ANNE ELIZABETH LANGILLE

LANGILLE (Pitts Pettipas), Anne Elizabeth - It is with human sadness and spiritual joy that the family of Anne Elizabeth announce her sudden passing October 30, 2001, in QEII Health Sciences Centre. Born in Larrys River, Guysborough Co. in 1915, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Lucy (Avery) Pitts Pettipas. She came to Halifax as a teenager to seek employment at the Halifax Hotel. There she met her future husband Rex Langille and they created a nurturing family life together. Anne had established early a commitment to her Moran Street, central Halifax community and to her church community of St. Patrick's, neighbours, parishioners, friends and family were touched daily by her care. Her path to their doors was worn well. Her church work included 40 years of sacristy preparation and lay ministry for the sick and seniors at the G.B. Isnor, Sunrise, St. Vincent's and Northwood Manors. Anne received high recognition for her pastoral tending by receiving the Archdiocesan Medal of Merit and the Papal Medal in 1985. Her community life also included a very active political involvement at all levels of government. During the past year, as a resident of St. Vincent's Guest House along with husband Rex, Anne actively remains part of her neighbourhood. Anne is survived by her husband, Rex; daughters, Joan (Mrs. Pat Kelly), Halifax; Eileen (Mrs. Roger Mills), Vancouver; Evelyn (late Graham Murphy), Toronto; Carolyn (Mrs. Peter Petropolis), Halifax; Mary (Mrs. David Pellerine), Larrys River; nieces, Anne Marie Pitts, Marjorie MacKay, Veronica Grandy; nephews, Charlie and Eldon Pellerine; "fifth daughter", Virginia Turner. She was predeceased by brothers, Bernie, Joseph, Phillip, Fred. Visitation to celebrate her life is in Cruikshank's Funeral Home, Robie Street, 2-4, 7-9 p.m. today and Friday. Funeral mass 11 a.m. Saturday, November 3, in St. Patrick's Church, Brunswick Street, His Grace, Archbishop Terrence Prendergast S.J. officiating. Final resting place for Anne will be in Camp Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, remember Anne's charities, Hope Cottage, St. Vincent de Paul Society or St. Patrick's Church.
