MACDOUGALL, Yvonne Alice "Vonnie"

It is with very heavy hearts that we, the children, announce Mom’s sudden passing on November 18, 2021. Mom is finally at peace as she wanted. She was born in Westville, April 12, 1938 and was a daughter of Amanda (Casey) and Alfred White. Mom was the youngest of 16 children and is survived by her children, Michael, Colette (Jim) and Darren (Carol Ann) whom she loved dearly

and by whom she was loved immensely; as well as her grandchildren, Joshua, Meghan, Grace, Reilly and Gabriel, all of whom held a special place in her heart. She also has one surviving sibling, Joseph “Paddy” White of Truro. There are also a large number of nieces and nephews all of whom were special to her. For many years Mom worked at the Nova Scotia Teachers’ College from where she retired. She was very actively involved in Co-op Housing in Truro, from the time it was built in 1985 until she moved back to Westville 2004. She was an avid bingo player and enjoyed many card games and Yahtzee with the family, especially Gabriel. Upon her return to Westville, she made many friends and reconnected with old ones. We are very thankful to all the people who helped Mom in her final years. It gave us great peace knowing that she

was being watched over by Bernadette and her “guardian angel”, Janie. With special thanks to André, “the best landlord ever”. She was a devout

Catholic, even though she could not get to Mass anymore. She watched Mass everyday and was a big believer in that “everything happens for a reason” and “the Lord will look after me”. We guess she was right

as she is where she wanted to be with the rest of her family.

There will be no visitation as per Mom’s request. A funeral Mass to celebrate her life will be held in Holy Name Parish, Westville on Tuesday November 23rd at 2 p.m. Proof of Vaccinations and Id as well as masks are required. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Covenant House in Toronto for Homeless and Run Away Youth or a charity of your choice. www.eaglesfuneralhome.ca
