It is with great sadness that the family of the late Maggie Battiste announces her peaceful passing at the Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health Centre with her loving family by her side on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at the age of 80 years. Maggie was born in Cul de Sac, NL, and was the daughter of the late Abraham and Esther (Durnford) Skinner. She came to Port aux Basques at age 13 to work as a serving girl for the Savoury family. She married at age 16, had nine children and was a stay at home mom for many years. She ran her home with the efficiency of a general. She always could find another meal to feed someone and all was welcome in her home, whether for a quick visit or to stay. Our father knew who was in charge and would defer to her in most instances. Maggie was involved in a lot of activities prior to recent health issues. She played darts and enjoyed her bowling league. She loved her bingo and wouldn't miss a good game of cards. She was a Legion Auxillary member and was secretary/treasurer up until they folded. She was a member of the LeGrow Hospital Auxillary. Her children often commented that she had a better social life than them. She went to work outside the home around the time her husband was put off work due to disability. She worked at the Donut Shop until it closed. She then worked in the Minor Hockey Canteen until age 74. In her spare time she baked for Coffin's Store and from time to time for C & G Variety. She instilled in her children the importance of working and self-sufficiency. Throughout her life, Maggie never forgot where she came from and she was very proud of her Durnford and Skinner heritage. She loved all her family and her extended family. She leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories her daughters, Barbara Mesa, Elaine (Bob) Fraser, Julia (Robin) Ingram & Kimberly Battiste, and sons, Paul, Guy (Paula) and Michael (Amanda) Battiste, daughters in law, Ethel Battiste, Ruby Battiste and Crystal Kerfont-Battiste, grandchildren: Tammy (Derek) Farrell, Troy (Mandy) Battiste, Jennifer Fraser, Erica Ingram, Victoria Brushett, Deon Mesa, Robert Fraser, Richard Mesa, Nicholas Ingram, Megan Battiste, Chase Battiste, Chance Battiste, Andrew Battiste, and Katie Marie Battiste, and nine great-grandchildren, brothers: Fredrick (Pauline) Skinner, Samuel (Sharon) Skinner, sisters: Eva Dollimount, twin sister Theresa Francis, sisters in law: Mary Skinner, Florence Skinner, Regis Battiste, Barbara Neil, Daphne Battiste, those she considered family: Kathleen Critchell and Dorothy Osmond.

"Always In Our Hearts."

MCKENNEY, JEANNE MARIE
(November 23, 1944 - June 16, 2017)
It is with great sadness we say goodbye to our mother, grandmother, aunt, friend and partner. As a young toddler, Jeanne arrived in Halifax from England, at Pier 21, with her mother Betty Wilson. Starting with a childhood in Southern Ontario, Jeanne lived most of her adult life surrounded by the beauty of Northern Ontario. In her last five years the Atlantic was calling her back home. Newfoundland gave her the view of the water and, for Jeanne, the land touched her soul. Jeanne was an avid gardener, she loved her flowers and she was known for her famous Orchids, a flower that she could make grow in any climate. Her love of the earth and landscape was evident in that she recycled anything and everything, she would never let anything go to waste. Jeanne spent many hours making her house into a home and being a perfectionist made her home as comfortable as it still is today. She would also spend many hours in the upstairs bedroom window just staring at Rose Blanche Lighthouse. She professed to have the best view of the lighthouse in Rose Blanche. She never stopped doing things for others and could often be found making apple pies, bread and cookies for Morgan, which she always enjoyed. After her move to Newfoundland in 2010 she could be often heard saying that she moved "From Away To Here" and this is where her beautiful soul was happiest. Jeanne is survived by many family members and five grandchildren. She also leaves to mourn her common law partner Morgan Taylor, his mother Hannah Taylor, his children; Morgen, Dana (Andrew) Taylor, Dara Taylor, grandchildren Abigail and Chantelle, close friends Sabina Keeping, Diane Munden, Maxine Edwards, Marlene Williams, Regis Cornell, Elaine and Raymond Lauzon, Pearce Spicer and anyone and everyone whom she met. In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place. Visitation took place on Monday June 19, from 7-9 p.m. at St. Michael's and All Angels Anglican Church in Rose Blanche, from where the funeral service took place on Tuesday, June 20, 2 p.m., officiated by Rev. Jeffrey Petten, internment will be at a later date. Funeral arrangements were in the care of East Haven Funeral Home Inc., 57 Grand Bay Road, Port aux Basques. 695-2300. www.easthavenfuneralhome.com
