McIntosh; Constance Marie

September 27, 2016 26 Condolences

Connieinframe 1

McINTOSH – Constance Marie, 74, of Caledonia and Toronto, ON. It is with a heavy heart that I bring news of the passing of my beloved wife, Connie. Connie left us peacefully in my grateful arms and surrounded by her family on August 7, 2016 in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool, NS after a battle with cancer. Connie had a heart so big and a soul so sweet as to make the heavens ache.
Connie was born in Maitland Bridge, NS in 1942, a daughter of the late Isabel (Ford) Lohnes. She grew up with all the rural beauty this province has to offer. After high school, she entered nursing training at the Victoria General Hospital in Halifax and graduated as an R.N. in August 1963. A born nurse, Con spent the better part of her life tending to the sick and elderly. We met, fell in love and were married in 1964 while I was based at RCAF Greenwood. A nurse and a flyboy, apple pie and cheese. We leapt off the matrimonial (as Con put it) and entered upon a wondrous 52 year adventure together. Con gave meaning to my existence and now it all seems like a blink of an eye.
Along with husband Bill, Connie is survived by her sister Sandra Carver and her husband Robbie, her brother Paul Lohnes and his wife Edie, her sister in law Peggy Kelly and sister in law Janet Stoddart and her husband Bill and brother in law David McIntosh and his wife Jean as well as many nieces and nephews.
Arrangements are under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool, NS. A celebration of Connie’s life will take place Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. in Maitland Bridge Community Hall with a reception to follow. A private family committal will take place at a later time. No flowers by request, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. To share memories and condolences, please visit www.chandlersfuneral.com.
“My heart breaks to say farewell to you, bebe, you were the light of my life. I’ll look for the extra twinkle in the night sky and know it’s your kiss goodbye.”

Be strong, Bill and please know that I will be thinking of you.

    I met Connie when we were both nurses at the Soldiers Memorial Hospital in Middleton, Nova Scotia in the mid 60’s. She was such fun to be with, Connie had a pet rabbit that loved to nibble on uncooked spaghetti; I have never forgotten that amusing fact. I am so sorry to hear of her passing.

    To Bill, Sandra, Paul and Families; So sorry to hear of Connie’s passing. When l was young and went to school on the bus l got to know Connie very well and liked her. The last time l saw her was the day her grandfather died. She was very up set because he had never gotten to see her in her new nurses uniform. She will get to see her precious grandfather again as guaranteed in the scripture at John 5:28,29. It has brought comfort to a great many people knowing their loved ones will receive a resurrection. Also please hang onto all your many memories and share them with each other. Mary and l send all our best wishes and hope you soon get healing for this great wound. With love Del

    What a truly beautiful tribute to Connie!
    Our condolences to Bill & family and to Sandra & Paul & their families.
    If there is a positive note, it is that Sandra could be in charge of her care in her final weeks and that Bill could be with her as well.
    Our thoughts & prayers continue to be with you as Bill recovers from surgery.
    Respectfully
    Jim & Mary

    To Connie’s Family;
    Please accept my sincere condolences. My memory of Connie as a fellow nurse at Soldier’s Memorial Hospital are of her happy, cheerful professional demeanor and also of the horrific accident she survived while in the Annapolis Valley. She has been a survivor and all who know her truly admire that about her.
