It is with great sadness that our family announces the
passing of our mother, Anne Colette McInnis, on Saturday, November 5,
2022 in the Palliative Care Unit of the Aberdeen Hospital surrounded
by her family. She was born in 1942 to the late Francis
Gregory McChesney and Mary Margaret (Chisholm) (McChesney) Dunn and
her stepfather, Robert (Bob) Lawrence
Dunn.
Mom went to work at Maritime Telegraph and Telephone in the
early 60's for a few years before having kids.
Mom was a stay-at-home mom until we all went to
school. Mom loved TV bingo, and watching game shows
to pass the time. An avid dart player, she was a member of
the Ladies Darts at Branch 29 in Trenton and enjoyed her many trips
with them to PEI. Mom belonged to the Legion for
over 35 years, was a member of the Catholic Women's League and enjoyed
many Cursillos over the years. Music was a major
part of Mom’s life with so many kitchen parties in our
house.
She is survived by her children: Michele (Owen),
Westville; Jim (Stephanie), Wroxeter, Ontario; Rhonda (Byron), Saint
John, NB; and Trevor, Trenton; chosen son, Danny (Kelly)
Grace, Fraser's Mountain. Nanny and Great Nanny will be
missed by grandchildren: Craig, Tiffany, Tyler, Bailey, Isabella and
Mason; her great-grandchildren: Jaxton, Forrest, Eilidh, Bryson and
Brynlee whom she loved beyond measure. She is also survived by sister,
Mary Anita Hale; brothers: Robert (Millie), Alan and Barry Dunn;
sister-in-law, Judy Dunn; several nieces, nephews and
cousins. She was predeceased by her parents;
husband, Dougie; sister-in-law, Mildred Dunn; brother-in-law, Hughie
Hale; and nephew, Shane
Dunn.
Visitation will be 4-7pm Wednesday at R.H. Porter Funeral
Home, 73 High Street, Trenton. Funeral Mass 11 am Thursday at St John
the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, New Glasgow, with Fr. Tom MacNeil
officiating. Burial in Christ the King Cemetery. Donations in her
memory may be made to the Palliative Care Unit c/o Aberdeen Health
Foundation or a charity of choice.
