DUNNE Maureen Passed: September 6, 2020 Born: December 13, 1966 "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life." (Prince) Our dearest Reenie, our boisterous Beenie-Bopper, In stillness and tranquility at just 53 years old you decided it was time for the next step and imbued with a sense of calm and serenity you drew your final breaths on Sept 6, 2020. You were born on December 13, 1966 and life was challenging for you, yet you confronted it with a strength and courage few possess. You survived and surpassed the insurmountable and you and your life is this family's greatest teacher. You loved music, singing, dancing and laughing! There was no match for your deep bellied joviality. So happy with so little, to be in the moment and grasp wholeheartedly that which brought you joy. The face of a family member, an unexpected visit, your favorite meal, meaningful music, hearing that you were loved, the sun on your face, reminiscing fond childhood memories, were all reasons for you to be grateful. Something you held dear to your heart were your memories of all your nieces and nephews, their births, how you babysat them and the innumerable shenanigans. Being an aunt was very important to you and you loved them all. For Bill and Nichole, with whom you shared many years of your home life, your passing is especially sorrowful. They held vigil at your bedside in your final days. You taught us that we have much to learn Reenie. Direct and authentic, pure and powerful with humor and warmth, a well-hidden vulnerability and a feisty temperament. You never wanted nor asked for much, just to be loved and to know you mattered and belonged- to not feel like an outsider, different or to be shunned. You now join our mom (Kathleen Dunne- 2014) , dad ( Harry Dunne- 1975 ), brother ( Henry Dunne- 2014) and niece (Tara Dunne- 2016) who have gone before you. You were surrounded by family and heard their stories, songs, laughter and hopefully felt their love. We, your remaining brothers and sisters; Wayne, Tony, Kitty, Trish, Carol, Tim and Linda along with our families and friends will never forget you Reenie. You have left a special impact on many healthcare professionals that grew to know and love you over the years. Reenie, you will be celebrated, treasured and loved eternally. We fell short of giving you all that you deserved in your living years. May death bring you not only peace but also freedom, a gentle release from the mind's restless state and from the bodily confines of physical discomfort and suffering. The family would like to thank the staff of the Waterford Hospital who for many years fulfilled a very important function for our sister. She spoke of you often and fondly. Resting at Caul's Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road on Thursday, September 10, 2020 from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Funeral Mass will take place on Friday, September 11, 2020 at 10 a.m. at Mary Queen of the World Church. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association.

FLIGHT Sophie It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sophie Flight, our dear mother and the treasured grandmother and great-grandmother of our family who knew her as Nanny Sophie. She passed peacefully away at her residence, the Agnes Pratt Home, on Sunday, September 6, in the presence of family members, at the age of 102. She is predeceased by her husband, George, who died in 1989. Sophie was the eldest of eight children, born to parents Susie and Stanley Bowers, in Harry's Habour, NL. The family later moved to Burlington, NL. Sophie moved to Buchans as a young woman. It was in Buchans that she and George met, got married, and raised their family together. She was an active member of the Buchans United Church, the Rebekah Lodge, and the LOBA. She worked as a cook at the A.M. Guy Memorial Hospital for many years, a job she thoroughly enjoyed. It was said that people faked illness in order to be admitted to the hospital to enjoy one of her meals. Sophie and George retired to Broad Cove in 1981. She was a very caring person who had a deep capacity for empathy and who put the welfare of others before her own. She was an avid knitter and always enjoyed a game of Skip-Bo with friends. Left with a lifetime of wonderful memories are her son, Clyde, and daughter-in-law Brenda, daughter, Bernice, and son-in-law Calvin Miles, grandchildren: Jane (Heath O'Neill), Jennifer (Chris King), Peter (Julia Bloomquist), Adrienne (Sean May), and David Kelleher-Flight. Sophie adored her great-grandchildren, Sophie and Sarah O'Neill, Isaac, Alex, and Serena King, Eddie and George Miles, and Sebastian and Xavier May, whose presence in her life in her later years brought her much love and happiness. Sophie leaves one surviving sister, Reta Elliott, of Buchans, NL, as well as sister-in-law Evelyn Bowers and special niece Loretta Bowers, who both reside in Kitchener, ON. She also leaves to mourn numerous other nieces, nephews and many family friends. A warm thank you to Sophie's roommate, Betty Butler, and her wonderful family for all the kindness they shared. We would also like to thank the staff at the Agnes Pratt Home for caring for our mother over the past five years. We are extremely grateful for all that you have done and wish to extend a special thank you to "the walking girls." Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Noel's Funeral Home, Western Bay.

ROCHE (nee POWER) Marie Pierre June 21, 1934 - Sept.8, 2020 It is with profound sadness, yet love filled hearts that we share the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and friend, Marie Pierre Roche (nee Power) of St. John's, formerly of Branch, St. Mary's Bay. Mom passed peacefully away at home in the arms of her three daughters and surrounded by those she loved after a brief battle with cancer. Predeceased by her husband Allan Roche, her parents Robbie and Margaret Power and Stepfather (Pop) Ambrose Power, sister Florence Pond and recently departed brother Aloysius (Wishey), parents-in-law Edmund and Mary Roche, sister-in-law Gloria Nash (husband Pat d.), and brother-in-law Fred Roche. Leaving to mourn with a lifetime of unconditional love her three daughters, Margie (Ed), Gloria and Ann Marie (Shane) along with the shining lights in her life her four grandchildren, Maria, Anna, Samuel and Kiera. They made her heart sing every day! Sharing in our loss is her beloved brother Bob Power (Nora), brothers-in-law William Roche and Earl Pond (Florence d.), sister-in-law Florence Power (Wishey d.) and Maureen Roche (Fred d.). Her special Aunt Theresa Roche. Nieces; Bev, Gwen, Marie, Lynn, Earlene, Elaine, Linda, Missy, Jill, Patricia, Joyce, Mary, Kim and Emily. Nephews; Rob, Brian, Ian, Mark, Howard, Donnie, Fred, Sean, Stephen, John Paul, Peter and Edward. Auntie Re loved them all! She will be greatly missed by her Power cousins from "the hill" in Branch and her Careen cousins with their roots from Point Lance. Also, special friends Ann Hickey, Mona Gillespie, Hannah McGrath, Mary Keiley, Rosemary Dillion, Zeta Curran, Annie and Denis Nash. Mom was born on the first day of summer (June 21, 1934) to Robert and Margaret Power in Branch, S.M.B. Three siblings followed: Wishey, Florence and Bob. When mom was nine years old her father Robbie passed away. This life changing event created a strong bond between the four siblings, and they remained closely united and loyal to each other throughout the years. Their mother Margaret raised them to value family, their Catholic faith and education. Mom went on to become a teacher. For 42 years it was her passion. Mom truly cared for every student who passed through her classrooms. Everywhere she went a former student would greet her and share happy memories. Mom taught in Ship Cove and Branch before moving to St. John's. There she taught at Presentation Convent School for 36 years. Mom had many colleagues who became lifelong friends. In 1962 Mom married Allan Roche. Together they built a life of love around their three daughters. Most of those years were spent on Barnes Rd (St. John's) and the summer home in Branch. Their homes were always filled with the laughter of friends and family. In 1992, our Dad passed away suddenly but soon Mom's life was made full again with the arrival of her four precious grandchildren. She devoted herself to them and they loved her dearly. Mom treated everyone with kindness, respect and dignity. As she would often say "everyone has a story." Mom found fulfillment volunteering at the Gathering Place and fellowship in her friends at her Mercy Associates Group. Mom's deep faith helped her accept the cancer diagnosis with grace and peace.
