It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Launa Roberta Dickie, on Friday, May 26 at the Cumberland Regional Health Center.

Born in River Philip, NS, Launa was the daughter of the late Byron and Rachel (Power) Matheson.

Launa was an amazing mom, grandma/nana, and great grandma. She loved family get togethers, be it a holiday dinner or an outdoor gathering.  Launa was a huge Blue Jay fan from the very beginning, even attending a few games. 

Launa will be dearly missed by her children; Marg, Milly (Don), Tom (Peg), Wendy (Derrick), Dora (Rob) and daughter-in-law Chris; 19 grandchildren, and 30 great grandchildren; sister Ione, and several nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Thomas, her sons Owen, Bob and Russ; her daughter and son-in-law Linda and Mike; her brothers, Malcolm, Ray and Cliff and sisters, Thelma, Orisy, Muriel, Leona, and Freda.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS (902-667-8777) where a funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 10th, 2023 at 3PM. A private family burial will follow.

Donations in Launa's memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Diabetic Association.
