Lillian Geraldine (Jerry) (Hare) MacCoul, 72, Bible Hill passed away May 12, 2009 in Colchester Regional Hospital, Truro.
Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late William and Georgina Hare, Truro.
Jerry lived in Bible Hill for 51 years and was a well known member of her community.

As a 25-year member and past president of the Truro Farmer’s Market, she provided support for the community (as well as exceptional baking). As a mother and grandmother, Jerry always led by example. She was a loving, generous and compassionate person who will be very sadly missed by everyone who had the honor of knowing her, most especially her longtime friend Barb Gaudrault and her loving and devoted family.
