It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Glenna Giffin, age 70, of Amherst and formerly of Hantsport, NS on October 13, 2024 at the Cumberland Regional Healthcare Centre following a brief illness.

Glenna's passion for children led her to a career as an Educational Assistant.  Throughout her time within the schools, she touched the lives of many children.  She adored all of her students and her co-workers.

For the past 21 years, she took on her most cherished role as Nana.  Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she found immense joy and purpose in being part of theirs.  She loved them deeply and treasured every moment spent with them.

She is survived by her loving spouse of 49 years, Larry Giffin, as well as her four children, Shawn (Irene), Sheri (Dan), Kim (Nicholas), and Lori (Chris).

She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Karter, Kennedy, Dale, Maddy, Vaughn, Amelia, Nora and Kainan.

In addition, she leaves behind her four brothers, many extended family and lifelong friends as well as her little dog, Margarita.

Besides her parents, Mac and Mary Kennedy, she was predeceased by her mother-in law Millie Giffin, and her grandson, Leo.

Arrangements are under the care and guidance of the Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS (902-667-8777).  A private family gathering will be held at a later date.

Donations in Glenna's memory may be made to the Lillian Albon Animal Shelter.

Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by visiting the online memorial at www.jonesfamilyfuneralcentre.ca or through the Jones Family Funeral Centre Facebook page.
