James Edison Cameron Obituary

86, Hilden. It is with profound sadness that the family of James Edison Cameron announce the passing of their hero on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Halifax, Jimmie was raised by his beloved mother, the late Betty, Cameron, in Springhill with his older, siblings.

After proudly serving in Germany in the Canadian Army with the Royal Canadian Engineers, Jimmie returned to Springhill. There he eventually met the love of his life, the late Myrna (Marshall) and they were married for over 58 years before her passing.

Jim is survived by his beloved daughters, who think he is the best man they ever knew, Beth and Shyrl (David). Grampie also leaves his much cherished grandchildren, Amy (Tim), Heather (Don), TJ, Adam (Melissa), Ashlyn, Cameron (Cassie), Caitlyn (Scott) and Dalton. Grampie's newest many loves were his 22 great grandchildren. Also mourning his loss are his in-laws, Leona "Nonie" (late Wendell), Sherry (Bill), Bill and his many nieces, nephews and cousins.

The last surviving member of his immediate family, Jim was predeceased by his sisters, Agnes "Nikki" (Harry), Mary "Dot" (Edward) and his brothers, Leo "Sonny", (Margie), Sterling "Sweet" (Betty), John "Junior", (Net), and Neil (Janet).

The family is extremely grateful to the Victorian Order of Nurses for their many excellent home care workers (CCAs) and nurses, including Jim's favourite's - they know who they are. We cannot say thank you appropriately enough to the doctors, nurses and staff of CEHHC for their superb care of Jim in these last few years, and especially in his final days and hours. If so desired, donations in Jim's memory to Canadian Cancer Society or Diabetes, Canada are welcomed.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
