Laffin-Yorke, Evangeline "Vangie" Helen, 66 - Masstown, passed away peacefully
on December 21, 2019 in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in
Parrsboro, she was a daughter of the late Carmen and Vera (Phinney) Yorke.
Vangie was a hairdresser who loved her family and enjoyed ATV-ing, fishing and
the camp. She loved playing cards with her family and friends and made sure
her sons were cared for in every way. She was known for her bright colours and
wild outfits. "Vangie was the only lady who could get away with wearing
fuschia lipstick and rubber boots." She is survived by sons, David Roy
(Marlaina), and Ricky (Donna), both of Alberta; sister, Coleen Yorke;
brothers, Jim (Patricia), Masstown and Sandy (Sandra), Middle Sackville;
grandchildren, Terry James, Michael, Codie, Danika Mae, Hayden Roy, Jagger;
great grandson, Noah; as well as several nieces and nephews. Besides her
parents, she was predeceased by her partner, Jim Richards; sisters, Gwen and
Rebecca and brothers, Glenford and Roger. A Celebration of Life Visitation
will be held on Friday, December 27th from 2-4 pm in Colchester Community
Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made
to the Canadian Cancer Society or charity of choice. Condolences may be sent
