemetery followed by a reception in the parish hall.
