Colleen Joyce Poirier (nee Moore), 70 of Dalhousie, went into the light on June 17, 2013 after a brief illness.

Predeceased by her loving father Stephen Lewis Moore, her mother Elsie (McRae) of Haldimand, Gaspe QC and by her brothers Lewis, Hal and Glen.

She is survived by her loving husband Edward Poirier of Dalhousie her children Mitchell Poirier9Jackie) of Moncton, Monica de Moss (Shawn) of Dalhousie and Angela Taderma (Steve) of Dartmouth, her sisters Sharon Moore Baird, Cambridge Ontario and Joyce Smith (George) of Rothesay, and by her brothers Sheldon Moore (Patricia) of Cambridge, ON and Sherman McRae (Della) of Waterloo, ON. She will be sorely missed by her grandchildren Braden Poirier (Jennhifer) of BC, Steven de Moss (Donna) of Halifax, Alyss Gehl (Ryden) of Saskatoon and Gracie Taderma of Dartmouth. Colleen enjoyed two great granddaughters Zoey and Elizabeth.

 Colleen moved to Dalhousie in 1964 after several brief visits. She loved this community and appreciated the simple things in life. Colleen was happiest enjoying all outdoor activities including snomobiling, snowshoeing and walking. She derived great pleasure in watching the playful antics of the numerous birds at her feeders. She loved the beach and in her younger years, would be one of the first to jump up and go fishing when conditions were right. Colleen was also one of the first to run away upon any bear sightings and she ws fond of relating stories from these and other excursions with her dear husband.

 She loved to play TV Bingo and would sit most evenings and curse the bingo callers and anyone who didnt know better than to call between 6;15 and 8;00 pm. Colleen loved life and certainly did everything she could to live it to the fullest. In the words of her youngest daughter "God help the poor angel that tries to tell her that Heaven is a smoke-free environment". She was a down to earth woman who knew how to laugh at herself. She enjoyed life to the fullest and was very proud of her family, Colleen will be deeply missed.

Also missing him is his sister Gayle Lordon, many nieces, nephews, and cousins in Upsalquitch and across Canada.

I can see him striding through God's Garden Gate to be welcomed by Anderson (Da), Myrtle (Mum), Donnie, Howard, Joan, Shirley and little Sharon Rae. What a wonderful reunion it must be.

He was born in the country, mastered every challenge, moved to Toronto to engineer the running of the Constellation Hotel, joined CIBC to manage building maintenance/signage across Canada and then moved back home to the woods in 1992.

He never backed down but the Lord sent him an obstacle he couldn't overcome , and then extended His hand of Grace to bring him Home.
