It is with sorrow, we, the family of Mima announce the passing of our sister and aunt. Mima passed away Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, at Seaview Manor Nursing Home in Glace Bay, where she had been a resident for 10 years.
Born in Glace Bay, she was the daughter of the late George William and Margaret Dolena (Smith) Roper.
She was a member of Chalmers United Church, and can best be described as a lady who was always in a hurry. Mima dedicated her life to her work, working 52 years for the Shore brothers at the Marketerias in New Aberdeen and Dominion.
Mima will be sadly missed by sisters, Jean Petrie, Vancouver, Lois Atkins, Scarborough; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Mima was predeceased by brothers, Gordon Douglas, Harold Alexander, Malcolm Ernest, Clarence, Donald Smith and sister, Irma Marie.
Visitation for Mima Roper will be held Tuesday evening 7-9 p.m. in V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. A funeral service officiated by Rev. Clayton Austin will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday in the funeral home chapel. Interment will be at Forest Haven Memorial Gardens, Sydney.
As an expression of sympathy for Mima, donations in her memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
