Thomas Lindsay Bligh
Born In: Lakeville, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed in: Berwick, Nova Scotia, Canada
Passed on: April 25th, 2010
BLIGH, Thomas Lindsay - 83, Berwick, Kings Co., passed away on Sunday, April
25, 2010, at his home, after a lengthy battle with heart disease and cancer.
Born in 1926, at the family farm in Lakeville, Kings Co., he was a son of
the late Emerson and Creta (Graham) Bligh. Thomas was a graduate of Mack
Business College in Kentville and participated in a farm training program at
the Agricultural College in Truro. Surviving are his devoted and loving
wife, Audrey (Swindell) Bligh, Berwick; son, Brian (Sue) Bligh, Lakeville;
grandchildren, Emma Lee, Lindsay and Zachary; brother, Graham (Jeanne)
Bligh, Dartmouth. Besides his parents, Thomas was predeceased by his first
wife, Betty (Hansen) Bligh of Windsor. He was always particularly proud of
the accomplishments of his grandchildren. For many years he managed the
family farm on Tory Lane, Lakeville, where due to market circumstances the
primary focus changed from apples and potatoes to dairy and beef cattle.
After the sale of the farm and retirement Thomas moved to Berwick and
enjoyed fishing, hunting and wood working. He cherished times at the cottage
in Harbourville and the special events with many friends and neighbours.
There was no visitation. Funeral service for Thomas took place 2 p.m.,
Friday, April 30, in the H.C. Lindsay Funeral Home, 192 Commercial St.,
Berwick, N.S., B0P 1E0, (902-538-9900). Rev. Marilyn Rose officiated, with
burial in the Berwick Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory
may be made to the Canadian Red Cross Society or to any charity. A special
thank you from the family to Katrinia Patterson, R.N., and Dr. Lori Burgess
