SUTHERLAND (Angus), Audrey Frances
Age 90, passed away in Halifax on January 11, 2021. Audrey was born in Halifax on December 22, 1930. She was the daughter of the late Daniel Burton Angus and Ethelyn (Bezanson) Angus. She attended Rockingham Public School from 1935-1946, then Queen Elizabeth High School from 1946-47. Her family moved to Pictou and she graduated from Pictou Academy in 1949, where her father was a teacher and later principal. Audrey then attended and graduated from Acadia University in 1952 (BA English). Some of her fondest memories were the fall seasons at Acadia, reuniting with friends and enjoying the beautiful autumn scenery in the Annapolis Valley. She married James (Jamie) Sutherland in 1954 and so began a life of raising a family and travelling. Jamie was a test pilot with the RCAF and then an executive pilot as a second career, so the travelling never ended for Audrey. She rose to the challenge of being a military spouse, proving over and over that it is not only military members that deserve medals. Moving was a frequent event in our lives and Audrey created a warm, loving home in so many places. Greenwood (twice); London, Ont.; California (twice); Ottawa (twice); Salisbury, England; Cold Lake, Alta.; Montreal; Nagoya, Japan; Honolulu; Edmonton, and finally home to Nova Scotia in 2008. Audrey will be remembered by many for her exceptional apple pies, tea biscuits and chicken casserole served with a quick wit and sense of humour. Sunday dinner was always a tablecloth event, ending with a rushed dessert, so we could watch The Wonderful World of Disney at 6 pm. Audrey is survived by her husband of 66 years, James; brothers, Murray Angus ( Joan), Dartmouth; Donald Angus (Linda Redford), Toronto; sons, Robert ( Mary), Sherwood Park, Alta.; Stephen (Lorena), Edmonton; Derek (LaRae), Mission, B.C.; daughters, Anne ( Jeremy) Kelland, Brooklyn, Hants Co.; Linda ( Mike Murray), Edmonton, Alta.; and Laura Chan, Lower Sackville; grandchildren C.J., Ryan, Taryn ( Mike), Jerrod, Ian ( Shelley), Lindsay (Keighl), Gillian (Augustine), James (Ally), Amy, Robin, Nathan, Megan, Rylynn, Bishop, Rene, Erin, Felizya, Emilee, Sierra and Dimias; and adored little great- granddaughters, Clare, Adelin, Nora and Gwen; many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Richard Angus. Special thanks to Parkland, Clayton Park, to all the staff and friends in Cameron building and also to the 3rd floor Drummond Hall staff, whose caring and respect were so appreciated for the short time she was there. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place later in 2021. Donations in memory of Audrey can be made to Operation Smile Canada or a charity of your choice.
