Loretta Sparrow Glace Bay, N.S. It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Loretta Sparrow. Loretta was born September 18, 1931, to the late Helen and Joseph Deveaux. Born and raised in MacKay’s Corner, Loretta had a great sense of humor and loved music and a good game of cards. Loretta was the best Mom in the world and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Survived by daughters Starla (Cecil) MacQueen, Joanne (Fabian) Lahey. Sons Joey (Donna), Kelly (Angie), Colin (Bonnie). Loretta was fortunate to have many great and great-great grandchildren who will miss her dearly. We would like to say a special thank you to Loretta’s grand niece who was her constant companion and friend for the last number of years Catherine Burke. Also, a thank you to the Palliative Care Team, VON and Nancy, Angie and Erin for the wonderful help and care. Cremation has taken place under the care and compassion of T.J.
