PATTERSON
It is with great sadness we announce the passing on Eudora Ileen Patterson (Coldwell) on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 at Dykeland Lodge, Windsor, surrounded by her family and her loving husband of 73 years, St.Clair. Born on Nov. 22, 1927, in Springhill, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late John and Alice (Lewis) Coldwell. As a child she moved with her parents to Avonport. In her teenage years, she was a regular foot passenger on the M.V. Kippowa to Springhill. During the Second World War, she worked for the Canadian
Red Cross in Wolfville. She also worked at the Wolfville Hospital and for a time was also employed at Acadia University. In 1947, she married St.Clair Harvie Patterson and resided in Hantsport. Eudora was president numerous times of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Lucknow Branch 109, of the Royal Canadian Legion, Hantsport, and also president of the Kings Daughter’s, Hantsport Baptist Church. Later in life she worked at the Wolfville Nursing Home, in the kitchen. Eudora loved her family deeply and she instilled honesty and love to all of those she knew. She was a very kind and gracious lady, who would always be there to aid and shelter those in need. She often put her own needs after those she loved. She was soft spoken and always had the right words to say for every occasion. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her. Eudora, with her own elegance and grace, made our world a better place. Besides her husband, St.Clair; she is survived by her children: Son, John (Linda) Patterson of Hants Border and his son, Kevin (Deloris) and child, Owen (Elizabeth), also great great-granddaughter, Willow; and his daughter, Kimberly “Kim” (Dave) Trottier; Son, Stephen (Marlene) Patterson of Hants Border and their children, Aaron, and Heather (Bobby) Strang and their children Brandon and Christine; Son, Edward (Leona), Windsor/Cartersville, GA and his daughter, Sabrina; Daughter, Lynn Patterson; Daughter, Alice Schofield of Upper Vaughan and her son, Jason (Vickey), and their children, Caleb and Kaylee; and her daughter, Kandace (Mark) and her children, Austin and Andrew; Son, Patrick (Katrina) Patterson, Hortonville and their son, Jamie (Kristan) and daughters, Stephanie (Matt) Haas and Jesse (Zak); Daughter, Patricia (Calvin) Leggett of Upper Vaughan and their children, Ryan (Jessica) and children, Elijah and Natalie; and their daughter, Tera (Chris) Sisco and their children, Alexander Leggett and Colton Sisco.
