Dominion

It is with a heavy heart that we the family announce the sudden passing of Noel Beverly (Taylor) Spencer, 65, of Dominion, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital on Friday, October 17, 2025, after an extended battle with kidney disease.

She went back to school to finish her education, of which she was immensely proud. Her courage and strength were outstanding which she showed in her battle with kidney disease, she was truly a warrior.
