It is with great sadness that the family of Mora Wilson announces the passing of our beloved sister and aunt. Mora passed away peacefully at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, surrounded by family on January 20, 2026.
Mora was born on September 26, 1946, the fourth of ten children, to the late John Murray and Helen (Yates) Wilson in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
In 1967, Mora was part of the second graduating class of respiratory therapists at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax. She enjoyed a 44-year career in this field, devoting 35 years to St. Martha’s, where she made countless friends and fond memories.
As an avid gardener, Mora enjoyed spending time outside tending to her flowers. She loved to watch and chat about hockey. At work and in her neighbourhood, Mora was known for her generosity; she loved to bake and share her treats with others. Shortly before her passing, Mora was asked to describe herself and she said, "I’m a giver". Throughout her life she gave selflessly.
Mora’s humour, joy, and love for her family and friends will remain with us.
Mora is survived by her sisters, Katherine Francis, Diane (Leonard) Parsons, and Marybeth (Charlie) Reid; brothers, George (Annette), David, John Murray (Danielle), and Jimmie; and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her brother Ian (Mildred); sister Jean (Kevin) Knowles; brother-in-law Frank Francis; and sister-in-law Carolann.
The family would like to thank Mora’s best friends Janet, Doug, Helen, Marie, Leslie and Shauna: we are forever grateful for your kindness. We would like to express our gratitude to Dr. Cudmore; the doctors and nurses of St. Martha’s who provided excellent care; and former colleagues who visited with Mora. Dr. Rice, your compassion was a special gift to Mora.
Visitation will be held Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 10:00am to 12 noon in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish. Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home at 1:00pm, with Reverend Peter Smith presiding.
Memorial donations may be made to St. Martha’s Regional Hospital Foundation (Palliative Care Unit).
