MACIVER, Violet Francis
Little Narrows
1918-2006
The Cape Breton Post, October 10, 2006

It is with great sorrow, but with thanksgiving, that we announce the death of our mother and grandmother, Violet Francis MacIver, who died at Victoria County Memorial Hospital on Oct. 8, 2006 with her family at her side. Born in Harbour Grace, N.L. in 1918, she was the daughter of the late James Kenneth and Mary Grace (Budden) Francis. She came to Cape Breton with her family at an early age. She grew up in Glace Bay and later in Hazeldale, Victoria County. She worked in Little Narrows and the Sydney area for many years before returning to Hazeldale and marrying Jimmy (John E) MacIver and raising her family on the MacIver homestead in South Cove. A final move brought her to Little Narrows where she enjoyed life in the "old manse" for the last 38 years of her life.

She was predeceased by her husband, James Colin (Jimmy) in 1969; sisters, Blanch, Shirley, Lil, Betty, Clemantine, Rita, Gladas, and one brother, Dolland. She is survived by daughters, Doris (Ken) Boyd, Boisdale, Margaret (Rob), Martin, Hatchet Lake and sons, Rev. Colin, Winnipeg, David (Linda) Coxheath, and John (Linda), Little Narrows, and two sisters, Mable MacDonald and Claras Dean, both of Glace Bay. Also surviving are 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

She was a very resourceful person and a creative artist in cloth, thread and yarn. Her quilts and other handcrafts are legacies left to her family and friends. Avid reading took her on journeys over time and around the world, so boredom was unknown to her. She was a member of Little Narrows Presbyterian Church where she taught Sunday School, lead CGIT and was active in Womens Missionary Society and the Ladies Aid Society.

Visitation will be at the Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home in Whycocomagh today (Tuesday) from 2-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held at Little Narrows Presbyterian Church, Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 11 a.m, Rev. Ron Sharpe officiating. Burial in the church cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the CNIB, Victoria County Memorial Hospital, Little Narrows Presbyterian Church, or the charity of your choice. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com
