GAUDET, MARIE ROSE ANNA

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Gaudet on February 26, 2019 at the age of 94. She went peacefully, surrounded by love and with family by her side in the Evergreen Home for Special Care in Kentville. Born Marie Rose Anna Gallant on September 19, 1924 in Urbainville, PEI to the late Cornelius and Aurelia (Arsenault) Gallant, she was the eldest of six and spent her young life on the Island helping her mother take care of the family farm and caring for her younger siblings. She went on to meet and marry the love of her life, the late Gordon Gaudet, and his military career allowed them to travel to different parts of Canada and Europe. Upon his retirement from the military, they chose to settle in Nova Scotia with their four children. Anna was well loved by everyone who knew her, and her smile and upbeat personality were infectious. She was a warm and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, sister and friend and will be sadly missed by all those whose lives she touched. Widowed in 1987, she was also predeceased by her brother, Alfred Gallant, sisters, Corinne Chaisson and Dora Booth. She leaves behind two sisters, Catherine Arsenault and Eva Arsenault. She will be lovingly remembered by her four children, David (Linda) Gaudet of Eastern Passage, Ken (Bev) Gaudet of Westville, Coreen (Bill) Pellerine of Pictou and Christine (Vance) MacLeod of Kingston. She also leaves behind and will be greatly missed by her eight grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and countless nieces and nephews and extended family and friends. A visitation is to be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at the White Family Funeral Home, 100 Cornwallis Street, Kentville, NS from 1-3 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Funeral mass and burial will take place at a later date in Summerside, PEI. We ask that in lieu of flowers, donations in Anna’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada. The family would like to give special thanks to the staff of Evergreen Home for Special Care. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville and Moase Funeral Home, Summerside, Prince Edward Island.
