Age 92 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, in Dartmouth General Hospital on Aug. 1, 2008, with her loving family by her side. Born in West Bay, N.L., on May 19, 1916, she was a daughter of the late Jean and Annie (Jesso) LeRoy. When she was only three months old the family moved to North Sydney where she resided until 1989, when she moved to Lower Sackville to live with her daughter Agnes and her family. In 2005 she went to live with her son Michael and his family in Dartmouth, where she resided until her death. Her greatest joy in life was her family, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved doing crossword puzzles, watching game shows and playing cards. She could beat the pants off anyone in the room while watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. She was a very loving, caring person and during her years living in North Sydney, many a foreign sailor received an invite to the Power household for a cup of tea and a hot meal by her husband Bill and herself. She is survived by her sister, Stella (Baker), North Sydney; daughter, Agnes (Murray) Slaunwhite, South Rawdon; sons, Michael (Gail), Dartmouth, Bill (Heather), Annapolis Royal, Kevin (Penny), Boutilier’s Point; grandchildren, Lori, Erin, Jason, Amanda, Heidi, Bucky, Maegan, Alexander; great-grandchildren, Brandon, Zack, Katie, Xavier and Libby.
