Nelida ‘Nede’ Young
Date de décès : 2 décembre 2017
We, the family, want to announce the passing of Nelida Young ‘Nede’, born April 10, 1940 and died December 2, 2017, at Northside General Hospital. She was the daughter of the late Ben and Liza Young of Bras d’Or.
She is survived by her sisters, Lex McManaman, Naish Addicott, Lenora Jessome (Emerson) and Sally Stubbert (Brosie); sisters-in-law, Marg and Shirley, and many nieces and nephews.
Spending time with her great-great niece Ivy Hill was a source of great joy to her. Ona LeBlanc and Ann Bonnar were two nieces that Nede called “her angels” and they never left her side.
Nede is predeceased by her sister, Marie; brothers, John D., Benjamin, Alex and Franklin; brothers-in-law, Bob, Ron and Harry, and sisters-in-law, Nancy and Sarah.
Nede was a dear friend to all. A great baker. She really enjoyed scratch tickets, card games, bingo, doing puzzles and reading. She never stopped praying right up until her final breath.
There will be no visitation by her request. Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, December 7, 2017 at St. Joseph’s Church in Bras d’Or, officiated by Father Peter McLeod with assistance from Father Jake Andrea. Online condolences can be forwarded to the family by visiting www.fillmoreandwhitman.com.
Thank you to Dr. Mark Knott and Dr Mitchell McKeough and the 5th floor nurses at the Northside General for all of your care and compassion.
