Obituary for Shawn Bernard
BERNARD, Shawn Marie - Age 54, Maitland. It is with great sadness we announce the sudden death of our beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt on September 6, 2021 in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Shawn was born on July 12, 1967 in Truro to Carol Martin (Tomlinson) and the late Albert Bernard.
She is survived by her mother, Carol (Dean) Martin; step mother, Mary Bernard; children, Greg (Tasha), Adree and Trent (Emily); step daughter, Laetitia (Jeremy); grandchildren, Brea, Jack, Cole, Alexa, Clara and Adessa; brothers, Darren (Kim), Travis (Nancy), Scott, Joe, Josh (Liza), Jeremiah, Peter (Faye) and Brian. She was predeceased by her father, Albert Bernard, both maternal and paternal grandparents and granddaughter, Ava.
Shawn graduated from Nova Scotia Teachers College and began her teaching career at CEC. She was an inspired teacher who cared deeply about her students in and out of the classroom. She furthered her career by taking her masters at Acadia University. She finished her career at Hants East Rural High as Vice Principal. Shawn will forever be known for her selfless love and compassion. She spent many weekends at her scrapbooking retreats, creating keepsakes for family and friends. She was a devoted and passionate family member but when it came to grandbabies, it was evident to all that this was where her true love and joy lay.
Although we will deeply miss her loving chats and hugs, we are comforted in knowing she is reunited with her angel, Ava Ruth Marie and is embracing eternal “lovins”.
Visitation will be held in the Millbrook Community Hall, 72 Church Road, Millbrook, First Nation beginning on Thursday, September 9th until time of Funeral Mass on Saturday, September 11th at 10:00am in Sacred Heart Church, Millbrook with Father Dariusz Miskowicz officiating. COVID-19 restrictions will be in effect. A Salité has been organized via social media. Donations may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association. Arrangements have been entrusted to Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro, NS. Online condolences may be sent to Shawn’s family by visiting www.ColchesterCommunity.com
