Lena Myrtle Morehouse
1909-2015
Lena, with her husband and family lived at White Head, Grand Manan, NB until 1939 when they moved to Blacks Harbour, NB where both she and Mendell worked for Connors Bros. Limited. They lived there until they moved to Pennfield, NB into their new home, built by Mendell in the 1950's, where she resided until her passing. While at Connors Bros., she was employed as a sardine packer for a number of years. Following that she was employed as a switchboard operator at the Fundy Hospital, Blacks Harbour, NB until her retirement in 1971. She was an avid nature lover who especially loved bird watching and took part, with her husband, in the annual provincial bird counts and reporting thereon. She loved camping, fishing and hunting. She was a longtime member of the Blacks Harbour United Baptist Church, Blacks Harbour, NB and a former Sunday School Teacher there. Lena was kind and welcoming to all who came to her door. "If you came broken, she would see that you mended." She will be sadly missed by her family and many friends.
