Peverley, Helen Viola Age 77, of Mulgrave and formerly of Loch Katrine and Country Harbour, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 10, 2022 in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish. Born in Port Hawkesbury, she was a daughter of the late Aubrey and Edith (Myers) Manuel. Helen was a 1965 graduate of the Aberdeen School of Nursing. She worked for many years as a Registered Nurse at the Aberdeen Hospital in New Glasgow. She also received a 2 year diploma in Business Administration from NSCC Stellarton. Helen loved to work in her vegetable garden and share her bountiful harvest with friends and neighbours. She could be found over the years working and tinkering on her cars. Helen was a fiercely independent strong woman who loved the outdoors which was evident in her love for cutting and splitting her own firewood. She loved all animals and had a very strong bond with her dog Miki, who travelled with her everywhere and her love for her cat Katie of 19 years. Helen was a very kind and compassionate woman who was always there to help anyone in the neighbourhood. Helen is survived by her sons, Billy (Adriana Martinez), Texas; David (Juanita Johnston), Port Hawkesbury.  She was predeceased by brother, Clarence Manuel; sister, Lorraine MacKenzie.
