Maisie Ardella Mitchell

Mitchell, Maisie Ardella, 78, went to be with the Lord, surrounded by family on April 2, 2011. Born in Oxford, Nova Scotia, she was the daughter of the late Mayhew and Beatrice (Sterling) Mitchell. Maisie was a wonderful mother and grandmother who enjoyed life. She shared her enthusiasm with first her family, then with other organizations such as the Toastmasters, The Red Hat Society and as a broadcaster with NWBC, starting in December of 1998 and continuing until her admittance to the hospital in October 2010. Her gift and love of music led her to play the piano, guitar and numerous other instruments for many church and Northwood functions. She was an active member of the Nazarene Church for many years. Maisie especially loved the springtime of the year, always looking forward to the first flowers of the season. She is survived by her three sons, Richard (Diane) Seguin, Cornwall, ON, Michael (Pauline) Seguin, Lower Sackville, NS, and Daniel (Debbie) Seguin, Lower Sackville, NS; brothers Vernon (Jean) Mitchell, Amherst, NS, Kensel (Ann) Mitchell, Vancouver, BC, Arthur Mitchell, Mount Pleasant, NS and Emerson Mitchell, Oxford, NS; sister Beatrice (Alex) Hughes, Amherst, NS; grandchildren, Tiffanie, Kayla, Jason, Derek, Brittany, Toni and Nicky. Maisie was predeceased by her brother Aubrey (Liz) Mitchell, Moncton, NB.
