With the deepest sorrow and sadness, we regret to announce the passing of our beautiful and amazing mother on Monday, March 14, 2022, in Canso Seaside Manor. Born in Canso on May 28, 1943, to the late Joseph and Effie (Fogarty) Long. Lucina held several positions during her lifetime including Librarian, nurses aid, dog groomer, Stedman’s, Reitmans and Zellers. Known for her sense of humor and telling you like it is. Lucina was predeceased by her loving husband of almost 60 years Victor Avery, she held the memory of him close to her until the very end. Lucina was also predeceased by sisters Ella and Lillian and bother Russel who passed away in child birth. She is survived by daughters Lana Bishop (Daryl) Vikki Avery (Eddie Newell), grandsons; Morgan and Joseph, granddaughter Jade, and great grandchildren Addie and Jed, her sister Jean Bennett, niece Rhonda Bennett who we cannot thank enough for staying by moms side, and sister in-law and best friend Maimie Marcott as well nieces and nephews Paul, Pete, and Sonja. Special thank you to all the amazing staff at the Manor, Dr. Chris, Rhonda Bennett and Dr. Judy MacNeil. Having her return home to Canso allowed her to find some peace and happiness and got to reconnect with some old friends. Even though she had Alzheimer’s she remembered a lot of those people and never ever forgot who we were! Special thanks to our hometown Canso and all the amazing people who were there for our family when we needed it most. The thought of her returning to Dad (Victor’s) arms and is no longer fighting her long-time battle with Alzheimer’s disease gives us peace and makes the thought of losing her more bearable. She was a fighter, and we had our mom, our Lucina, right until the end.
