NORWOOD, Caroline Bedell

Of Westport, died in the early morning hours of December 23, 2020. She was born November 10, 1937, in White Plains, N.Y., a daughter of the late Charlotte Green Bedell and Frank Gascoigne Bedell. Moving to Nova Scotia in the early 70’s and settled on Westport, Brier Island, in 1976, Caroline had several different careers during her life, though the one constant was her writing. She worked as a general assignment reporter for the Digby Mirror and ultimately went on to become the editor of the Digby Courier. She compiled some of her stories into two selfpublished books, "Life on Brier Island" and "Life on the Tusket Islands". In her later years, she owned and operated Brier Island Books, out of her house in Westport. Along with her parents, Caroline was predeceased by her sister, Charlotte Hong, her husband, Laforest "Huck" Norwood; her son, Thomas Norwood, and her great-grandson, Nolan Winchenbach. She is survived and will be dearly missed by her children, Daniel Norwood (Marlene) of Westport; Nelson Norwood of Dallas, Tex.; Frank Norwood (Tonnya) of Manchester, Maine; Charlotte Conley (John), of Nobleboro, Maine, and Susanna Norwood-burns (Steve) of Damariscotta, Maine. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Jake, Karyn, Hayden, Madeline, Noah, John, Clover, and Sophie, and great-grandchildren, Mya and Nora. Survivors also include her brothers, George Bedell (Diane) of North Carolina; Frank Merritt Bedell (Kate) of Wiscasset, Maine; daughter- in- law, Nichole Ewing of Otis, Maine, and dear friend, Charles "Mac" Mackenzie of Digby. A celebration of Caroline’s life will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at Tideview Terrace, Digby, for all of the special acts of kindness and wonderful care they gave to Caroline over the past few years.
