Burke, Ann Whiteside N.S.
The Cape Breton Post, October 23, 2019 Wernesday

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our sister and aunt, Ann (Antle) Burke on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at the Cove Guest Home in Sydney. Born on June 3, 1940, she was the beloved daughter of Mary Louise Burke (D'Escousse) and William Antle (Turk's Cove, Newfoundland), Grand Lake Road, Sydney. In 1968, she married Leo Burke (River Bourgeois) who predeceased her in 2013. She and Leo moved from Sydney to Whiteside, Richmond County many years ago where she stood by Leo's side as his debilitating disease progressed.

She leaves to mourn her sister and brother-in-law, Mary Josephine (Doddy) and John MacLeod (Halifax); brother and sister-law, Harold Antle and Irene (MacNeil), (Sydney); sister-in-law, Maurina (McNabb) Antle (Sydney); and her brother-in-law, Georgie Bourque (River Bourgeois). She was predeceased by brothers, Bernie (2014) and Billy (2015); and sister-in-law, Patsy (MacLeod) Antle; in 2019.

She was a generous sister, aunt and friend. Her door was always open to everyone and there were always cakes to be served with an endless pot of tea. Although she had no children, her home was the hang out' spot for many young people in Whiteside. Out of her love for animals and she had many, both domestic and wild, she added a small room where they could come for food and shelter. Auntie' loved music, was an ardent Elvis fan and will be remembered by her many nieces and nephews for teaching them how to dance and instilling a love for musicians like Jim Reeves, Eddy Arnold and Floyd Cramer.

In her early years, a very stylish Ann, worked at the Metropolitan and then K-Mart in Sydney. While living in Whiteside, Ann operated a convenience store for some time then became a vendor at the Port Hawkesbury flea market, selling paintings and crafts made by Leo. She loved her bingo nights and brought any willing participant along. Christmas was a special time for her, and she bought for everyone to make it a special time for them. She so enjoyed pop and chocolate. A very caring and compassionate person, she had a big heart and loved to give of herself. A great big THANK YOU to all her neighbors and friends in Whiteside, Lower River Inhabitants, Cleveland, Evanston, Port Hawkesbury, River Bourgeois for loving Ann and being there for her over the years. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Seaview Manor, Glace Bay and the Cove Guest Home, Sydney for their kindness, support and love during Ann's stay.

A Graveside Service will be held Thursday October 24, 2019 at 1:00 p.m., in St. Patrick's Cemetery, 1621 Whiteside Road, a reception will follow at Riverdale Community Centre, 106 Vince McCarthy Drive, Lower River Inhabitants. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Green's Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury. Expressions of sympathy may be made at www.greensfuneralhome.ca

With heartfelt sadness for our loss, but profound gratitude for the many years we were blessed to have her, we announce the peaceful passing of Marjorie Christina MacMullin on October 27, 2019. Our beloved mother, at age 101, was the matriarch of a family that spanned five generations, including five children, 12 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. She and our father, Michael MacMullin, had fifty wonderful years together. They were loving parents to us all: Sarah Ann Fahey, Margaret Ann Cann, Michael & Leo MacMullin, and our dearly departed sister, Elizabeth MacNeil. Mom is also survived by devoted daughters-in-law, Diane (Mickey) and Rosemary (Leo); several generations of grandchildren, nieces and nephews, all of whom she cherished.

Born July 29, 1918, Mom was the youngest daughter of Nicholas and Ethel May (Taylor) Howell, who had moved from Newfoundland in 1911 to Sydney Mines and began a family. Mom was predeceased by both parents and a stepfather, William Hennessey, a sister Christina and brothers Tom and Freddy Howell. Mom was also predeceased by her husband, Michael; parents-in-law, John and Flora Ann (Gillis) MacMullin; in-laws, Margaret and Sean Howell, Rory & Katie-Ellen MacMullin and Sarah Ann & John MacLean; grandsons, Ian MacMullin and Christopher Cann; and great-grandchildren, Madison and Morgan Englert; sons-in-law, Donald MacNeil, Billy Cann and Len Fahey.

Our dear sweet Mom and Nana will be remembered for her devotion to family, delicious home cooking and baking, as well as her talent for making beautiful handmade crafts; particularly for her crocheting, which was always done without following a pattern. There was love in every stitch. For the past 15 years our mother resided at the Cove Guest Home in Sydney. It was there that she shared lots of happy times with her special friend, the late Donna (Marman) Isnor. We wish to sincerely thank the staff, nurses and doctors at the Cove, who have become an important part of Mom's extended family over the years. We also appreciate the staff, doctors, nurses and Palliative Care Unit at the Regional Hospital in Sydney for your wonderful care of our mother.
