Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Viola Madeline
Guest on December 10th, 2014. She was 100 years of age and died peacefully
at the Q.E.II, Halifax.
She was born in Halifax, NS, the daughter of David and Lily Mitchell Fader,
born Halifax and England respectively. She was predeceased by her loving
husband, Walter and dear infant son, John David, as well as five sisters,
two brothers, and son-in-law, Douglas R. Grant. She will be very sadly
missed by daughter, Eleanor, Prospect, NS; grandsons, Kevin (Carole),
Prospect, Ken, Ottawa and great granddaughter, Emma, Ottawa.
Viola was a very caring and wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. She was
an accomplished singer and gave many concerts in her early years including
Ladies Business and Professional Club, Fortnightly Club and several
churches. She also sang with the Dalhousie Chorale, the Atlantic Symphony
Choir, Royal NS Tattoo and other groups. She was a long standing member of
St. Paul's Anglican Church serving as president of both the Chancel Guild
and Woman's Auxiliary. Her beautiful needlepoint still remains there and she
embroidered the church linens for 50 years. She was a member of the church
choir for many years and a Sunday school teacher in the early years. She
loved tending her garden and award winning roses.
She was a wonderful homemaker, always eager to bake, and to preserve the
harvest. She created beautiful clothes, evening gowns, hats etc. and toys
for the whole family. She also wrote numerous poems and some church hymns.
She was a friend to many and always eager to help. She had a bed and
breakfast for several summers and at age 98 still received cards and letters
from guests who had stayed in her home. She was born with a beautiful smile
and a song in her heart.
Many thanks to her caring friends, family, Dr. Gina Burgess, as well as the
wonderful V.O.N. and Northwood home care and Dr. Gordon and staff at the
QEII as well as the Reverend Dr. Paul Friesen. There will be a private
family burial. Condolences only please, and donations may be made to V.O.N.,
Northwood, or a charity of your choice.
