Sarty, Minnie Laura – Age 91 of Bridgewater passed away peacefully on June 25, 2026. Born in Prosser Brook, NB on October 25, 1934, Minnie was the daughter of the late William and Helen (Geldart) Ross. Her family moved to Big Harbour in Cape Breton when she was 2 years old and she always spoke very proudly of her Cape Breton heritage. Before her marriage she worked for 5 years at Stone’s Drug Store in Baddeck. She and her husband, Stanton, were members of the Bridgewater Baptist Church. Minnie and Stan enjoyed many years of summers with their trailer, most notably at their seasonal Yogi Bear Resort site in Kingston for 38 years. They also enjoyed many years as members of the LaHave River Ramblers Square Dancing Club. Minnie was a volunteer at the South Shore Regional Hospital for 21 years and was recognized as Volunteer of the Year during one of those years. Her sewing skills became a lifelong hobby resulting in closets full of dresses and other items she made from scratch. She will always be remembered for her strong love for and devotion to her family.
Minnie is survived by her sons Vaughn, Truro; Dwight (Beverley), Halifax; daughter Joan, Bridgewater; sisters Jessie (Lloyd), Baddeck; Linda (Peter), Lower Sackville; nieces, Janice and Dale; nephew Derek; 4 grandchildren, Nicolas, Chad (Samantha), Alexander (Shannon) and Alyson (Peter-Blair) and 2 great-grandchildren, Quinn and Lennon.
She was predeceased by her husband Stanton and her brother Jack.
