ORA JORDAN

A graveside service for the late Ora Jordan, 81, formerly of The Ponds, Pictou County, was held August 17 in Murray’s Point Cemetery, The Ponds, with Reverend Gail Murdock officiating. Mrs. Jordan died August 10, 2018, in the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home, Antigonish. Born in New Glasgow, she was a daughter of the late Orville and Anna (Murdock) Mason. She led a quiet life and reading was her passion. She enjoyed listening to country music, watching the History Channel, cooking, and visits from family and friends. Her happiest working years were spent in Port Hawkesbury as manager of the Bake Shop at Sobeys, where she was known as ‘The Old Doll.’ She retired from there to help her brother with his new business, the LBR Variety Store, and her later years were spent caring for her husband and mother until their passings. She maintained strong courage and faith until the end. She is survived by two daughters, Leanne Goodwin (Anthony Daemen), Meadow Green; Wanda (Gordon) DeCoste, Havre Boucher; two sons, Paul, Daniel, The Ponds; five grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; two brothers, Calvin (Chris) Mason, The Ponds; Lewis (Helen) Mason, Merigomish. She was predeceased by her husband, Orman ‘Nonnie.’ Memorial donations may be made to the Murray’s Point Cemetery Fund. Online condolences: www.clcurry.com
