CAMPBELL, Kenneth R.
77, of Parrsboro, Cumberland Co. With heavy hearts we announce the death of a beloved husband, adored father and very special Pa. Ken was born in 1931 in Clarksville to John Reginald and Edna (Bulmer) Campbell. He was the fourth youngest of five children, Joyce (Scott Keith), Rae (Winston Meehan), Bernard (Ada) and Malcolm. He spent many happy hours being a part of his many nieces and nephews' lives. He will now be able to once again be with his mom and dad and his brothers. He married Joyce (Wilton) who he met in Toronto and quickly decided that she was the love of his life. They had two children in Toronto. David was the first to arrive in 1962, followed by Diane in 1964. He worked in Toronto for a period after they were married and then decided that it was time to go back to Nova Scotia where he joined his brother Bernard in the grocery business. He stayed in Upper Rawdon until 1972 when an opportunity to purchase a store in Parrsboro arose. He moved to Parrsboro and opened Campbell's Red & White. He built a very strong business with his best friend, Joyce. He loved his store and serving the public. His devotion to the community was endless as he held offices in the Parrsboro Lions Club, Parrsboro & District Board of Trade, and Trinity United Church. His volunteer efforts never went unnoticed as he and his very dear friend Mel (Sinn) could be seen very early summer mornings out watering the town flowers or barbequing chicken on band day with Ron (Levy) or tending the canteen with Elmer (Ling) during Old Home Week. He sold his business, Ken's Grocery & Meat Market, to his daughter Diane in May 1993. He was happy about this as he could still go in and straighten shelves and talk with everyone. He was happy to have the extra time to devote to his love of gardening and landscaping at his home in Greenhill. He was also very happy to have the extra time to spend with his grandchildren. Malcolm was the first to arrive for David and Audra, then Christopher and Sarah from Diane followed by a brother for Malcolm and Nicholas. His grandchildren meant the world to him and he was their Pa. He loved to rock and hold them and was very involved and a special part of their lives. He had many health issues in his life and showed himself to be a true fighter. He overcame pancreatitis, diabetes and open heart surgery. He spent his last year at Gables with Alzheimer disease but never stopped working in his store, gardening or caring for people. He always had a smile for us and was affectionately called 'Papa' by the staff. Visitation will be held 2-5 p.m. Sunday in Smith's Funeral Home, Parrsboro. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Monday, May 18 in Trinity United Church, Parrsboro, Rev. Sandra Riddell officiating. We would respectively request family flowers only.

COOK, Lyell William Martell
Age 20. Lyell's spirit soared into the heavens on Saturday, May 9, 2009. He was transformed as a result of a tragic electrical accident in India. Lyell, our sweet son, was on a spiritual journey which led him to a level of understanding of the meaning of life that most will never attain. He approached his own life with a deep understanding of one basic principle: that there is LOVE and there is love's shadow, FEAR. He overcame his own fear and helped others overcome theirs, allowing love to flow in and take its place. He had the courage to share his knowledge and insights of his spiritual journey and thereby spread his love to others. His smile exuded light and love to all. Lyell gave thanks daily for the abundance that the universe had bestowed upon him. His simple humility, the strength of his character and the power of his love captured the hearts and minds of everyone he met. His happiness with simply being alive spread joy to others. We, his parents, feel privileged to have been part of Lyell's life. He is where he was meant to be. Lyell is survived by his parents, Harry Cook and Anne Martell; his brother, Jonathan Cook, and sister Jennifer (Cook) Kamphuys; grandmother, Patricia Martell; uncle, John Martell; aunts, Heather Martell and Jenny Costelo; uncle, Leonard Cook; aunts, Joyce (Cook) MacNeil and Shirley (Cook) Pollard, as well as many cousins, including Tami, Kelly, Ashley and Amanda. See facebook group "The road to recovery for Lyell Cook" for Lyell's amazing array of friends. On Monday, May 18 there will be a small prayer ceremony on Micou's Island at the end of Indian Point Rd. in Glenhaven at 10 a.m. followed by a celebration of Lyell's life from 12 - 6 p.m. in the Shambala Centre, 13495 Peggy's Cove Rd., Upper Tantallon. As Lyell would have liked, in lieu of flowers, please conduct an anonymous and random act of kindness to a perfect stranger. "Only one thing will make a soul complete, and that thing is love."
