Charlotte Diane Marlow

MARLOW (MacLeod) Charlotte Diane, 73, of Milford Station NS died Saturday July 2 at the QE II Halifax Infirmary. Born in South Bar, Cape Breton, she was a daughter of the late Lewis and Jennie (Dingwall) MacLeod. Deep family and community connections followed Charlotte from her hometown of South Bar to Milford Station. She was a mischievous presence in the living rooms of family and neighbours alike, and was a great adversary and even greater friend. Charlotte was a community builder. She taught generations of piano students, was a fixture at the farmer’s market and was a proud mother and grandmother. A voracious reader she loved jazz, travel, cooking and weaving. Known as much for her quick wit as her quilts Charlotte will be dearly missed.

She was predeceased by husband, Walter Marlow and sister Joan Scott (MacLeod). She is survived by companion David Wallace, Milford Station, son Colin (Halifax NS), daughters Jennifer (Ben Maycock), Milford Station and Emily (Dan Leister), Chicago IL, brother Graham (Evie)MacLeod, Whitney Pier, sister Norma Evans (George Robards), Brandon MB, nieces Cathy & Wendy Scott, Phyllis Rhyno (Scott), Paula McDonnell (Scott) and nephews John Evans and Todd, Scott and Darren MacLeod. Proud grandmother to Ruby Maycock and Meera and Wilson Leister.

Cremation has taken place under the care and direction of Ettinger Funeral Home, Shubenacadie. An open house will be held July 5 from 2pm-9pm at the family home, 1955 Highway 2 Milford.
