Sarah "Sadie" Gibson (nee Stewart), 93, of Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2021. Her Irish spirit and spunk will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Sadie was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on March 22, 1928, the daughter to Mary and Alexander Stewart. She married Bill in 1955, and as newlyweds, they emigrated to Canada in 1956. They settled and lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where Bill built his business. They were founding members of Westwood Presbyterian Church in Winnipeg, and enjoyed many years of membership with the Winnipeg Irish Association.
Sadie joined her daughter and family in Nova Scotia after Bill’s passing in 1998. She enjoyed living on the South Shore, and being fully involved in her grandson’s lives. She was a loving and devoted grandmother right from the day they were born. Sadie was a member of the Bridgewater United Church, and enjoyed bowling with the ladies’ league in Bridgewater.
Sadie is survived by her loving daughter, Sharon (Dave) Mitchell, Blockhouse, NS, and grandsons, Ryan Mitchell, Halifax, NS and Matthew Mitchell, Blockhouse, NS. She is predeceased by her beloved husband of 43 years, William "Bill" Gibson, and brother Alex Stewart.
The family would like to express their gratitude for the wonderful care Sadie received while living at Ryan Hall these last five years. Their support and kindness will never be forgotten by Sadie’s family.
Cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held to remember her. Arrangements are under the care of the R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville, NS.
