It is with profound sadness that we, the family, regret to announce the peaceful passing of our beloved sister, Heather Cavell (Lewis) Poulain at the age of 65. Heather passed away on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016, after a brief but very courageous battle with cancer on the An Cala unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, with her family by her side.
Born in Sydney, Heather was the eldest daughter of the late Allister and Effie (MacDougall) Lewis.
Heather was employed with the Cove Guest Home in Sydney; she took pride in her work and thoroughly enjoyed visiting and spending time with each resident. Heather formed many friendships throughout her life which was evident throughout her illness as her room quite often overflowed with visitors.
Heather was predeceased by her parents and her brother, George. She is survived by her companion, Bernie Farrell; her sisters, Bonnie Holland (John), Coxheath, Kimberly MacDonald (John),Sydney; brothers, Gary (Karen), Howie Center and Donnie, Oshawa Ont. Heather was a special aunt to five nephews, two nieces and various great nieces and nephews. She took great pleasure in the company of her two fur babies, “Baby girl” and “Tigger”. She was also fortunate to share the friendship of, Joan MacPhee and Margaret MacIntyre, her card game buddies.
Heather requested that any donations in her memory be made to the Cape Breton branch of the SPCA as well as the An Cala unit of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
