BLAKE, Everettt
Passed on: December 26th, 2017

Passed away December 26th, 2017 from the Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony at the age of 91 years. According to the government, Everett was born in Spillard's Cove (now called Straitsview) on September 22nd, 1926, however, it is more likely that he had been born a year earlier (in 1925). The government decision was based on Census information, because birth records had been lost- perhaps because of fire. This decision was made when Everett was well on in life, as is often the case when birth records have been lost. Everett set his hand to whatever work was available. He fished, hunted, and trapped. During the winter, he was busy knitting and mending cod traps. He became a good carpenter and built a number of schools and many homes. On Sundays, he walked down to the church and rang the bell (which meant that all the children went off to Sunday school). It was when Everett went to Raleigh to fish that he met Jessie Bessey. The two celebrated 65 years of marriage together. They grew a new branch of the Blake family tree which now includes nearly four dozen descendants. He leaves to mourn his wife, Jessie Blake; sons, Dennis (Donna), Garry (Betsy), Cyril and Hedley; daughters, Cindy (Jim), Dale, and Velma (Barry); brother Wilson; sister-in-law Marie (widow of brother Garfield) as well as 14 grandchildren, 23 great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren and a large circle of extended family and friends. Everett was predeceased by his parents, James and Martha Blake; brothers, Isaac, Ruben, Garfield, and Harrison as well as sisters, Lucy, Mary Evelyn, and Rosie. Visitation was held from the United Church in Raleigh from where the funeral service was held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, December 30th, 2017 with Rev. Gus Pendleton officiating. Interment followed. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Kerry M. Fillatre Funeral Homes, St. Anthony and Roddickton, Lee Nippard funeral director.

CUNARD, STEPHANIE AYN
Stephanie Ayn Cunard
(Aunt Stephie), age 31, found peace on Friday December 1, 2017. Stephanie was born in St. Anthony, on May 11, 1986 (Mother's Day), to Ann Marie and Eric Cunard. She has a sister Sara and a brother Stephen. She graduated High School from Viking Trail Academy and went to Academy Canada in Corner Brook to complete her diploma as a hair stylist. She excelled in her work and will be sadly missed by her loyal customers. Even though her life was full of darkness her contagious smile could light up a room. She found a great love, Kirby House and daughter Sarah who filled the void in her life. Some of her greatest joys in life were her dogs Chloe and Buddy, her nieces Madalyn, Alex, and her family including her Grandmother Madeline Skinner and Special Aunt Elsie Cunard. She was surrounded by a large circle of extended family and friends that loved her very much. She lost her battle with mental illness, not because she didn't put up a great fight, but because she couldn't fight anymore. In her own words, her tattoo stated, "My story hasn't ended." The story of Stephanie Ayn Cunard has not ended. Visitation was held from the Anglican Church of the Advent in Plum Point from where the funeral was held on Tuesday, December 5th, 2017 at 2:00 pm with Rev. Jennifer Renouf officiating.
