Barbara Kathleen Collicutt

Date of Birth: Sunday, July 24th, 1932
Date of Death: Saturday, October 5th, 2013

It is with great sadness the family of Barbara Kathleen Collicutt, 81, of Bridgewater, announces her passing on Saturday October 5th, 2013, at the South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater.

Born in Bridgewater, she was the daughter of the late Walter Willison and Marguerite Kathleen (Slauenwhite) Hirtle. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.

In her earlier years, she attended school in Bridgewater. She had saddle horses and enjoyed the farm life. After losing her father at the age of 15 in 1948 she went to work at Holmes Dry Goods store and later at the Olive and Taylor Drug Store (Rexall) to supplement the family income and keep the farm. In 1956 she returned home to work with her mother in the gardens and look after the animals.

She married Frederick I Collicutt in 1961, their son followed in 1963. Barbara worked hard all her life, aiding with Fred’s busy schedule as one of Canada’s leading Mercury salesmen. This continued up until just a few years ago as her son has stayed in the car business.

Barbara was a nature and animal lover and could identify every bird and flower you cared to ask about. She was an Elvis fan and collector of antiques. She was also an antique car enthusiast- an interest she shared with her son and grandson who was the joy of her life for the past sixteen years and was able to take her on drives before her passing. Barbara was a genuinely kind and caring person who made and kept friends easily.

She is survived by her son, Andrew (Gladys) Collicutt, Lunenburg and a grandson, Fred.

She was predeceased by her husband, Frederick I. Collicutt and a brother, Elmer Raymond in infancy.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the physicians, nurses and staff of the South Shore Regional Hospital, Fishermen’s Memorial Hospital, QE II and

Valley Regional Hospital for their love and care of Barbara over the past few years.

Funeral Arrangements are under the direction of the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213, Hwy. # 3, Lunenburg and where a memorial service to celebrate Barbara’s life will be held on Saturday October 12th at 2:00 p.m., Rev. Mark Marshall officiating. Interment will be at a later date.²

'Copter Pilot Dances Plane To Save Life

TOKYO (AP) -- The downed U. S. Marine pilot, bobbing in the chill Yellow Sea, was so cold his hands couldn't grasp the hoist cable dangling from a hovering Air Force helicopter.

So the pilot, Maj. Emerson E. Heller of Spring City. Pa., made his flying machine dance in the air, twisting and turning until the cable wrapped around the pilot, Capt. Clarence W. Tuxbury of Marblehead, Mass.

Tuxbury hung on with his arms and was hoisted to safety.¹⁰
