We, the family of Arlene (Devoe) Gordon, regret to announce her passing on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010, at St. Vincent Hospital, Ottawa, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Sydney Mines, she was the daughter of the late Charles Devoe and Florence (McCormick) Devoe-Ross.
Arlene was a very kind, understanding, hard-working woman who never gave up on anyone or anything. She will be forever missed by many friends and relatives in the Cape Breton area, although she lived in Ontario most of her adult life. Arlene will never be forgotten.
She is survived by her loving sons, David and Darryl Gordon, both living in Ottawa. She is also survived by her sister, Debra, Cape Breton; sister, Arthena, brother, Maurice, both in Dartmouth, and brother, Michael (Irene), Thunder Bay.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Michael Gordon, her brothers, Raymond and Richard Devoe and her sister, Dolena Devoe.
Donations in Arlene’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Words of comfort may be sent to the family at jmjobesfuneralhome@ns.aliantzinc.ca.
