Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joan Sturdy
age 73 of Tidnish on Thursday, April 23, 2015 in the comfort of her home.
Born March 18, 1942 in Maccan, she was a daughter of the late Lawson and
Olive (Kellegrew) Long.

In her earlier years, Joan worked for Nova Scotia Provincial Tax Commission
in Halifax and then moved back to Amherst where she was later employed with
IMP Aerospace in the payroll department for many years.

Joan loved her Sunday drives and exploring the back roads of Cumberland
County and beyond. She enjoyed spending time at their country home
surrounded by the local wildlife and watching the many species of birds.
Joan will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her spouse, Don
Chapman; step daughter, Christine (Michel Vaillancourt) Chapman, Morell,
PEI; three brothers, Ronald (Doris) Long, Sarnia, ON, Jack (Patricia) Long,
Nepean, ON and James (Linda) Long, Amherst; as well as several nieces and
nephews.

In addition to her parents, Joan was predeceased by her sister, Carol Louise
in infancy; and niece, Carol Ann Long.

As per Joan¹s wishes, cremation has taken place.

A celebration of Life will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 between the
hours of 6-8 p.m. at Campbell¹s Funeral Home, 98 Church St., Amherst
