Elsie Louise Stockdale

Elsie Louise Stockdale of Weaver Settlement, died on May 18, 2020 in Digby General Hospital. She was born on April 11, 1927 in London, England and studied Modern Languages at the University of Birmingham. She married Laurie Stockdale in 1950, and seven years later, with their three children, they embraced a new life as teachers in Weymouth, Nova Scotia.

She is remembered and respected as an exceptional teacher whose belief in the value of each student helped many to succeed. Her passion for music led to many trips to Europe for concerts. Her love of language was reflected in a life of reading and learning. Her determination and strength served her well in all aspects of her life. She was intelligent, caring, witty and fair.

Predeceased by her husband, Laurie, and brother, Arthur, she is survived by her children and their partners: Judith and Kim, Mike and Debbie, Anne and Dan. Her grandchildren, Lindsay, Hilary and James were very special to her, and for her great-grandsons, Caleb and Téo, her wish was for a better world. Her beloved cats, Sandy and Sam, brought much joy.

Donations to a cause dear to our mother’s heart such as animal welfare, education or the environment would be appreciated. There shall be neither visitation nor service.

Cremation has taken place under the care of Jayne's Funeral Home, Digby. Please share a memory or leave a condolence at jaynesfuneralhome.com
