NEW GLASGOW – Louise Scott Dewar, passed away peacefully at Valley View Villa on April 2, 2013 at age 93.
Born in New Glasgow in 1919, Louise was a daughter of Scott and Myrtle (MacKenzie) Copeland.
Before her retirement, Louise was a receptionist at West Side Medical for many years. She was a member of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, “The Kirk”, and the church guild. Louise had a wonderful sense of humour and believed in making the best of whatever life threw her way; she loved life and enjoyed being with her family and friends. She was foremost a loving mother and grandmother.
She will be missed very much by her son, Alexander “Sandy” (Donna Lalonde), Dartmouth; and her daughter, Shelley Hudson (Rob), Ottawa. She is also survived by her sister, Isabel Copeland, Riverton; her grandson, Alexander Dewar, Dartmouth; and her nephew John Faibisy, Virginia.
She was predeceased by her husband Alex in 1970 and a brother Norman.
The family wishes to acknowledge the wonderful care that Louise received at Valley View Villa and also extends a special thanks to Lorraine Moore, who made many long days a little brighter.
A celebration of Louise's life will take place this summer.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Arrangements are under the direction of the R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New Glasgow.
