Obituary

of Hanover, passed away peacefully at home with her daughter at her side on Thursday, April 30, 2020. She was 86. Born on March 1, 1934 to the late Stanley and Dorothy (nee Good) Stevenson. Dearly loved by family and friends. Nancy was the most compassionate, kind and giving person. She went above and beyond to help and please others. Nancy loved and cherished her family and friends, children, grandchildren and all of her “precious” great grandchildren. All were so very blessed to have her in their lives. Nancy was a distributor for Neolife, as well as being a waitress for many years. She was a very dedicated and valued member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 130 in Hanover for over 25 years, and could always be counted on for any task asked of her. She took on every task with much enthusiasm. Nancy surpassed many Legion Presidents and was often called upon for the history of the Legion as she had a great memory for it all. Nancy received the Legion’s only “Life Membership” 2 years ago of which she was very honoured and proud. Over her years with the Legion, she was a member of the Executive Committee, Public Relations, as well as Seniors (visits). Nancy would do hospital and home visits for veterans. Even while she herself was in the hospital, she made a point of going to visit veterans that were there at the same time. Nancy also ran monthly dances at the Legion, as well as afternoon card games for the last 12 years. She was always on the move, keeping busy and doing her very best to lend a helping hand whenever possible. This comrade will be honoured and missed dearly! Survived by sons Brian (Gayle) McLellan, Bruce (Lianne) McLellan, David (Lori) McLellan, daughters Sharon (Paul) Gibson and Darlene McLellan all of Kitchener. Remembered by her special niece Janice Reid of Kitchener. Special grandmother of Trevor, Erin (Rob), Carey, Tim (Jami), Amanda (Mark), Jeff (Kelly), Jenna (Scott), Lisa (David), Kyle, Nathan (Lisa), Drew and Adam. Proud great grandmother of Owen, Callie, Jack, Lily, Zola, Tia, Deja, Grayven, Grady, Chloe, William, Graham, Cruz, Vance, Jacob, and Avery. Dear sister of Pat (Ross) Shaw of Grimsby, Betty (Jim) Ruland of Kitchener, Jim (Diane) Stevenson of Calgary and sisters-in-law Gladys Stevenson, Isabella McLellan, Ruth McLellan and Shirley McLellan.
