Lilian Chapman
1915-2008
Chapman, Lilian Maude – 93, Dartmouth. It is with deep sadness but enduring fondness we announce the sudden passing of our mother Lilian on July 12th while at her cottage in Tidnish. Daughter of the late Benjamin and Maude Atkinson, she is survived by her 4 children: Jacqueline (Frank Gallagher) of Winnipeg, Joan (Robert MacInnis) of Riverview, Katherine of Dartmouth and Paul (Michele) of St. Margaret’s Bay; her sister Rachel Boland and nephew Ian Maclean (Marjorie). She is also survived by 8 grandchildren: Kevin Gallagher, Trevor (Corynne), Robert and Bradley MacInnis, Jessica, Stefanie, Shannon and Rachel Chapman, great granddaughter Breanne Gallagher and several other nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 61 years Jack Gordon and her sister Alma Maclean.
Lilian attended Mount Allison Ladies College, where her mother had been the first woman to graduate with a Masters Degree in Mathematics, in 1901. Lilian’s daughter and granddaughter carried on the family tradition, also graduating from Mount Allison, 35 years apart.
For many years, Lil enjoyed winter afternoons with her Dartmouth bridge pals. But for the last 59 summers, her favourite times have been spent at her cottage on the Northumberland Strait, surrounded by family, friends and fellow members of the Rinkydinks.
Her loves were her family, her piano, playing bridge and gardening and she enjoyed all right to the end. In her last week of life she picked strawberries, made four batches of “Nannie jam”, baked rolls, made chowder – and composed a new theme song for Hockey Night in Canada! It could only have been better if she’d had a chance to bid and make a 7 No Trump hand.
A celebration of Lilian’s life will take place Monday July 21 at Trinity–St. Stephen’s United Church at 1 Ratchford Street in Amherst at 1:00 p.m., with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to a healthcare charity of your choice.Children:
