Nancy Leigh Chittick

Nancy Leigh Chittick - 47, of Coldbrook, Kings County, passed away suddenly Wednesday, September 21, 2016. Born in Kentville, she was the daughter of Cyril and Penny (Lindsay) White. She was an avid photographer and enjoyed capturing scenes of her family, nature, especially early morning sunrises, and Landmark East School events. She was a loving wife, mother, and daughter. Nancy graduated from Kings County Academy (up on the hill) and from Nova Scotia Community College Kentville with a Funeral Directors and Embalmers License. She was a graduate of the first funeral services course. Following graduation she worked in the family funeral service until becoming a full time mother. She developed a passion for boxing and initiated a boxing club in Berwick where she was inducted into the Berwick Sports Hall of Fame for her guidance, leadership and training abilities. In 2010, she lost the lower portion of her left leg to illness but persevered and moved on. The Halifax Herald published an article on her entitled "One Tough Cookie", describing her attitude of persistence and not giving up. She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Robert "Bob"; two sons, Zachery and Kieran; her parents; two brothers, Jeffrey (Deanna), Porters Lake; Gregory, Kentville; two nieces, Emma and Laura; four nephews, Connor, Cameron, RJ and Spencer; mother and father in law, Dick and Margaret Chittick, Dartmouth; brother in law, Jeffrey Chittick (Ray), Dartmouth.
