Evangeline Mae Baird

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother/Grandmother Evangeline Mae Baird (Whalen) (Bowser). On Sunday June 11th, after a lengthy battle with cancer, Mae left us and is now home with her Lord and Savior. She was born in Halifax in 1943 to the late Peter “Howard” Bowser and Evangeline Mae Bowser (Fader).

She worked for G B Murphy’s and Tower Jewelers as a counter sales rep and was a very active member of Faith City Church, (Formerly Faith Tabernacle) volunteering for various activities and functions. Church was a very important part of her life where she could be found multiple times throughout the week, even after she got sick, she would attend Services virtually.
