Janet and I worked together as teachers and friends in the Liverpool School years ago. The Teachers’ College in Truro graduated many highly accomplished and dedicated teachers to serve in the schools in Nova Scotia, and Janet, was one of the best of these. Nearly one thousand grade five children were fortunate enough to have Janet as their teacher during her tenure in Liverpool and Milton over time, and it is in their success that her legacy lives on. Bob and I sincerely express to her family our sincere condolences during this very difficult time.

Dear Paul and Family, So sorry to hear the passing of your mom. I hold very fond memories of both Mr. & Mrs. Cameron.
Mrs. Cameron will always hold a special place in my heart. She has help me through the most difficult time of life. being stuck in a body cast for the entire school year was painful enough and she made sure the other children wasn’t poking fun or she would set them straight. straight to the office they would go!! She certainly has made a difference in my life. RIP Mrs. Cameron
Jane
Dear Paul and family,
I was a neighbour of your mother and we spent many good times in my kitchen, having a coffee and blueberry muffins she baked. She cherished her blueberry bushes and vegetable garden and always shared a portion with her neighbours. Many a story she would tell me of her growing up years and spoke often of Neil. She looked forward to your weekend home visits, tilling up the garden and cutting the hedge for her. I am happy to see from the pictures that she had the time to play and know her grandaughter. She was very proud when the little girl was born. She had a good life and enjoyed living.
Terry Broome
Paul, Marilyn and Hannah,
Paul, Junie and I wish to send our sympathies on your mother’s recent passing. I’m sure she will be sadly missed but fondly remembered. The picture shown with her obituary was beautiful.

I was saddened to read of Janet’s passing. In 1962-63, my second year of teaching, I had the pleasure of teaching Grade 5 with her in Liverpool. She was a wonderful role model and willingly shared her expertise for which I was very grateful. Although we did not keep in touch, I often thought of her fondly. My sincere condolences to the family.
Arthur Malone
So sad to hear of Mrs Cameron Passing. She was by far the best teacher I ever had, I remember my first day of grade five, her first words to us was no one fail this year no matter what it takes. I have carried that statement for many years, and have applied it to all I do. take comfort in all the she gave to so many, and knowing she is in a better place, God Bless you All. Arthur Malone
