Effie Elizabeth Hussey

A long standing United Church and UCW member and a kind and loving person who worked tirelessly for her family, friends, and community, she was happiest doing for others. Many, who enjoyed her good food, her special wit, and unique wisdom, will remember her strength of character and miss the colour she added to their lives.

Effie was predeceased by her husband of 67 years, Charles Hussey (2009); her daughter, Mary Ryan and sons-in-law, Joseph Ryan and K. Wayne MacLean.

She is survived by her brother, Archie Kerr; daughters, Beverley MacRae (Martin), Evelyn MacLellan, Audrey MacLean and son, Arnold (Anne); grandchildren, Donna MacRae, Louanne MacRae, Kevin MacRae, Nancy Ryan, Ron MacLellan, Dale MacLellan, Joanne Hussey, Laura Bondt, Nicholas Hussey, Matthew MacLean, Aaron MacLean, Alexandra MacLean, and thirteen great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank Dr. Cormier and the staff at Twin Oaks Hospital for their many kindnesses and the care they took at the end of her life.

The funeral will be held at Aspy Bay United Church, Aspy Bay, Cape Breton on Thursday, August 24, 2017 at 2 p.m. Donations may be made to Aspy Bay United, (1140 Bay St. Lawrence Road, B0C 1G0), or Buchanan Memorial Hospital, Neil’s Harbour.
