She had taken on the second mom role when she was just five years old, helping her own mom with her eight siblings. Mothering came natural to Ann and she was blessed to have taken care of so many babies and young children over the years, as she offered childcare to those who needed it. She loved each one as if they were her very own and was always a little sad when they moved on to school. While her own children were young, she devoted many hours into the various activities they were involved in. She enjoyed a variety of crafts, loved a good card game and adored spending time with her family. She was a kind and gentle soul and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Serenity Funeral Home in Berwick. A Celebration of Ann's Life will be held on Wednesday, June 12th, in Serenity Funeral Home, Berwick Funeral Chapel, 192 Commercial St., Berwick.

TILLER, Harry Leslie
The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, July 6, 2019

It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved father, Harry Leslie Tiller, age 92, of Halifax on June 19, 2019. Dad was born in Wesleyville, N.L., on January 5, 1927 to James and Bessie Tiller. Always a proud Newfoundlander, his family had owned fishing schooners for generations, but dad broke from family tradition to become a teacher in a local school. He then completed an Applied Science degree at Memorial University before moving on to the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) where he graduated in 1954 with his Civil and Chemical Engineering degrees. As a Professional Engineer, his career path eventually led him to a federal government position in the Department of Environment and Fisheries. He completed a Masters of Public Administration during his career and even in retirement, his thirst for knowledge kept his brain sharp and focused until the end. Dad was a runner before it became fashionable and his love of physical fitness, dancing, and music kept him healthy and active through his final days.

He took great interest in his grandchildren's lives and especially enjoyed time spent with each of them. Dad was predeceased by his brothers, Howard and Rayburn; and his former wife, Nancy Logan Steed. He is survived by his children, David (Lynn Hudson), Truro; Marilyn (Kim Kienapple), Halifax; Barbara (Rune Russenes), Vancouver; and Peter, Fort Saskatchewan; as well as grandchildren, Pamela and Scott Tiller, Andrea, Logan, and Julia Rivers, Elin, Ingrid, and Olav Russenes; and great-grandchildren, Dylan and Jackson Rivers.
