It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Beverly Dale Veinot, age 88, of Amherst, NS. Beverly passed away peacefully on Monday, July 13, 2026 at Northumberland Hall surrounded by her family. 

Born in Parrsboro, NS, she was the daughter of the late Axel and Lavonah (Donnelly) Yorke.

Beverly was a long time quilter with Quilter Expressions.  She loved to bowl and got a 300!  She played guitar and was in a ukulele group in Sackville.  In her younger years, she enjoyed her motorcycle and time on the ski-doo. A Toronto Bluejays fan, she watched many a game on television. She was a member of the Christ Church and St. Monica's Guild. She was a school teacher for over 30 years, many of those years spent at River Hebert Elementary School. Teaching was more then a profession, it was a calling and the lives she touched stand as a lasting testament to her compassion and dedication. 

Beverly will be dearly missed by her children Melanie (Bill) Wolfe, Amherst, NS and Tim (Karen) Veinot, Dartmouth, NS; their father Robert "Bob" Veinot.  She will also be greatly missed by grandchildren, Turner (Lindsay) Wolfe, Wilmot, NS, and Hannah Veinot (CJ) and Benjamin Veinot (Jessie) all of Darmouth, NS, as well as great grandchildren Anderson and Makenna Wolfe, Wilmot, NS.

She will also be missed by special friends; Rita Linney, Brenda Melanson, Beryl Glover, and her Hand and Foot buddies Gail and Dennis Morrissey and her travel buddies Donna and Tim Ripley and many other friends. 

Besides her parents, she was predeceased by sister Sylvia (Joe)Muloin, brothers Floden, Pat, Ricky, Lawrence and Gregory Charles (in infancy), as well as special friends Beverly Clarke and Eleanor Fromm and her furry friends Starr and Tiny.
