New Glasgow - Bona “Bonnie” Ruth Alexander (nee Spicer). Bonnie Alexander passed away in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia on July 25, 2016.
Bonnie is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Harold Alexander; children, Larry (Bettie Spence), Carla, Colleen (Andrew Sorensen), Troy (Nadine), and Stephen (Darlene); grandchildren, Rebecca (Dee) Bowman, Robert and Vanessa O'Connor, and Shane, Amy, Gavin, Ryan, and Kylee Alexander; great-grandchildren, Kelsey and Laura Bowman. She was predeceased by her daughters, Christa and Cheryl, Cheryl's husband Bill O'Connor and daughter Beverly, daughter-in-law Marilyn Alexander, and brother-in-law David McCollum.
Bonnie was the daughter and first born child of the late Vanwart and Marian Spicer of Apple River, Nova Scotia. She is missed and lovingly remembered by her siblings, Gwen (Bill) Hopper, Joyce McCollum, Leland (Nancy) Spicer, Anne (Harold) Hatfield, Hartney (Carolyn) Spicer and Lynn (Stuart) Dowe and their families.
Bonnie was a devoted wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who created a beautiful, nurturing home life for her family. Her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life. Her creativity found expression in handmade afghans, quilts, paintings and her garden on the farm that she, Harold and their children restored in rural Pictou County.
Bonnie began working early in life at the post office in Apple River before moving to Moncton to work with the T. Eaton Co. where she made many life-long friendships. Her warm, welcoming manner and artistic abilities benefitted several other companies including Highland Gifts and the Claymore Motel in Antigonish, and Dobson Stationers in Stellarton where she did beautiful window displays.
The family thanks Doctors Kwasnik, Farrell and Elliott; VON nurses; EHS paramedics; the Aberdeen Hospital palliative care staff; the many friends and family who visited and sent best wishes, and friends from the LHM Family Worship Centre for their support and care.
Arrangements have been made to the R.H. Porter Funeral Home and a visitation will be held from 2-4 and 7-9 pm at Porter's Funeral Home, 55 Almont Ave., New Glasgow on Thursday, July 28, 2016. A private family committal service will be held at Glen Bard Cemetery, James River, Antigonish County at a later date.
Flowers are gratefully declined and donations may instead be made to the Pictou County Food Bank. Online condolences may be made at www.rhporter.ca.
