Angeline Mary PETERS

McNUTT (Peters), Angeline Mary McNUTT (Peters), Angeline Mary - "Our dear little angel" died peacefully at home in Halifax at the age of 103. Having been tenderly cared for by her youngest daughter, Marion Cranston and lovingly supported by her daughters, Alice Leduc and Helen Russell, and her son, Ernest, she left this world to join her beloved husband, Ernest Linwood McNutt (d. 1989), on the anniversary of his birthday; her son, Charles (d.1958), and her grandson, Richard Russell (d.1972). A little lady with a mighty heart, Angie's life centered around her family and the church. Born in L'Ardoise, Cape Breton, in 1904, one of 16 children (not counting nine stepsiblings), she loved to dance. A long-time resident of Halifax's historic hydrostone neighbourhood, Angie raised five children and was adored by her 18 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and 10 great great-grandchildren. She was very active in the Liberal Party. Angie was the embodiment of what it means to be a Christian. She was a dedicated member of the Holy Childhood Association and received a plaque honouring 50 years of helping with the missions to third world countries. As an active volunteer with the Red Cross some of her most precious memories were of her work with the mentally challenged. She volunteered with the Sisters of Service, interpreting French at Pier 21 for many years and also gave her time cooking meals for Hope Cottage. In recognition for her work she received the Medal of Merit from the Arch Diocese of Halifax and, in September 2002, she was presented with the Certificate of Faithfulness to St. Joseph's Parish. Her dedication to St. Joseph's was further recognized when her image was used in a stained glass window commissioned to adorn the church. In April 2007 she was honoured by the Catholic Women's League with a medal marking 50 years of service. In addition to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren, she is survived by her sister, Mary Bowser, Chezzetcook. Angie will rest in J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 2666 Windsor St. Halifax. Visitation will be on Friday, February 15, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The funeral mass will take place on Saturday, February 16, at 10 a.m. in St. Brendan's Chapel, Stadacona.
