Clarence Malcolm "Bud" Power

1938-2018

Clarence Malcolm "Bud" Power

Clarence Malcolm "Bud" Power – 79, of South Berwick passed away on Wednesday, May 16, 2018 at home.  Born in Murphy’s Cove, he was a son of the late Raymond and Leona (Murphy) Power.  He will be missed by his loving wife Lillian; daughters, Darlene Allen (Danny) and Sheri Power; step-son, Robert Neron (Cindy); a brother, Ronald (Kathleen) Power; grandchildren, Vanessa, Jacob, Colby, Zachary and Madison; step-grandchildren, Robert, Annastascia and Brittany; great grandchild and "his little buddy", Geneva; step great grandchild, Colby. "Bud", fondly called Papa by many, brought smiles to all that knew him, always having a story or joke to share and just a friendly face that said hello to everyone. Papa was a hard worker and his wife and daughters never needed or wanted for anything and when the grandchildren came along, it was the same for them. He retired in the Annapolis Valley, but his heart was always in Murphy’s Cove. He loved going to visit and always considered it home. After retirement, you could always find him tinkering with something out in his garage that he built, with the help of his grandchildren who were quite little at the time. As he aged, you could always find him sitting out on the deck watching the birds, he especially loved the humming birds when they visited.  We, the family, would like to give special thanks to everyone who touched his life, but especially to Dr. Puetz, a kind and compassionate person and doctor who gave Papa the best care; VON nursing and home support, who he loved to tease, who showed him much respect in their care for him; Katrina from the palliative care team, who helped both Papa and us in his last week, is an extraordinary person; the nurses who drew his blood every week that treated him extra special;  Laura and Joann, the staff at Larry’s Pharmacy; the nurses and doctors at Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville; the EHS paramedics that brought him home to us to live out his final days.  He was so happy to be home. Thanks to his best friend David who, in Papa’s last moments of life, led us in song that comforted him and took him home where his brothers, Lloyd and Herb; his sister Vera and his infant son, Baby Power, were waiting with open arms to welcome him. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation by request. The funeral service, followed by a reception will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, May 26, 2018 in Christ Anglican Church, Berwick. Burial will take place at a later date.  Donations in memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Cancer Society or the Valley Regional Hospital – Carey Me Program (in support of palliative care in the home). Cremation arrangements have been entrusted to White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services Kentville.
