Dianne Barrington
Lieu de naissance : Sydney
Date de décès : 15 novembre 2018
We, the family, regret to announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Flo Dianne Barrington on Thursday, November 15, 2018.
Born in Sydney, she was the daughter of the late Edna (Pushie) and Walter Mortimer.
Dianne started her 30-year teaching career as a music teacher and eventually settled into the classroom, teaching grade four at Ashby Elementary. She loved each and every one of her students and was labelled a “favourite teacher” by all of them.
Dianne is survived by her husband of 51 years, Edward; son, Derek (Cindy Marie Meade), Sydney; daughter, Sarah, Halifax; granddaughter, Jessica Gillis, North Sydney; grandson, Tristan Clarke, Glace Bay; sister, Jane Williams (Ada Smith), Halifax and several nieces and nephews.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the dedicated staff of Buchanan Memorial Hospital and Highland Manor in Neil’s Harbour, as well as the exceptional service provided by the Home Care Staff North of Smokey.
Memorials may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, Palliative Care at Buchanan Memorial Hospital or the North of Smokey Food Bank.
As per Dianne’s wishes, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place and a committal service for family and friends will take place at a later date.
Words of comfort can be sent to the family at www.sydneymemorialchapel.ca or e-mail sydneymemorialchapel@ns.sympatico.ca.
