Obituary
CURRIE, Marcia Fraser, RN - It is with deep sadness the family announces the passing of Marcia on July 28, 2009, in Dartmouth General Hospital at the age of 81. Born in Oxford, Cumberland Co., she was a daughter of the late Harris and Ellen Jane (Fraser) McCormack. She attended school in Oxford and graduated from Stellarton High School. In 1946 she entered the Aberdeen Hospital School of Nursing, graduating in 1949 with her RN. During her career, she worked in the Grace Hospital, Vancouver, Dartmouth Shipyards, Halifax Infirmary specializing in the Eye Clinic and the Dartmouth General Hospital until retirement in 1988. She was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, former member of the Dartmouth Curling Club and a volunteer for the Dartmouth General Hospital Auxiliary. She was a talented musician both piano and organ, made many beautiful crafts, and was very handy sewing for the entire family. One of her favourite pastimes was tending to her beautiful gardens which were a work of art. She was a doting grandmother to her three grandsons and spent many hours taking care of them over the years and making every holiday extra special with personalized packages from Nanny. She always put so much thought into every gift she ever gave. A present from Nanny was not just an ordinary gift. She was kind, generous and enjoyed doing all she could for others. She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Ivan; son, Paul and his wife Sandie (Burbine); loving grandsons, Craig, Kirk and Nicholas and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brothers, Alton, Carmen, Coll Maxie and sister, Anne. Cremation has taken place with private burial. Family flowers only. A memorial service will take place on Saturday, August 1, at 10:30 a.m. in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, School Street, Dartmouth, Rev. P.A. "Sandy" McDonald officiating. A reception will follow the service in the church hall. Donations may be made to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, the Dartmouth General Hospital Foundation or the charity of your choice.
