Margaret "Babs" Blois RN

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the death of Margaret “Babs” Blois RN. She died in her sleep in the early hours of Wednesday, May 14th, 2014 at the age of 69. Babs was born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland on May 9th, 1945. She was the fourth Child of Captain Archie and Margaret Mackinnon.
When Babs finished school in Corner Brook she completed her education at Edgehill in Windsor, Nova Scotia. Babs then attended the General Hospital of nursing in St. John’s, Newfoundland. After graduating she worked as a nurse and taught at the Corner Brook Nursing School. Well known for her sense of humour and love of life there was always a good feeling in the air when Babs was around. Babs and Don Blois married in 1976 in St. John’s, Newfoundland and later moved to Nova Scotia. She worked at the Abbie Lane Hospital involved in psychiatry in a position she loved. Unfortunately her life was affected with reparatory and health problems affecting the immune system having worked in a building known as the “bad building syndrome”. Babs and Don loved boating and as Don had his pilot’s licence Babs took flying lessons. Babs was predeceased by her parents and her brother John. She leaves family and friends with memories of a selfless, fun filled person who was always looking to help others before herself. She worked tirelessly for the St. Margaret’s Bay and Area Association for the Community Living to provide weekly programs and outings for the mentally challenged.
