O’Leary, Winnifred "Winnie" Gertrude – Age 86 years of Canso formerly of Queensport, Guys Co. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Winnifred "Winnie" Gertrude O’Leary, on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 in the Canso Seaside Manor. Born in Antigonish on Valentine’s Day 1935 she was a daughter of the late James and Ethel (Munroe) Cluney.
Winnie is survived by her children, Wayne (Pauline), Darlene (Ian), Maxine (Kevin P.), Donna (Josh) and Debbie (Kevin S.); daughter-in-law, Audrey; 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 66 years, Osborne and Son, Robert.
Winnie was a mother of 6 but was like a mother to many others. Mom loved picking berries, knitting and baking. She will be fondly remembered for her blueberry pie, date squares and especially her molasses cookies. An animal lover, Mom had a special spot in her heart for her beloved dogs, Fritz and Partner and many other dogs and cats.
Mom and Dad spent many enjoyable hours playing Wahoo and CroKinole at the kitchen table with family and friends.
The family would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff and physicians at Seaside Manor, Canso. It truly became her home.
A graveside service will be held at a later date. Donations can be made in Winnie’s memory to St. Vincent de Paul’s Cemetery Fund, Queensport.
Funeral arrangements are under the care of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Canso. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at: www.haverstocks.com
