Patricia Ann Newman

On July 31,2019, Pat passed away knowing she was loved. She was generous and

caring to all she met.

Born on Feb 02,1940 in East Chester at the Ideal Maternity Home (infamously known for

its “Butterbox Babies”), she was adopted by James and Mae Munro of Halifax. She grew

up with nine siblings, all now deceased.

She attended QEH where she met the love of her life, Moe. They married at a young age

and raised 5 children, calling Fairview home for many years.

Pat had a quick wit and a sharp tongue; most that knew her would agree. Her family

brought her the most joy in life (the casino, a close second).

Later in life her wish of meeting her birth family was fulfilled, including meeting her birth

mother. All of her siblings on both sides welcomed her into their lives which she valued

greatly.

Pat passed away at Hospice Halifax with her son, Eric, by her side. She requested

cremation. A Celebration of Life will be held August 5, 2019 from 6-8 pm at J.A. Snow

Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive, Halifax.

Please consider a donation to Hospice Halifax in Pat’s memory. It is a wonderful

residence filled with kind and compassionate staff and volunteers. The family would like

to thank Dr. Andrea McDonald for her unwavering support and care. Also, a big thank

you to the Northwood home care workers that made it possible for her to remain home

until the last few weeks of her life.

She was a wonderful wife and mother, a loving grandmother, and a dedicated friend.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Moe, and her children Eric, Patti (Steve

Muschler), Scott (Karen), Marlene (Adel Masad). and Tracey (Keith MacKay). She was

Nanny to 10 grandchildren and great grandmother to 4.

She is missed tremendously and her memory lives on in the lives that she touched.
