Marian D. Cameron

1923-2014

Marian D. Cameron
CAMERON, Marian D, age 90. It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Marian Douglas Cameron, formerly of Bridgewater, December 3, 2014 at Rosedale Home for Special Care, New Germany.

Marian was born on December 30, 1923 in Northport, NS, the seventh of eight children of Harriet (Brownell) and Harold Jodrey.

In her mid-thirties Marian moved to Bridgewater and made her home there until recently when she moved to Rosedale Home for Special Care, New Germany, a wonderful second home. Marian was active in the Bridgewater United Church, serving in a number of capacities on both the UCW and the Church Council. She was also one of the early members of the Dawson Memorial Hospital’s “Spring Fling” fund raising team and subsequently became a dedicated volunteer for the Dawson Daisy (South Shore Regional Hospital) for another 20 plus years. Marian enjoyed playing bridge and rummoli with her friends and in her later years, once she no longer “wintered” in Florida, she enjoyed the fellowship of the United Church’s Happy Gang and Friendship Club, and they enjoyed her famous chocolate cake.

She is predeceased by her husband, Frank Barkhouse (1964); her husband, Ralph Cameron (1989); her son, Harold Wallace (2013); her siblings, Col. David Jodrey, Robson Jodrey, Dr. Louise Hagadorn, Isobel Fitzpatrick, Anne Ross and her step-son, Garnet Cameron.

She is survived by her children, Richard Wallace (Robin), Armstrong, BC; Donald Barkhouse (Nancy Silver), Tsawwassen, BC; Mary-Ann Hiltz (Kyle), Mahone Bay; step-daughter, Ruth Michasiw (Tony) and step-daughter-in-law, Carol Cameron, both of Georgetown, Ont., and not to be forgotten, her “second daughter” and dear friend, Susan Nauss (Karl), Mahone Bay.

The number of dear friends who thought of Marian as a second mother is as large as her big heart. Marian is also survived by her grandchildren; David, Mark, Tara, Debbie, and Ethan; several great grandchildren; her sisters, Laura “Honey” Barkhouse, New Germany; Florence Hazel (Rockwell), Wolfville and brother-in-law Dr. Clem Hagadorn, Boca Raton. Marian is also survived by several nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and a few great, great nieces and nephews.

A special thank-you to the staff of Ridgewood Retirement Home who took such great care of Marian prior to her move to Rosedale Home for Special Care in New Germany. A tremendous thank-you to the staff and the residents of Rosedale Home for Special Care for surrounding her with love and compassion during her last years with us, we will always be grateful for all of the heartfelt kindnesses extended to Marian and our family. We would also like to acknowledge Marian’s dear friend, Dr. Diane Edmonds who provided wonderful care and friendship during the last several years.
