It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Mamie Joe on Oct. 15, 2011, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.

Mamie was a member of St. Vincent de Paul Society, KOC, St. Theresa’s Choir, CWL (shows and concerts), the Pensioners Club, and was an active member of the Liberal Party. Some of the things Mamie enjoyed were road trips with the VAN crowd, playing cards with anyone and singing, but her most favourite thing of all was cooking spaghetti dinners for all of her children and grandchildren. Mamie will be remembered for the kindness that she showed to all.
