Vida Mae Anthony, 87, formerly of Lingan Road, Sydney, passed away peacefully, with family at her side, on Saturday, June 1, 2013, at The Magnolia, Enfield.
Born Nov. 2, 1925, in Sydney, she was a daughter of the late Horatio and Margaret (Cuff) Champion. Vida loved traveling the back roads of Cape Breton, fishing with Edmund, the love of her life or visiting her family across Canada. When she was at home, you could find her in the kitchen cooking, sewing or playing cards with her many, many friends. Her heart and home were always open. May her journey to her new life be as rich and beautiful as the quilts she left behind for her loved ones.
