Hildegard Rosenberg December 29 1928 - June 8 2013

ADAM, Mary (née Canapini) Peacefully, Tuesday June 18th, 2013 at Pioneer Manor, at the age of 96. Beloved wife of the late Paul Adam. Daughter of the late Emilia (Ceccarelli) and the late Ermetto Canapini. Loving mother of Paul “Chip” Adam (Jo-Anne Beauparlant) of StCharles, Pierre “Peter” Adam (Peggy Damboise), of Sudbury, André “Andy” Adam (Marcia) of Nelson British Columbia and Emy-Anne Adam (Denis Constantineau) of Sudbury. Loving “Noni” to her grandchildren Mark and Noel McKinney of Indiana, Christopher Adam of Copenhagen, Paul Adam of Vancouver, Brent Beauparlant of Maxville, Adam and Isabelle Constantineau of Sudbury. Also fondly remembered by Kyle, Josh and Braeden Mace. She was predeceased by her sister Elena Fiorotto (Louis, predeceased) and her brothers Dino (Mary, predeceased) and Alcido “Archie” (Millie, predeceased). She will be missed by her dear friend Evelyn Constantineau. A special thanks to the staff of the Scenic Wing at Pioneer Manor for the compassionate care Mary received. “So much soul for one little person.” Mary was an active volunteer and proud life member of the Caruso Club Ladies’ Auxiliary. Family was the cornerstone of Mary’s life. A hairdresser by training and an avid gardener, she was happiest when she was surrounded by family in her kitchen while she prepared food. Mary faced adversity with determination and was fiercely loyal to those she loved. Her greatest source of pride by far was her grandchildren. She has left an indelible mark on all those who knew her. Donations (by cheque only) to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.

Information

New to Town? It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Texearle “Tex” Mowatt, 85, on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at Mountain Lake Seniors Community in Nelson. Tex was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on September 27, 1927 to Mabel and Arthur Dore. At the age of 18 he moved from Vancouver to Nelson where he met and later married his one true love, Edith Monty on August 6, 1949. In 1950 Tex purchased a small typewriter service business which he expanded over the years into J.T. Mowatt & Co. Ltd. to service the Kootenay and Okanagan regions and to include sales of business machines, office furniture and supplies. He constructed many homes and office buildings in the Nelson area. Tex was a very dynamic, self-taught, generous and hardworking individual, devoted to his family, friends and community. He served terms as President of Silver King Ski Club, President of the Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce, President of the President’s Club, Alderman and Mayor of Nelson, as well as volunteering countless hours to community service and numerous organizations. Tex was one of the original key figures in planning and promoting the Nelson Aquatic Center, the Waterfront Recreational Development, and was instrumental in the founding, development and continued success of Whitewater Ski Area. Tex was a Boy Scout leader and coached basketball and Little League Baseball. He liked to fish, sail, golf, bike, ski, snowmobile, ballroom and square dance, play crib, chess, poker and was an avid reader. He advised and assisted many people with financial, life and personal matters. Tex always felt very blessed and thankful to live in Canada, especially in the West Kootenays on his farm in Crescent Valley where he enjoyed the hard work, fresh air and exercise. He particularly loved riding over the fields on his dependable horse Choc accompanied by his faithful dog Cha Cha. Tex will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years, Edith; daughter, Gaye Isenor; sons, John (Karess) Mowatt and Earl (Gerry) Mowatt; daughter, Jeanette (Nick) Rilkoff; grandchildren, Lareena, Vanessa and Kimberley Rilkoff, Evan Isenor, and Samantha Mowatt; brother, Art (Grace); many relatives and friends. Tex was predeceased by his parents; eldest son, Grant; son-in-law, Glen Isenor; brothers, Stan and Bob; and sister, Kay. The family wishes to express a special thank you to Dr. Kirsten, Dr. Janz, the nurses and staff of Mountain Lake Seniors Community and Kootenay Lake Hospital. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice. At Tex’s request the cremation and memorial will be private.
