Notes

  • Obituary: Roberta Viola Bernadine (Eaton) Bishop \endash 88, of Coldbrook, passed away peacefully in the QEII-Halifax Infirmary, Halifax, on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. Born in Berwick, she was a daughter of the late Arthur and Hazel (Saltzman) Eaton. Prior to retirement, Roberta worked for MT&T, where she created lifelong friendships. Roberta was caring and compassionate to all those around her, and always put the needs of others first. She had a great sense of humour and was always up for an adventure. She was an avid music fan, especially for The Rolling Stones, who she got the opportunity to see at the young age of 70, from the very front row. Her love for the Montreal Canadiens could be heard as well during a game, especially when they scored. She was passionate about the time she spent working with the Kentville Historical Society and the Burial Grounds Care Society of Kings County. Roberta is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Gerald "Jerry" Bishop, Evergreen Home for Special Care, Kentville; children, Michael Bishop (Leanne), Wilmot and Charmaine Bishop (Glen Fitzgerald), Coldbrook; beloved grandchildren, Kelsey (Samson) Learn, Staci Bishop, Jessica MacQuarrie and Alexis MacQuarrie; and sweet great-granddaughter, Avia Bishop. She was predeceased by her parents; as well as several aunts and uncles, with whom she was very close throughout their lives. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation, by request. A Celebration of Roberta's life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. A livestream of the service will be available.
