IN THE CARE OF
A.L. Mattatall Funeral Home
Age 73, Una passed away peacefully 9am Sunday, May 5, 2019 surrounded by family after a year of battling rapidly progressive dementia in the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, NS. Born in Harricott near St. Mary’s Bay, NL, Una was the daughter of the late Carmel (Brennan) and Michael Byrne. Una had nine wonderful siblings and is survived by Michael Byrne (Sharon; Halifax), Josephine Herman (David; Kemptville, ON), Michelle Keagan (Stephen; Vernon, BC), Terry Byrne (Deanna; Halifax), and Kim Stampp (Ajax, ON), and was predeceased by siblings Mary Ellen Beckner, Billy Byrne (Carmelle; Dartmouth), Theresa Robinson, and Eddie Byrne. Una was the proud mother of Christopher Norman (Dartmouth), Sean Norman (Halifax), Patricia Norman (Los Angeles), and Kathleen Norman (Edmonton) and proud ‘Nanny B’ to her grandchildren: Sophie, Alexander, Donovan and Phoenix. A firecracker of a woman with a warm heart, Una had endless energy and made people feel loved, included, and important. She sang in the kitchen, prepared delicious meals, baked for anyone having a hard day, and shared sweet wisdom. Una loved to power walk, take day trips around Nova Scotia, play at the beach, spend time with friends and family, and spent many, many evenings floating across social dance floors impeccably dressed in her classic elegant style and danced for hours straight. A memorial mass and reception for Una’s life is being held at St. Clement Church (16 Gaston Road, Dartmouth) at 10am Saturday, June 1, 2019. For those who cannot attend, please share your dear memories of Una to her family at www.mattatallfuneralhome.com. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St. Clement Church where Una was a cherished part of the community for 28 years. Una will forever be in our hearts.
