BRENTON Donna Elaine
Aug. 26, 1956 - Jan. 28, 2020

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Donna Elaine Brenton, on January 28, 2020 at the age of 63. Left with loving memories are her husband, Paul Greene, her sister and brother-in- law Kathleen Brenton and Randy Martin; her brothers and sisters-in- law David and Anne; Gary and Barbara Ann; Kevin and Bernice; Robert and Violet; Gerry and Leona; and sister-in-law Patricia Greene. Also leaving to mourn are her eleven nieces and nephews; their spouses and children; plus a large circle of loving friends. Donna was well known in the sports community in St. John's. She was an all-star basketball player for Memorial University and the city league of St. John's. Her contribution to basketball in this province was recognized in 2015 when she was inducted to the NL Basketball Hall of Fame. Donna was also recognized as one of the premier Women's Golfers in Newfoundland. She won many tournaments in her 30 plus years as a member of Bally Haly and she was the proud winner of the Club Championship in 2001. Donna also proudly represented Newfoundland on the Provincial Ladies Amateur Team at the National Ladies Amateur Tournament in 1998. Donna was an avid curler and played many sports throughout her life. Donna was also known as a great contributor to Bally Haly in her volunteer efforts in many club tournaments, especially for her role in the annual Women's Invitational Golf Tournament. Perhaps the greatest contribution to sport in Newfoundland and Labrador comes as a result of her 30 years as Physical Education Teacher at Prince of Wales Collegiate. Donna aspired to develop a love of sport in all of her students and to encourage them to be the best athlete they could be. She coached and mentored many elite athletes in her time, but she was equally as proud of those students who grew to love an active and healthy lifestyle from their classes with her. Donna will always be remembered for her gentle spirit, her kindness to and encouragement of others, and her love of family and friends. If there is a golf course in heaven, be expecting her and expect her to teach you a thing or two. The family would like to thank Dr. Patti Power and the team of doctors and oncology staff; especially Cathy Cahill, oncology nurse, for always being there when needed. Family will receive visitors at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Thursday, January 30 from 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held from St. Teresa's Parish on Friday, January 31 at 9:30 a.m. Flowers gratefully accepted or donations may be made in Donna's memory to the "In This Together" campaign at the H. Bliss Murphy Centre. To send a message of condolence, please visit www.carnells.com
In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you build a place, No one will ever fill.

He was involved in the science fairs movement provincially and nationally and received several commendations for his efforts. He served on numerous local and national science education committees.

CORNICK Mollie I. (Crocker)
At the age of 86, peacefully passed away on January 2nd, 2020 at the Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion Long Term Care Centre, St. John's, Newfoundland. Randolph and Susan Crocker were blessed with Mollie's birth on December 20th, 1933. Mollie shared in the love and joy of a home with four brothers, Bill, Arthur (Rance), Randy, Berkley and three wonderful sisters Alma, Olga and Florence. Mollie was born and raised in St. John's, NL and after completing school enter the working world. It was during those early years of adulthood, she met the love of her life, Walter Cornick. Their years together brought much joy, as they were blessed with three wonderful children - Trudy, Darlene and Andrea. Walter and Mollie loved their three princesses. Sadly, Walter struggled with illness for many years and predeceased Mollie on July 16th, 1970. While Mollie mourned the loss of her true and only love, she spent her remaining years ensuring life would be filled with every blessing she could offer her three little girls. Mollie was a very resourceful woman spending many years teaching children in Kindergarten, Early Childhood Education Centres and later she opened a small daycare service in her home, filling her days with what mattered most to her - loving children and enjoying their smiling faces. She also enjoyed rooming university students, who to this day speak of the homecooked meals and tender care Mollie extended to them every day. Mollie loved to share her gift of hospitality, of fine cooking and did so for the majority of her life. Anyone who came to Mollie's home knew the pleasure of her company and the delight of her cooking. Of course, at family gatherings (Christmas being her favorite time of year), no meal would be complete without fun and laughter of playing games, particularly a good, rousing game of Rook. It went without saying, Mollie's competitiveness was on par with her spirit of hospitality. She always found very creative ways to ensure she was on the winning side, all with great merriment. Mollie enjoyed a great laugh, not only did she appreciate a good prank played on someone (her), but also enjoyed being a little bit of a jokester. Mollie, above all, was a woman of deep faith, who could see the beauty of God in every aspect of life. She particularly enjoyed spending time tending to her flowers and grooming her gardens. As she would plant, anticipating the burgeoning of color, you could hear her singing "O Lord, my God when I in awesome wonder consider all the world thy hands have made…." Mollie's faith found expression, first of all, in her home as she was a true example of Christian living. She continued to live out her faith through Sunday School ministry, worship at church, Songsters, Cantata's, and in lively Biblical debates! Mollie will be forever cherished and leaves to mourn her three children Trudy, Darlene (James) and Andrea (Harry), her three brothers Arthur (Ruby), Randy (Eileen) and Berkley (Judy) and their families. She is predeceased by her brother Bill (Joyce) and sisters Alma (Charles), Olga (Harold), Florence (Walter). Her love and encouraging words will be deeply missed by her grandchildren (Julia, Adam, Morgan, Jamelia and Ryan) and by her many cherished nieces and nephews. Mollie will also be missed by her many friends and caregivers. The family truly acknowledges the love and tender care provided by the Staff and Nurses of the Veterans Pavilion Long Term Care Centre in St. John's, Newfoundland. Visitation for Mollie will be at Carnell's Funeral Home - 329 Freshwater Road, St. John's on Monday, January 6th, 2020 - 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The Service and Celebration of her Life will be held at the Salvation Army Citadel, 20 Adam's Avenue at 2:00 pm Tuesday, January 7th, 2020. All who have been touched by Mollie's life are welcome to join the family for the service.

CROSBIE Hon. Dr. John C., P.C., O.C., O.N.L., Q.C.
John C. Crosbie
passed away on January 10, 2020, in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, surrounded by family and friends, days from his 89th birthday. One of the province's and Canada's most notable, stalwart and admired political figures, he enjoyed a remarkable career in public life, serving in municipal government, the Newfoundland House of Assembly, the House of Commons and as Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. He married the love of his life Jane Ellen Audrey Furneaux on September 8, 1952. Together they were a formidable team in every endeavor they undertook. They had three children, Chesley, Michael and Beth.
John Carnell Crosbie was born in St. John's on January 30, 1931, to a prominent business and political family. He was the son of Chesley A. Crosbie, the head of the Crosbie mercantile group and leader of the Economic Union Party, which favoured free trade with the United States. His grandfather was Sir John Chalker Crosbie, a cabinet minister and caretaker prime minister in pre-Confederation Newfoundland. He attended St. Andrews College, Queen's University, where he was awarded the Gold Medal in Political Science, and Dalhousie University, graduating in 1956 as the University Medalist in Law. He was also awarded the Viscount Bennett Scholarship by the Canadian Bar Association, as the year's outstanding law student. He moved on to postgraduate studies at the University of London and London School of Economics, and was called to the Bar in 1957, practicing law in St. John's before and after political life. At the age of 34, his first elected position was to municipal government, where he served briefly in 1965 as deputy mayor of St. John's. He moved to the Newfoundland House of Assembly a year later. As a provincial Liberal cabinet minister under Premier Joey Smallwood, he railed against the practices and policies of the government. In this well-documented battle, he returned from lunch one day to find that Smallwood had moved his desk across the floor of the House. He joined forces with the Progressive Conservatives to defeat the government and served in the cabinet of Premier Frank Moores as Minister of Finance, President of Treasury Board, Minister of Economic Development, Minister of Fisheries, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Minister of Mines and Energy, and Government House Leader. In 1976, he was elected as the Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for St. John's West. He served as Minister of Finance in the eight-month Joe Clark government, which he memorialized as "long enough to conceive but not to deliver." In the government of Brian Mulroney, he was Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, where, among many accomplishments, he ended discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the RCMP, the military and throughout the public service. He also served as Minister of Transport and Minister for International Trade, responsible for the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement. His last official responsibilities before retiring from federal politics in 1993 included the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Fisheries and Oceans. As Fisheries Minister - which he described as his toughest job in three decades in politics - he faced the unenviable task for a son of Newfoundland of imposing the Northern Cod moratorium. Having executed this with courage and grit, many believe no other politician of the day could have successfully delivered the substantive Northern Cod Adjustment and Recovery Program, "The Package", to assist fishers, plant workers and their communities. He was an architect and signatory of the pivotal Atlantic Accord, which established joint management and guaranteed that Newfoundland and Labrador would be the principal beneficiary of its offshore oil and gas development. He was instrumental in securing an essential federal equity share in the Hibernia project, which fostered the province's offshore oil and gas industry. He believed that thinking on your feet was essential in the House. He was good at it and never failed to land a well-placed barb. On being heckled that he had a foot in his mouth, his quick quip -"I'd rather have a foot in my mouth than a forked tongue" - was often quoted.
An independent spirit, a passionate nation-builder, an orator of biting wit and charm, he was a tireless fighter for his beloved province and country. He relished the cut and thrust of politics, not for sport but for the people, whose best interests he unfailingly embraced as his own. On the wharf or around a negotiating table, he listened, he heard and he delivered. After retiring from federal politics, he served for 14 years as the hard-working Chancellor of Memorial University. He also worked as legal counsel and director of several institutions, community organizations and private companies.
From 2008 to 2013, he represented Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II as the 12th Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. Together with Jane, he raised the bar for outstanding service in the role. Among his honours were Chancellor of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador; Honorary Chief of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary; Honorary Colonel of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment; Officer of the Order of Canada; Queen's Counsel; Member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada; and Knight of Justice of the Order of St. John. He also held many honorary Doctor of Laws degrees. His 1997 autobiography No Holds Barred: My Life in Politics candidly recounts his long career in the witty and irreverent language for which he is known. In it he wrote: "I'd like to be remembered for being an independent person who took independent positions…I made the attempt to achieve what I thought was the right position for the country and for the province."
He leaves his beloved wife, lifelong partner and best friend of 68 years, Jane; his children Chesley (Lois), Michael (Lynn) and Beth; his grandchildren Charlotte, Catherine (John), Rachel, Jane (Stephen), Victoria (Alex), Mary (Matthew), Megan, Amanda and John; his great-grandchildren Olivia and Charles; as well as a large extended family and vast circle of friends and colleagues.
No politician in our system of government can make a difference without the work of an army of smart and devoted aides and the support of loyal constituents. Mr. Crosbie knew that he was blessed with both. The family would like to warmly acknowledge and thank them. In his final years, Mr. Crosbie was wonderfully supported by the excellent staff at Kenny's Pond Retirement Community. Sincere thanks to you all on behalf of all the family. The family would be grateful for donations to the Home From The Sea Foundation, the Hon. John C. Crosbie Weldon Tradition Scholarship in Law at Dalhousie University and Memorial University, choosing "Scholarships & Fellowships" as the area of designation and specifying the "John and Jane Crosbie Scholarship" in the designation information. John C. Crosbie will be remembered for his indelible humour and quick tongue, his willingness to make controversial decisions and his fierce and effective advocacy on behalf of Newfoundland and Labrador. His is a legacy worth celebrating, a life worth emulating and a name indelibly etched in the history of the country and the province that he loved. Many have heard him relate how to spot the Newfoundlanders in heaven. "They're the ones who want to go home."
Cremation has taken place. Resting in state at the House of Assembly, Confederation Building, St. John's, NL from 12 noon to 6 pm on Tuesday, January 14th and Wednesday, January 15th. Funeral service will be held at the Anglican Cathedral, Church Hill on Thursday, January 16th, 2020 at 2:00 pm. Private interment to follow.

EISENHAUER Harry Milford
Saddened, but grateful for a life fully lived, the family of Harry Milford Eisenhauer announces his passing on Thursday, January 16, 2020 at his home. Born in Lunenburg, NS on September 18, 1938, he was the eldest son of the late Philip Maeder and Bertha Florence (née Croft) Eisenhauer of Mahone Bay, NS. Harry's life was filled with; service to his country, adventure, love and a delightful sense of humour, passion for his music; the Canadian Navy, and his hobbies of Philately and Numismatics; personal and professional international travel; and the ultimate privilege of playing music for a living. He truly enjoyed people and conversation, nature and an ocean view and appreciated history and geography as a result of his collecting hobbies. He particularly enjoyed a good meal, a quick pun, and revisiting favourite places. Harry was a loving and supportive person to his wife, family members and many friends and will be greatly missed. As a young boy, Harry developed a passion for playing the piano, and his teenage goal was to become a professional musician, although he had no idea how that would be accomplished. When his father was employed in Halifax, Harry then had the opportunity to join the Halifax City Youth Band as a trombone player. He had special memories of recess time at the school in Mahone Bay, where he would play the piano and accept requests from his classmates. Harry was a graduate of the Royal Canadian Navy School of Music (HMCS Naden) in 1958 and served as a professional musician in the Canadian Armed Forces Bands for 31 years playing both the clarinet and piano, retiring in 1987 with the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class. He served in the Naval Bands of HMCS Naden, HMCS Stadacona, HMCS Shearwater and HMCS Cornwallis; and while on detached duty with the Shearwater Band in the early 1960's, he served as a musician on the aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure and the supply ship HMCS Cape Scott. Upon integration of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968 Harry was posted to the Band of the Royal Canadian Regiment in London, ON; and served in that Band for 19 years until his retirement from CFB Gagetown. Harry was a prominent and internationally-known Numismatist, recognized as one of Canada's leading Paper Money collectors. Beginning in 1947 at the age of nine when his father introduced him to Philately, Harry became fascinated with the beautiful engravings on many of Canada's early stamps, in particular the 1929 fifty cent issue depicting the schooner Bluenose, which was built in his birthplace of Lunenburg. In 1968 this fascination quickly attracted him to the collecting of Canada's Paper Currency, and his involvement in the hobby brought him tremendous joy, excitement, and satisfaction throughout his life. He was extremely knowledgeable, and had a photographic memory for banknotes. He was consistently supportive of fellow collectors, always encouraging others to become involved, especially young people; and he was as excited for friends who acquired a special note, as he was when successful himself. He really relished learning the provenance of these notes, and sharing of this early Canadian history. When serving in London, ON in 1968, Harry joined the Canadian Numismatic Association, the Ontario Numismatic Association (Life Member #19) and the Canadian Paper Money Society (Life Member #16) in 1969, the Ingersoll, ON Coin Club (Life Member #4), and in 1973 he became a member of the International Bank Note Society. During his lifetime, Harry held a number of positions within various numismatic organizations: Founding President of Fredericton Numismatic Society (1971); Executive Director for Membership of Canadian Paper Money Society (1971); First Vice President of Canadian Paper Money Society (1971 to 1975); President of the Atlantic Provinces Numismatic Association (1972 to 1978) and Life Member #1; President of Canadian Paper Money Society (1975 to 1978) and the Atlantic Regional Director of Canadian Paper Money Society for a number of years. In recognition of his contributions to the hobby over the years, as an executive member, guest speaker, financial supporter, and researcher, Harry was honoured to receive a number of accolades: Dale Garland Award (1973) for the advancement of numismatics in Atlantic Canada; Honourary Member #1 of Ingersoll, ON Coin Club; Honourary Life Member # 2 of the Halifax Regional Coin Club (2004); and Honourary Life Member of Prince Edward Island Numismatic Association (2007). For many years Harry served on the Panel of Contributors, both for research and market pricing, to the Charlton Paper Money Catalogue, recognized as a leading reference in the field. Harry worked extremely hard to ensure that Canada's rare surviving banknotes would be recorded. Harry and his friend Bob Graham both invested thousands of hours over a period of thirty years to the research and compilation of these Registers, which have been donated for publication in the Canadian Paper Money Society Note Registry. While the process continues, several of Harry's registers have already been published in the First Edition 2009 and others were jointly developed with fellow numismatists. Harry's legacy with these registers of banknotes is that they will be available for present and future generations of collectors, researchers, historians and dealers. Harry was a Life Member of the Saint John Stamp Club; a founding patron of the J. Douglas Ferguson Foundation in 1971; a patron of the Farmers Bank of Rustico Museum of South Rustico, PEI; and a supporter of the Queens County Museum, Liverpool, NS. Harry was a Lutheran by faith, a member of Hiram Lodge #6, a member of Scottish Rites, and a member of Luxor Shriners. Harry was dearly loved by his devoted wife Linda (née Simpson) Eisenhauer of 39 years. He is also survived by son Harry (Gerene) of Bouctouche, NB; daughter Mary Ann Sutherland (John) and their children: Uriah, Arrel, Jayde, Selena, JaNiece and David of Hoschton, GA; brother Kerry (Belinda) of Big Lots, NS, sister Catherine (Alan) MacNeil of Dartmouth, NS, dear in-laws: Barbara Hurley, Rex Hurley (Amanda), Kimberley Hurley (Harley) and their families of Saint John, NB, Elwood (Jacqueline) and James Simpson of Halifax, NS, Wayne Simpson (Theresa) of Maple Ridge, BC, Johnathan Simpson of Vernon BC; as well as several great-nieces, great-nephews and extended family. In addition to his parents, Harry was predeceased by his sister, Winnifred and brother-in-law, Baxter Hurley and parents-in-law, Earl and Jennie Simpson, formerly of Steady Brook, NL. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the following people for treating Harry with such compassion and respect: Dr. Graham MacNeil, Shelly Martin, Dr. Sean Dolan, Karen Kearney RN, Dr. Terrance Comeau, Dr. Geoff Cook, Connie Dunnet OT, Marshall Bourque PT, Dr. Stephen Johnson, Chris Cassidy and Ann LeBlanc, RNs with Veteran's Affairs Canada, Wanda Richard, Tango Medical, Ann Spencer with Rehab Lawton's West and the entire staff of Lawton's Pharmacy McAllister Mall who all provided important services. A special note of appreciation to Bob Graham, Avis and Hugh Faulkner, Karen and Bernie Byers, Susan and Gerry Keith, Pat Alexander, Heather Johnston, Brandie Allen RN and Brenan's Staff, Courtney Lapp, Sharlene MacDonald and Holly Reid and our exceptional caregivers Jane Smith and Amanda Daigle, along with the immediate family. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Brenan's Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (634-7424). At Harry's request there will be no visitation or funeral service. Following cremation, a private interment will take place at Bayview (Heritage) Cemetery in Mahone Bay, NS at a later date. For those who wish to make a memorial tribute in Harry's memory, please consider a donation to the Bayview Cemetery Account c/o Town of Mahone Bay, PO Box 530, Mahone Bay, NS B0J 2E0 (902-624-8327).

Predeceased by her husband Cecil of 55 years; daughter and baby Kelly; granddaughter Lindsay Rae and step-granddaughter Sheri; parents: Maurice and Bride Keating; siblings: Pad, her twin; and his son Shawn, Eileen and Anthony (her crib buddy and great friend), and Jack; parents-in-law: Joe and Elsie Greene, in-laws: Joe (Jr.), Mary Joe their son Derrick and Gladys Greene, Mary Rose and Bill, Elsie O'Keefe; and her son Shawn, Rita and Bob Crowell, and Sylvia and Paul Kelly. Leaving heartbroken with many cherished and loving memories: her children: Barb, Bugs Adrian (Debbie), Maxine (Doug), Mock Maurice (Gail), Inch Donna (Bob), Carolyn (Jim), Porky Colleen (Gerard), Jackie, Michelle, Cec (Jr.), and Noel (Lisa); grandchildren: Kerry, Tara, Jaime, Sheldon, Todd, Robyn, Jason, Tim, Stephen, Colin, Devon, Evan, Joseph, Peter, Bridget, Sami, Geoff, Gerald, Marcus, Heidi, Noelle, Emilee, Ryan and step-granddaughter Donna; great-grandchildren: Blake, Jagger, Saidey, Hailey, Zach, Brooke, Alexis, MiKaela, Marley, Jake, Maria, Jayda, Stella, Nora, Richard, Mia, Vaida, Harry, Greta Rae, Peyton, Harriett Mae, and Cassidy Lynn; in-laws: Jenny and Beth Keating, Lol (Bill), Art O'Keefe, Marion (Tom), Frank, Pius (Yvonne), and Donna Leonard; as well as special friends Tom and Rosemary Bennett. Our mom was the best mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, sister-in-law, neighbour and friend, with a kind heart. She gave so much and did without herself and was so very proud of all her family. We all meant the world to her. "The more the merrier" for "jiggs" on Sunday. She called everyone to come and pass it on with two large boilers, stove and oven full of grub. She did the head count and was right in her glee. She started shopping for Christmas in January and "gifts for everyone," husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, in-laws, neighbours, friends and many presents for all. Giving and sharing is what made mom so happy. Her whole life growing up with very little and large family of her own, love and sharing was all she knew. The loved ones mom lost are in their glee now that she's on her way. "The party is on with lots of music and smiles." Mom was so afraid of hospitals that we, her children, had to beg and drag her to the ER when she was so sick. Afraid of having to stay was her fear so we promised her that she would take her last breath in her own home. We made that wish come true with respect and no regrets. Many thanks to mom's card, bingo and church buddies, neighbours and friends who helped her so much since Dad's and Kelly's passing. Mowing the lawn, plowing the driveway, bringing her to church, bingo and cards, coming to her home playing music, phone calls, so many kind things she was so grateful for. A special thank you to her daughter Michelle, who lived at home with her as her primary caregiver. To Dr. Kirby, Bev Morgan Vokey, doctors, nurses and staff at the Placentia Health Centre, as well as her homecare workers: Adele and Jennifer, thanks for your sincere kindness. Mom thought you were the best. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia. Visitation to take place on Wednesday from 5 p.m.to 9 p.m., and Thursday from 12 p.m.to 9.p.m. Mass of Christian Burial to take place 11 a.m. on Friday, January 31st at St. Jerome's Church, Long Harbour.

He only cared to provide for his family with focus on his grandchildren each of whom he was always so proud. A very special thank you is extended to Dr. Sandi Ennis, Nurse Julieanna, Wayne and the supportive staff of 3 North South and 2 North South, who cared for Dad at St. Pat's, where both Mom and Dad resided for the past two years - your kindness will never be forgotten.

Predeceased by husband Cyril; son George; parents Mary & Malcom Howell; sister Mae (Jack) Monk; brother Calvin (Joan) Howell; brother-in-law Thomas King; sister-in-law Olive Ryan and specials friends Albert Hillier and George Homer. Born in Freshwater Carbonear, she moved to St. John's at the age of 18 and went to work in George (who became our uncle George) Boulos's clothing store. She worked there until she got married and had children. She was a hardworking woman taking care of her husband and six kids. She decided to go back to work many years later, first at Woolco and then at Southcott Hall from where she retired at age 65. Mom's passion was cooking. It didn't matter if she was cooking up a scoff for 2 or 20 people, she was in her glory and her homemade bread was a hit with everyone. She loved having family and friends around and when supper was finished we would have our tea and remain around the table for our family yarn. But that would only last so long before she'd say "Get your money out" and the cards would begin until the wee hours of the morning. She also enjoyed a good game of bingo, although she didn't win very much, and she would say "I'm getting fed up with bingo" until the next week when she would go again. She also enjoyed knitting, reading and doing her crossword puzzles, and she was always game for a drive around the bay. She so enjoyed life! She had a heart of gold and would do what she could for anyone. Her eyes would shine when her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were around her. She also adored her little fur baby, Mayzee. She was dearly loved and will be sadly missed by her children Randy (Vicki), Joy Bennett (Barry deceased), Sharon (Brian Collins), Douglas (Suzanne Miller) and Winston; grandchildren Patricia, Sharon and Robert (Terri-Lynn) King; Stephanie (Scott Brumagin), Carisa and Melanie Collins; Michelle and Sarah King; and their mother Sheila King; Amanda (Roger Hobbs) and Stephen King, and their mother Donna King; Zander (Danielle Goldie); great-grandchildren Alicia, Mikaila and Justin Frizzell; Hannah and Ryan Castro, Brayden and Gracie King, Jason, Autumn and Bryah Brumagin; Alex, Landon and Joshua Hobbs; Evan and Calvin King. Also leaving to mourn brother-in-law Douglas (Roz) King; sister-in-law Doris King and special friends Bessie Crummell, Hannah Lewis and Molly Collins; as well as a large circle of family and friends.

MANSFIELD Patrick (Pat) Thomas
Passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 5th, 2020 at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital in St. John's at the age of 94. Those who knew Pat would remember his jokes, stories, and quick one-liners - "shake the hand that shook the world." He leaves behind his children Patrick (Frances), Michelle (Mike), Colette (Jeff), Gregory (predeceased)(Ellen) and Camille (Kim). Grandchildren Amanda, Manny, Grant, Mitchell, Ryan and Andrew will always remember adventures around the island with their Pop. Also, leaving to morn siblings Vince, Fred, Myles, Rose, Shirley, Ange and deceased Jim, Tom, John, Theresa, Helen, Loretta and Florence and a large circle of family and friends. Born April 10th, 1925 on Bell Island where he lived his whole life. The son of Jack Mansfield and Mary Flynn, and stepmother Bridget (nee Kent). As a young man on Bell Island, he met and married Evelyn Fitzgerald. He worked at many jobs throughout his career, most significantly as a projectionist at St. Pat's theatre and finally with the Town of Wabana. Hockey was a major part of the life of Pat Mansfield. Most people would remember him battling it out in the corners of the Bell Island arena, defending the net as a spirited defenceman. As an experienced hockey player, he later acted as coach with Albert Ash of the Farrells senior mens team. The community of Bell Island was the centre of Pat's world. Pat was a long serving member of the Wabana Boys and Girls Club, where he gave much of his time as a dedicated volunteer. Pat gave back to his community, such as serving as a respected member of the Wabana Volunteer Fire Department. He did not look for reward during his volunteer endeavors, rather he wanted to pay it forward to the community he dearly loved. In 2012, he was appreciated for his dedication to volunteerism when he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Sincere thanks to the health care team who cared for Pat at 6 west St. Clare's Mercy Hospital. Pat's remains will be returned to Bell Island where he will be laid to rest beside his loving wife, Evelyn. We will celebrate Pat's incredibly full life with friends and family at Pendergast Funeral Home on January 8th and 9th from 12:00-9:00 pm .

Remembering Dr. W. P. McCann with wonderful memories are Dr. Rosanne McCann's son Max Ruelokke and his wife Beatrice (Moore); her grandchildren (who called Phil their grandfather): Karl Ruelokke and his wife Kimberley MacLeod-Ruelokke, Ingrid Ruelokke and her husband Dr. Sean Murphy; great-grandchildren: Makenna and Danielle Ruelokke, Roan and Imogen Ruelokke-Murphy; sisters -in-law and brothers-in-law: Maude Welsh (Benjamin, deceased), Halifax, N.S., Ann King (Aubrey, deceased), Ethel Brown (James) and Frank Dolimount (Pearl), all of Grand Bank, NL., Kenneth Sellars of Kitchener, ON.; many nieces and nephews of the Dolimount family, neighbours on Prince Charles Place and Beatrice's relatives, the family of the late Clarence and Florence Moore, Clarke's Beach.
Phillip McCann was born on August 7, 1921, to Michael and Elizabeth (Phillips) McCann of Birkenhead, Wirral, UK . He was a veteran of World War II, having served in the Royal Air Force in Britain and India from 1941 until 1946. After earning a B.A. from the University of London, UK., he taught in secondary schools within London for seven years prior to being appointed Senior Lecturer in Education at Goldsmiths, University of London. Dr. McCann received his doctorate from Manchester University, UK. He was a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Dr. McCann came to Newfoundland in 1967 as an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education, Memorial University. Throughout his career, Dr. McCann wrote widely on the historical and social aspects of education in Britain and Newfoundland. His books included "The Educational Innovators", Vol 1, with W. A. C. Stewart (1967, reprinted in 2000); "Popular Education and Socialization in the Nineteenth Century" (1977, reprinted in Routledge Library Editions 2007); "Blackboards and Briefcases: Personal Stories by Newfoundland Teachers, Educators, and Administrators" (1982); "Schooling in a Fishing Society 1836-1986" (1994); and "Island in an Empire" (2016). He published numerous articles in academic journals and presented papers at education conferences in the U.S., Europe, Australia and China.
Dr. McCann was the driving force behind the exhibit of nine panels documenting the history of education in Newfoundland and Labrador which are on display in the main corridor, second floor of the G. A. Hickman Education Building at MUN. The McCann Centre in the Education Building was named for Drs. W. P. and Rosanne McCann in recognition of their significant contributions to the Faculty of Education. Lives well lived!
Dr. McCann's family wish to thank his family physician, Dr. Patrick O'Shea, who provided wonderful care and support to him, and guidance to Michelle and Ashley, his caregivers. Beatrice appreciates, and says a sincere thank you, to the very kind neighbors on Prince Charles Place and Toronto Street, especially Mrs. Marie Simms, and to Sharon Griffin, Phil Alcock and his friends for coming to her assistance and for the snow clearing during the blizzard and State of Emergency of January 2020, and to Paul and Doug Burt for the transportation from Prince Charles Place back to her home in CBS.
Phil was a fun, spirited and adventurous grandfather. Even in his mid-90's, his favourite day was one spent among the books with his wife Rosanne and his great-grandchildren. Being in Chapters with a Starbucks iced-coffee and stimulating conversation was a Saturday afternoon must! He thoroughly enjoyed picking out just the right books for his family, but did have some challenges with finding the best choices for his preteen great-granddaughters! He took the time to talk with people he encountered, and was genuinely interested in hearing their stories. He stressed the importance of giving back, and being charitable, especially to those in need. He stayed in the loop with trends and was eager to encourage any interests shown by the great-grandchildren, and kept up to date with their activities. However, he was a little sore when he lost a game of chess to Roan, his 8 year old great-grandson, just last year.
Phil followed Manchester United enthusiastically, and just days before his death reviewed the standings on his laptop, interested in their upcoming trades. Phil enriched our lives, supported our dreams, was an advocate for life-long learning, and we will miss him terribly.
Cremation has taken place, and interment will take place at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Family, colleagues and friends are invited to join Dr. McCann's family on Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 1:30 p.m., in the McCann Centre, E2030B on the second floor of the Education Building, Memorial University for a celebration of his life and accomplishments. Reception will follow. Parking will be available in Area 18, in front of the Queen Elizabeth II Library. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to The Gathering Place, St. John's, NL. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Moore's Funeral Home. Messages of condolence may be sent to ruelokke@nl.rogers.com

MCGRATH Paul Jude
1969 - 2020

Sadly and unbelievably, we announce the passing of Paul, our dear son, brother, father and friend---consumed by a devastating illness that took over his body, but never affected his trademark spirit. He takes with him the hearts of his loving family, Parents, Leo and Lorraine, St. John's; sister, Jennifer, St. John's; brother Ian, Halifax; daughter Emily, stepdaughter Ariana and their mother Anna in Ontario. He will be sadly missed by his aunts and uncles Helen Mitchell, Janet Crane, Lynn Norberg, Gloria & Wade Greeley, Karen Jardine, Bernice Jardine, and Don & Colleen Jardine, as well as a large number of cousins and other relatives and friends in Newfoundland and Ontario. Affectionately known as "Tugs" to his friends, Paul left St. John's after graduating from Gonzaga High School to attend Niagara College and begin a career in the hospitality industry. He thrived in his adoptive home, while proudly proclaiming his Newfoundland background. Genuine, compassionate and warm-hearted, his "salt of the earth" nature was personified by the pure enjoyment he reaped from time spent with family and friends, and accentuated by his hearty, infectious, distinctive laughter. Very much involved in sports growing up, he continued to participate in softball, basketball, and hockey rec leagues around Niagara and was always a popular member of a golf foursome. His laid-back approach to the game delighted in the beauty of the course and camaraderie of his playing partners, instead of the results, often choosing to not even keep score. And as all who knew him would attest, he was an avid fan of the Royal St. John's Regatta and always planned his trips home around the first Wednesday in August. Paul was a stalwart in his hospitality career, defying the common belief that a boss should not, or cannot be a friend with his staff. He was respected and loved by those he led during his tenures at Jack Astor's, McMaster University, St. Catharines G & C Club and, for the past 8 years, The Niagara Health System. The relationships and memories he made in those environments were very meaningful to him. The family extends boundless gratitude to Cheryl Coens. Her tireless and selflessness as his caregiver during this time has been the ultimate example of unconditional friendship, as she assisted in any and every way to provide as much help to Paul as possible. Her support will never be forgotten. Additionally, thank you to the outstanding staff at Aramark Healthcare, Niagara Health System, and St. Catharines Hospice for your care and many kindnesses. Cremation has taken place, and the family will announce a "Celebration of Paul's Life" in the future.

MCGRUER, Mary Josephine "Josie"
Published: July 28, 2021
January 8, 1931 - January 21, 2020
Josie McGruer
passed peacefully away with family at her side at home in Mono, Ontario on Tuesday, January 21, 2020. Josie was a devoted wife, mom, grammy, great grammy and friend. She has joined her husband, Alex McGruer II on the Eternal Shore and is deeply missed by Alex III (Cecilia Farewell), Daureen (Ron Murphy), Andrea (Rick Fitzgerald); grandchildren, Nora, Robin, Sandy, Ben, Sullivan, Heather, Ryan, Kate and Evan and great grandbabies; Carter and Boden and many friends. Josie was predeceased by brothers Charlie, John, James and Hugh and baby Anna. Josie and Alex came to Canada from Scotland in 1967 with their two children and quickly claimed Newfoundland as their heart's home and welcomed their third child. Josie was a long-time volunteer at the Hoyles-Escasoni Complex and was involved with her church and faith community. She found great joy in hosting and attending ecumenical bible studies and retreats. Indeed, her tea buns were a feature at these gatherings and were ever after known as 'Josie's Holy Buns.' Josie was an artist and seamstress. She was a tenacious defender of the marginalized and attributed her fearlessness to growing up with four brothers during war blitz days in Clydebank, Scotland. In her sixties Josie was faced with the loss of her sight. She gracefully surrendered her drivers license fearing she might hurt someone. She became an ambassador for the CNIB and found new ways to manage life and remain independent. Even in her later struggle with dementia her faith guided and strengthened her and those around her. Her gifts of hospitality tenacity, determination, faith, and grace will be remembered and cherished by those who loved her. Her mantra, "What's for ye won't get by ye," carries on with her family. Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at 9:30 am at St Pius X Church, Smithville Crescent, St John's. Interment to follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. In keeping with Covid protocols please inform us if you plan to attend, drmurphy3@sympatico.ca or call Daureen at 519-215-1280.

SPROUT, Mary Margaret (McDonald)
December 22, 1938 January 13, 2020

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Sprout on January 13, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. Margie was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Mae McDonald; parents-in-law, Loren and Beulah Sprout; sister, Regina Callahan and her husband Gary; brother, Percy McDonald; nephew, Paul Callahan; brother-in-law, Irvin Sprout and sister-in-law, Betty Sprout. She leaves to mourn her loving and devoted husband of 57 years, Bill Sprout; son, Gregory (Andrea Zani); daughter, Michelle Torre (Eric); beloved grandchildren, Zoe and Will Sprout and Ethan and Jenna Torre; brother, Jim McDonald (Ollie); sister, Geri and sister-in-law, Allison; brother-in-law, Don Sprout and sister-in-law, Jolece Sprout as well as many loving nieces, nephews and friends throughout Canada and the U.S.. Shortly after completing the Registered Nursing program at St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, Margie left Newfoundland and Labrador to pursue opportunities in the U.S.. While working as a nurse at Cottage Hospital in Galesburg, Illinois she met the love of her life, Bill Sprout and the two were married on Valentine's Day in 1962. They enjoyed 57 wonderful and fun filled years together on a journey that took them to Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. Of course, like most Newfoundlanders, Margie always took every opportunity to return to this beloved island with Bill who quickly developed a strong attachment to Newfoundland and its people as well. They loved to bring their children 'home' to spend time with relatives and friends and to experience the beauty and tranquility of this wonderful place. Margie was a sincere, kind, caring, gentle and gracious lady. She had a quiet dignity and a beautiful spirit. Her love for her family, her friends and especially her grandchildren was unconditional. Gatherings with Grandma and Grandpa were filled with love and laughter. We are heartbroken at losing our cherished wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, aunt, neighbor and friend. Margie was all of these and so much more, a true blessing from the true north, our dearest Newfoundlander. A funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25 at St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church, 5460 Mary Lake Road in Westport, Wisconsin with visitation 9:30-11:00 a.m. before the service.

While raising her five children, she also worked with the Campbell Medical Group and later ENT Consultants.

White Margaret "Margie" Mary
Margie White
past peaceful away at St. Luke's Home on the morning of January 6, 2020. A forty-one year resident of the West end of St. John's, Margie loved her neighbourhood, and her view of the South Side Hills, which she continued to enjoy while living at St. Luke's. Predeceased by her husband Len, parents Frank and Mary Dwyer (nee Kent), and brother Frank. She leaves to mourn her son Dominic (Stephanie), daughter Donna (Steve), and beloved grandchildren, Dylan, Zachary, Seth, and Sadie, brothers Vince, Jack (Eileen), Colin (Katie), sister Donna, best friend of 48 years, Liz Snook, and many close friends and family. Orphaned at an early age, Margie was a fighter with a strength and independence that was rare. Margie was equally gracious, possessing an amazing sense of humour, with an expressive face and smile that was an instant tell. A gifted communicator, she relished sharing stories and connecting people. Margie worked as a telephone operator for many years before leaving that role to raise her family. A devoted wife, mother, and friend, Margie understood the value of family and ensured everyone near her was made to feel like they belonged. She enjoyed sharing her love of sewing and baking with others. Her door was always open, and there was always an extra seat at her table. Cremation has already taken place. At her request there will be no service. A private visitation to celebrate her life with family will take place on Saturday, January 11th, 2020. Please see Dominic or Donna for details. In lieu of flowers people are encouraged to make donations to a charity of ones choice.

WHITE, Maureen
While it is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Mom, Maureen White (nee Collins) on Wednesday evening, January 15th, she constantly reminded us, with a smile on her face and joy in her heart, that when she died, we were to celebrate her life and not mourn her passing…..…. and so we will. She lived her life with tremendous love and conviction but knew, with her strong faith, that the time had come for her to leave this earth for her desired resting place, to join those she loved who went before her, in heaven. This was the guiding principal by which she lived her life and so, for her, this is not the end but the beginning and we are grateful that she is at peace. Family was her first love and for that reason, she always made sure that she carved out time for them, no matter what that meant! Nothing pleased her more than a big celebration with everyone at her home, which, of course, had to include music. More on this later. Birthday lunches with Nan were a highlight for the grandkids living in town and summer vacations at Nan's house were a must for the grandkids who lived out of town. Mom always had time for every person in her life and so there was always a crowd at her house but nothing was ever a "big deal". We take this time to remember someone who touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her relationships were plentiful. She was Mom, mother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, nanny, great-grandma and a wonderful friend to many. Her reach was so wide spread that she was also the "Nanny of Kidcorp" for many years, which her grandchildren didn't mind since they knew she had so much to give. While her first love was family, it was followed closely by music, which up to the moment of her death, continued to touch her heart. Anyone visiting her home would be met with at least 3 different music sources since she believed that you should enjoy music everywhere you go - whether cleaning upstairs, cooking on the main level or doing the laundry downstairs. Mom was into "mixing" long before it was a trend. She is remembered and will always be in the hearts of her children, Debbie, Beverley (Cameron Dewar) Trudy (George Dzuro), Roslyn (Gary Bennett), Elaine and Jackie; her sister, Joan Sparrow; her 24 grandchildren and their spouses, and her 15 great-grandchildren. She is now with those who predeceased her including her late husband, Jack White; her sons, Garry and Paul; her grandchildren, Jacklyn Bennett and Natasha White; her sister, Ruth; her brothers, Gus and Doug and a countless number of friends. We would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge with heartfelt thanks and appreciation our sister Jackie who was the prime caregiver and constant companion to Mom over her last years - Jackie's vigilance in attending to Mom's needs gave the rest of us much needed assurance that Mom was in good hands. To the end, Jackie was her cheerleader when Mom simply didn't think she had any more to give. Last but certainly not least, our thanks to Karen McGrath who assisted Mom with so many of her daily needs and provided backup to Jackie in Mom's final years and through that, gained a special place in her heart. On behalf of our Mom, we would like to thank Dr. Heather Woodland and Dr. Siobhan Kavanagh who made multiple house calls in Mom's final weeks and worked tirelessly to keep her as comfortable as possible to the end. She will be laid to rest at Caul's Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road. The family will receive visitors on Saturday, January 25, 2020 from 10 - 12 noon, 2 - 4 p.m and 7 - 9 p.m. To allow time for her family to come home to celebrate her passing to the next chapter of her life, her Funeral Mass will be Monday, January 27th at 9:30 a.m. from Pius X Church on Smithville Crescent. Flowers accepted or donations may be made to Bridges to Hope.
