CAVERLY, Pauline Sylvia

-

New Waterford

On Saturday August 21, 2021, our mom, Pauline Sylvia Caverly (born Wilkinson), passed away peacefully in her sleep with her two daughters present at Harboursto­ne Enhanced Care Nursing Home, Sydney. She is now at peace after her journey of 5 years with dementia. Pauline was born on June 9, 1943 in Glace Bay and grew up in Lingan and Dominion, two very special places in her heart. She lived most of her life in New Waterford. Pauline is survived by her two daughters, Debbie McDougall (Jenny Gilmore), Truro, NS and Anita Caverly, Brantford, Ontario. She is also survived by her most-cherished and beloved only grandson, Brandon Nadon of Brantford, Ontario. As well, survived by many cousins, nieces and nephews. She is predecease­d by her birth mother, Eunice Wilkinson of Glace Bay and by her parents (to whom she was forever grateful for raising her) Sadie (Hall) of Lingan and John Henry Campbell of Dominion. As well, she is predecease­d by sisters, Mary Campbell of New Waterford, Mary “Cookie” Kane, Glace Bay, Theresa Romard of Boston and her brother, Robert Wilkinson, Glace Bay. Pauline is also predecease­d by the two great loves of her life, Ed Thistle of Castle Bay and Ray Rockett of New Waterford. Our mom was one of the most kindhearte­d, sensitive, generous and caring person who loved others deeply and we know she was well-loved, in return, by many in her lifetime. Her daughters want to thank the residents of 245 Curran St for the sense of community and the good home she had while living there for 25 years. And, most especially, we are deeply grateful for those who held care and concern for her in the last years there. Her two daughters can never adequately express our deepest gratitude to the staff of MacDougall Court at Harboursto­ne Enhance Care, Sydney for their true care (and love) for our mom for the last 14 months, and especially, for their compassion­ate care during her last 5 days of life. Cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service upon her wishes. Donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Nova Scotia, if interested. Online condolence­s can be made at www. foresthave­n.ca.
