It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother (Vera Tutty)Hill on August 6, 2016 at the age of 100. Mom was born in Glace Bay September 19, 1915, the daughter of Mathius and Harriet (Hannam) Tutty. Mom is the last surviving member of her family. She is survived by her daughters Maureen (Len) Jackson, Sheila Calder, Janice MacCharles, Karen (Kevin) Minkoff, her son Gerald “Bobby” Hill (Sue), grandchildren Jeffrey, Glenda, Scott, Vanda, Cindy, Blair, Wanda, Wendy, Tanya, Christopher, Kenneth, Jennifer and Jessica; fourteen great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.
Mom had a long life and remained in her home until age 99. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, sewing and painting. She was a former member of the Cape Breton Ukulele Strummers.
Besides her husband George, she was predeceased by sisters Ella, Hilda and Dolena, brothers Gordon, Dick and Gerald, a sister in infancy, daughter Brenda, her sons-in-law John MacCharles and Clarence Calder.
Many thanks to Seaview Manor and Habrourstone, for their care of our mother. Special thanks to Dr. Susan MacLeod.
Following Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place under the direction of Forest Haven Memorial Gardens. There will be no visitation or service. A private internment will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cape Breton Hospital Foundation or a charity of one’s choice.
