Obituary of Freeda Fox

FREEDA ELVIRA (ANDERSON) FOX, 91, of Upper Clements, Annapolis County, passed away with quiet dignity on April 2, 2011, at the Annapolis Community Health Centre. Born at West Dalhousie, Anna. Co., she was a daughter of the late Eva Gladys (Spurr) and Stanley Everett Anderson. She graduated from Annapolis Royal Academy and was employed as a medical receptionist prior to her marriage. During her younger life she was a member of the Anglican Church Guild, taught Sunday School, was a volunteer canvasser for various charities, and proudly took part in the Terry Fox walk when in her 70's. Her flower gardens and rhododendrons were a source of summertime enjoyment and pride while reading and window bird watching occupied her interest during the winter months. She enthusiastically enjoyed all aspects of community life, especially Sunday Church, Frenchy outings and lunch at Leo's. All who met Mum will miss her beautiful smile, positive nature and love of life. She will be deeply missed and forever loved and remembered by daughter Jeanne Fox, of Upper Clements and Kentville, sister Eileen (Ernest) Leonard, Bridgewater, and many nieces, nephews, friends and her pet "Rocky". She was predeceased in 2001 by her husband of 61 years, Zenas H. Fox, sisters Vera Gibson, Ruby Goucher, Ellen Porter, Jean Durling and brothers Lloyd, Lawrence and Joseph. Special appreciation is extended to the staff of the ACHC and her care givers for their tender loving care.
