It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Philip Smith Pedersen, age70, of Upper Nappan. Philip passed away at the Northumberland Hall in Amherst on Tuesday, December 6, 2022 after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. 

Born in Amherst, NS, he was a son of the late Erik and Leona (Bacon) Pedersen.

He attended NSAC and worked on the family farm with his brother, Larry, for many years. Philip took great pride in agriculture and served on many boards and committees over the years. He was also involved in snow removal for the local malls for over 40 years. He was a member of Trinity St. Stephen's United Church. Philip enjoyed the outdoors; camping, motorcycling, skiing and especially team cattle penning. 

Time with his family and friends was important to him. He loved his family and was extremely proud of his children.

Philip will be dearly missed by his wife of 29 years, Paula (Gould); son Murray (Heather); daughters Melanie and Ellen Williams (Reagan Seidler); sister Linda (Charles) Austin; brother Larry (Janet); his very special grandson, Noah, who he dearly loved as well many nieces and nephews.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Jones Family Funeral Centre, Amherst, NS, (902 667 8777) where a memorial service will take place Saturday, December 10, 2022 at 1pm with Rev. Susan Gamblin officiating.
