Dorothy “Pat” Fennell, 98 of Halifax passed away peacefully after a brief illness on March 2, 2020 at the QEII Hospital. Born in Halifax on September 28, 1921 she was the daughter of the late Frank and Adele (Carroll) Fennell. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

Pat graduated from Sacred Heart School and McLaughlin Business School. She worked at C.I.B.C. on Barrington Street making many lifelong friends and retiring after 34 years of service. Pat was a devout catholic and her faith played an important role throughout her life. She was a member of Saint Mary’s Basilica where she volunteered for many years counting the collections after the morning masses. Pat was a kind, thoughtful, gentle soul who saw the good in everyone and will be missed.
