Cameron, Dona Louise, age
77 of Ashdale, Antigonish County passed away at St. Martha’s
Regional Hospital on November 14, 2023.
Dona was born
in Lewisporte, Newfoundland, the daughter of the late Alex and Lucy
(Gates) Moyles. Following her early years in Newfoundland,
Dona moved to Ontario and it was there she met her future husband,
Bill Cameron. She and Bill moved back to Bill’s
home in Nova Scotia where they spent many happy years raising their
family.
To say Dona
had a green thumb was an understatement. She grew
everything and grew it in abundance. Her garden was filled
with beautiful flowers as well as vegetables galore. She was
well known for her wonderful pickles and
preserves.
She is
survived by her children: Jacqueline (Scott) Peters, Fraser Lake, BC;
Thomas (Susan) Cameron, Antigonish; Howard Cameron, Simm Settlement;
Lucy (Brennan) MacGillivary, Pleasant Valley; grandchildren: Ryan,
Richard, Cameron, Logan, Breagh; step granddaughter, Jade; great
granddaughters Robyn and Skylar; brothers: Jim, Lemuel and Tony;
sisters: Eileen, Marina and Herma, all of
Newfoundland.
She was
predeceased by her husband Bill (October 7, 2023) and brother
Woodrow.
Cremation has
