It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Marjorie Ann Wolfe. Marjorie passed away Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at Northumberland Hall in Amherst, NS.

Daughter of Donald and Eileen Mitchell, Marjorie was born March 16, 1945 and grew up in Pugwash and Williamsdale along with her brother Robert (Bob), and sister Barbara.

After meeting the love of her life, Ralph, she married and started her own family having three children, Donald (Donnie), Patricia (Patti) and Amy. Living in Amherst, then Nappan for almost 60 years, she made many friends in the community through 4H, being active in the church, and crafting.

After nursing school, Marjorie raised her children, then continued her career as a dedicated CNA at the Amherst Regional Hospital until her retirement. She was a longtime 4H leader and supporter, traveled uncountable weekends to cheer on Donnie as a hockey goalie and Patti and Amy at many horse shows. She always attended their various sporting events throughout the early years and spent summers at the cottage in Pugwash with her immediate and extended Mitchell family.

She enjoyed embroidery, sewing, scrap booking, many crafts, tole painting and art which she loved to share with family and friends. She loved to garden vegetables and flowers, making pickles and homemade jam, cooking and baking. A caring and compassionate lady, what gave her the most joy was caring for and spending time with her family.

Marjorie was able to travel with Ralph before and after retirement, spending most of the summer months at their trailer by the beach.

Marjorie was predeceased by her parents Donald and Eileen Mitchell and sister, Barbara Maxwell.

She will be sadly missed by her ever-caring husband Ralph, as well as son Donnie (Annette) Wolfe and daughters Patti (Greg) Hoeg and Amy (Rob) Rayworth; her grandchildren Jonathon (Sam) Wolfe, Kristen (Matt Gould) Wolfe, and Nick Wolfe; great grandchild Logan; her brother Bob (Ruth Ann) Mitchell, nieces Susan (Jamie) Pitt and Cathy (Matt) Creamer her brother-in-law Reade (Eva) Maxwell, nephews James (Darlene) Maxwell, John (Chrissy) Maxwell, Arnold Maxwell, niece Brenda (Mark) Carter; several great nieces and nephews; cousins and extended family and friends.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church St., Amherst, NS (902-667-8777). There will be no visitation or service. The family will be entrusted with a burial at a later date.

Special thanks to the nurses and extended staff who helped Marjorie these past several months while she was in the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, All Saints Hospital and Northumberland Hall, and all those special friends and visitors who took time to come see her.

Allison Watson died peacefully on July 18, 2025 at the age of 38.

She is survived by her partner of 18 years, Isaiah Jacques, parents Dave and Donna Watson, brother David Watson (Cindy). Predeceased by her sister Amy Watson.

Allison was gifted with creativity and curiosity. From writing, sewing and crafts, photography, and experiments in the kitchen, she took pleasure in these small things and turned whatever she touched into something beautiful…or hilarious. She had a passion for books, nature, and a soul for adventure that took her from exploring her backyard to countries abroad. An author, gardener, grand adventurer, daughter, sister, friend, partner, and cat mom to Skittles, she had the gift to see the humour in stressful situations while also thinking of others.

Allison tried many careers in her life, first as a Recreational Therapist for the Springhill Hospital, then as a Library Assistant at the Springhill and Mount Allison libraries, and lastly working with the Town of Amherst as Active Living Coordinator; Culture, Events and Marketing Coordinator and finally moving on to Community Health Navigator for Amherst and Cumberland County. Through all these roles she loved helping people, whether it was as tiny as recommending a good book or as important as attracting health care professionals.

Allison was born with cystic fibrosis and while it had a major impact on her life, she never let it define her or prevent her from doing the things she loved, be it kayaking down a river or biking across the country. In 2014 she was the recipient of a double lung transplant, which gave her a new appreciation on life, and allowed her to continue adventuring, creating, and fulfilling a long time goal of hiking Gros Morne mountain.

Nothing can truly describe the amazing person she was and if you were lucky to know her, you were truly blessed, Allison(Alley) was fiercely loved and her presence and light will be truly missed in this world.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 10, 2025 at 2:00pm at the Amherst Curling Club (45 Prince Arthur Street, Amherst).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Sharing of memories and condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the online memorial at www.jonesfamilyfuneralcentre.ca or through the Jones Family Funeral Centre page.
