FITZPATRICK, VIOLET
1947-2020
It is with broken hearts that the family of the late VIOLET FITZPATRICK of St. Lawrence announces her passing. Violet Margaret passed away peacefully on February 21, 2020 at the US Memorial Hospital in St. Lawrence, Newfoundland and Labrador. With great sadness, Violet leaves behind her beloved and cherished husband of 53 years Gerald, and her four dearly loved children Mark (Donna) , Lori (Jamie), Janis, and Paul. Also, missing their beautiful 'Nanny' is Violet's six grandchildren; Alexandra and Abagail, Ryan and Kiera, Declan, and Hailey. All of whom she was so very proud of and loved so very much. Violet will be dearly missed by her best friend and confidant, her Auntie Margaret Pike. Also missing Violet desperately is her dedicated and sweet pup, Beau. Violet was predeceased by her loving parents Levi and Mildred Pike, and her adored brother Perry. Violet leaves to mourn her eight sisters; Maxine, Marlene and Diane, Connie , Donna, Debbie, Cate, and Valerie , along with her brother Levi, and their families. Violet will be missed by many extended family and friends in Newfoundland, throughout Canada, and in neighbouring countries. So many lives were touched by her special presence. Violet's journey on this planet was heartfelt and was lead by her passion to 'give'. Violet understood, more than most, that giving is how love can uplift another's spirits. Her acts, whether a generous package to be unwrapped, a homemade jar of jam or baking for a neighbour, or an envelope of tithing and charity were always presented with such love. Violet gifted many by her stoic words and company and was always lead by bravery and courage, along with her quiet loyalty. Violet modestly gave to those she loved and she quietly gave to those in need , both in her community and in countries afar. Violet's life was a humble example of charity. That of which the planet requires to sustain the beauty of humanity. She always gave without expectation, knowing a small gesture is amplified by the intent of love. Violet's enormous heart along with her stunning beauty, of which she was so unaware, was what captured and held the heart of her sweet partner in life, Gerald. Their marriage held a legacy of much laughter and of commitment, through all of the good times... and the challenging ones too. Gerald carried her in so many moments of overwhelming joy and in life's heartache. And she carried him right back. Violet gave to others her whole life. Gerald, while having many moments of encouragement and some moments of recommended balance, knew that others needed Vi's gestures of confidence, love and compassion. He trusted her path. Their communion of love was a sweet balance of unequivocal and intimate admiration. This is....love. The kind of love that entangles it's self on one side of a big bed late every evening, and holds on tightly until morning. The kind of love that carries us through the joys and hardships of the day ahead. The kind of love that is quietly supernatural.....and beautiful. Gerald once said of Violet " ...her love so big for so many, and so powerful, that she had to keep in the bottom of her stomach in fear that it would travel to her heart and be too much..." He was correct of course. Her soft heart could not hold all she had to give to this world and to the people around her. Violet and Gerald's shared dedication and love for their children was what held priority. Together their love knew no bounds, and they celebrated every accomplishment and were a support in every challenge of their children. Violet was able to witness the evolution of her love~ now present in her beautiful grandchildren. She will rest peacefully knowing that her love was that which cultivated such compassionate hearts. Violet loved animals and nature, especially birds. She loved wild flowers and spent time in admiration of the tree that stood alone. Violet loved to read. Her adamant and passionate commitment to literature was a reflection of her adventurous spirit, and her desire to know more about the world and the people outside of her door. This commitment meant that her children were always read a bedtime story. Violet's grandchildren were full benefactors of such curiosity and passion , as they also love to read and to learn about new people and places. All of Violet's six grandchildren have bright futures ahead of them, and this was of significant pride to her. Later, upon her diagnosis of terminal cancer, this would be her greatest heartache as she would not live long enough to see them fulfill their dreams. Driven by her curiosity of history and that of her own family, Violet loved to explore and her examine her heritage and genealogy as a hobby. Violet championed so many causes and supported many important values; from action and compassion in poverty awareness, human rights advocacy in her workplace and otherwise, to animal rights and protection. Violet lead committees and volunteered for activities that supported her children and many others benefitted from her dedication. She always loved sports and championed its benefits. Violet would always support a special cause that was of importance to others. That Violet was able to 'give' to others will have been enough for her. However her legacy of caring and of love will be carried forward by many of those who knew her. Violet would say to you that is was so nice to have met you. She might tell you to be inspired by love~ the kind that sits a little lower than your heart. The love found in your tummy....the kind you might be afraid of because of its incredible force. She might advise you to let that special love shine in small increments of your day, by way of acts that enhance the lives of others...thus your own. Violet will be so missed. Everyday A Service of Celebration and Thanksgiving for the life of Violet Margaret Fitzpatrick will take place on Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. from St. Matthews Anglican Church, St. Lawrence. Inurnment to take place at a later date. Violet's family extends gratitude and a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and all medical staff at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre and at the US Memorial Hospital in St. Lawrence for your support and care of Violet. In lieu of flowers donations can be made, and are gratefully accepted, in Violet's honour to primates World Relief Development Fund c/o St. Matthew's Anglican Church, St. Lawrence, NL.

It is with broken hearts that the family of the late KATHLEEN GORMAN of Grand Bank announces her passing. Kathleen passed away at the Blue Crest Home in Grand Bank on February 26, 2020, at the age of 78. Born in Noel, she was the daughter of the late Enslie and Margaret (Hamilton) of Noel, Nova Scotia. Kathleen was a loving mother and, like her mother before her, enjoyed hosting large family gatherings centered around delicious meals. Her children fondly remember weekly roast pork dinners with crackling, gravy and apple sauce. As she served the oven-warmed plates, she rarely forgot to warn "Be careful, that plate is hot." Kathleen also followed her mother's footsteps into teaching. She was a graduate of Nova Scotia Teachers College and earned a Masters in Education at Acadia University. During her career, she taught in Digby, on Tancook Island, at Hants West Rural High School and Uniacke District School. She remained an active member of the Retired Teachers' Organization for many years. While her children were young she lived in and around Windsor including Garlands Crossing and Three Mile Plains. For a time she farmed in West Brooklyn where she was fond of telling her children "There's 50 acres out there. Get out and enjoy it." She was active in the Liberal party supporting several successful campaigns while assisting the campaign manager and providing sage advice. In later life she moved to Bridgewater, where her daughter Jennifer followed as did her mother. She enjoyed sewing, quilting and other needle arts. In retirement, she discovered a love for rug hooking and continued her passion for teaching in that medium. She was a true artist dying her own wool and creating her own patterns. She was especially renowned and still remembered for her method of colour planning. Her work was sold as far afield as the United Kingdom. She was a long-standing member of the Rug Hooking Guild. She had recently organized a beautiful piece depicting the town of Grand Bank, NL where she lived the past 10 years. The 16' x 12' rug consists of individual squares hooked by local residents sewn together and now hangs in the town's United Church. She is pre-deceased by her husband, Henry Severance, daughter, Jennifer Allen-Hart and son, Charles Jeffrey. Kathleen is survived by brother, Tom Gorman (Kay), AB, daughter, Jacqueline Riley-Gorman, NS; son, Jonathan Riley, NS; Julian Riley (Holly), AB, granddaughter, Kate Gorman, NS, whom Kathleen raised after Jennifer's death and grandchildren Shawna, Tatania, Talia, Matthew, Gerald, Bethannie, Jonathan, Justin, Stephen, Maria, James, Benjamin and Andrew and many great grandchildren and niece Jocelyn and nephew Jason. As per Kathleen's wishes, cremation has taken place. She was a vibrant person and it was her wish that her family would join in a celebration of life which will be held at a later date. Donations in memory can be made to the Bridgewater United Church of Bridgewater NS, where Kathleen enjoyed a welcoming community and faithfully attended weekly Bible studies.

PAUL, Ivan James
It is with great sadness the family announce the sudden passing of Ivan James Paul on February 10 while vacationing with his wife, Jane and some friends in St. Thomas in the U. S. Virgin Islands.
Leaving to mourn his loving and precious wife Jane Ahier of 15 years; son Stephen and granddaughter Filippa of Denmark, stepson Raymond Stapleton of Fort McMurray, AB, step-daughter Jennier Neil of Kelligrews, sisters Eva Inkpen of Burin, Evelyn Clark of Smith Falls, ON, card buddies Russ & Bob and a large circle of nephews, nieces and a large circle of friends.
He was predeceased by his loving parents Heber & Phoebe Paul, sisters Malazine & Meta.
Ivan left Burin for Churchill Falls after completing an electrician course at Burin District Vocational School. From there he migrated to Ontario and went to work for Ontario Hydro from where he retired back to his hometown in 2004.
One of the closest places to Ivan's heart was Grande Meadows Golf Course where he became a member, and he became a member, and a friend to all who met him at the golf course. Ivan was a person who never complained about anything and always had a smile for you as well as a kind word. Ivan treated everybody the same and he was always appreciative to play a round with anyone.
Many people would use an illness such as Parkinson's as a crutch or an excuse but not Ivan. He took it in stride and continued to compete as he always did. He would talk about Parkinson's and answer any questions that you asked. I remember him telling me about the time about 10 years ago when he was going to Germany to try out the stem cell transplant treatment. When it didn't work out for him he just soldiered on - he didn't complain or feel dejected. He was the same old Ivan.
I remember coming home from Ontario a few years ago after he had his deep brain stimulation treatment in Toronto. The first day I met him he told me all about his treatment and showed me where they had done the surgery as well as how it worked. He was excited that the treatment worked so that he was able to cut back on many of the medications he had to take.
Ivan continued to golf day after day right up until the end of this past golf season. For the first time this past year he took a golf cart which helped him still be a little more energetic so that he could complete 18 holes - Ivan wasn't fond of doing just 9 holes. One of Ivan's many golf buddies at Grande Meadows, Eric Ayers say, "There was no golfer that I would rather golf with than Ivan Paul!" That thought was held by many golfers at Grande Meadows.
Throughout the years Ivan participated in many tournaments at Grande Meadows including 7 GM Invitational's. He competed in that tournament for the first time in 2006. One of Ivan's favorite events at Grande Meadows was Men's Night participation. Every Thursday evening that he could make it he was there. At the 2010 Men's Finale Ivan was voted the winner of the Norm Croucher sportsmanship award named in honor of Norm who had passed away earlier that year. He continued to be that very same sportsman until he last played at Grande Meadows.
A Celebration of his life will take place at a later date.
In his memory donations may be made to the SPCA Burin.
