Obituary for Nancy Louise Duplain (Teasdale)
DUPLAIN (Teasdale), Nancy Louise – Cornwall (formerly Gander, NL & Dartmouth, NS)
It is with great sadness that the family of Nancy Louise (Teasdale) Duplain, age 71, announces her passing on April 19, 2023 at Cornwall Community Hospital, surrounded by her family. Beloved wife of the late William Duplain. She will be deeply missed by her son Marc and daughter Jennifer (Emanuel) Lauzon and her two grandsons, Hunter Duplain and Jake Lauzon. She was predeceased by her parents, Clyde Fulton and Shirley Anne (Forbes) Teasdale, her brother John, and brother-in-law, David. She will be sadly missed by her sister Anne, her stepmother Virginia (Ginny), her Duplain in-laws Richard (late Norma), Robert (Peggy), Paul (Manon). She will also be missed by her Uncle Murray (Donna) Forbes and Aunt Margaret Teasdale, her daughter-in-law Melissa Denneny, many nieces, nephews, cousins and wonderful, caring friends. Born in Halifax on August 16, 1951, Nancy lived in Dartmouth until her marriage. She graduated from Dartmouth High School in 1969 and spent four years at Acadia University in the B.Sc. (Home Economics) program, where she met her future husband, Bill. Prior to her marriage she worked at Maritime Tel & Tel (now Bell Aliant) in Halifax. Following her marriage, she moved to Gander NL where she worked at the Canada Employment Centre until the birth of her son. The family moved to Cornwall in 1981, where they completed their family with the birth of her daughter the following year. She was a life member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority cherished the friendships she had with her “sisters”. She joined the Co-operators team in 1997, until her retirement in 2018. She loved spending as much time as possible with her children and grandchildren and watching them grow and flourish. She also loved to travel and would spend as much time as she could in her “home” – Nova Scotia.
Nancy’s family wishes to thank the many caregivers that came into their lives over the past 10 months – the Cornwall Community Hospital; the Ottawa General Hospital; the EMS Community Paramedic Program, especially Sophie; and CCH@Home in partnership with Bayshore HealthCare (with special thanks to Stephanie, Carolyn and Rachel), which allowed Nancy to stay at home for as long as she could.
Visitation will be held at Wilson Funeral Home, 822 Pitt Street, Cornwall, on Saturday, May 6, 2023 from 1-3 p.m. followed by a commemorative service of Nancy’s life at 3 p.m. in the chapel, officiated by Rev. Janet Evans. Internment will take place in Dartmouth, NS at a later date. If you would like to honour Nancy’s memory, a donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
