MITCHELMORE, GRAYDON

April 1, 1939 - June 25, 2024

Is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of Graydon Mitchelmore. He passed with his daughter Jill by his side. Born April 1st to Thomas and Mamie Ellen. He was the eldest of 6 kids.

Graydon was devoted husband, Daddy, Grandfather and Great Grandfather. He was a family man and worked hard to provide for his family. He worked many years in Lab City where he was away from his family to provide for them and give them the best life possible. After retirement he liked to keep busy.  He cut all his wood for the winter, tending his gardens, and kept his lawns nice and trimmed and working on anything that needed to be done. He took a lot of pride in everything he did. 

He had a deep love of animals and passed that love down through his family.  At times we think he loved the pets as much as he loved the rest of the family. He has returned to be with the love of his life and is now at peace. 

He is survived by Son: Jasper; Daughters Jill and May; Grandchildren: Graydon (Tammy), Deanie, Michael, Tammy; Great grandchildren Darrius and Marcus; Sisters: Myrtle (Ren), Bertha, and Velma (Wally); Brother-in-laws: John Thomas (Winnie), Vincent (Jessie) and Marcelle (Eura).

STRANGEMORE, CARLTON

October 12, 1949 - May 30, 2024

Carl was born in Cook’s Harbour on October 12th, 1949. He was the fourth child born to Naomi and Hayward Strangemore. He had three brothers, Selwyn (Ivy), Charles (Gaye), Guy, and four sisters, Nita, Marilyn, Eva (Riley), and Joyce. When Carl was five years old, his family moved to St. Anthony where he grew up and spent his entire life. He worked most of his adult life in the processing sector with FPI in St. Anthony. In later years, he worked in the construction industry in St. John’s.

In 1971, he married Selma Ollerhead and together they raised two children, Luanne (Frank) and Shelley (Cory). They were then blessed with four grandchildren, Hilary, Nicholas, Cameron and Tyler. His grandchildren meant the world to him and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for any of them.

When Carl married Selma, he grew an extended family of brothers and sisters. There were many visits to St. Anthony by them all and there is no doubt that every visit with Carl was a memorable one.

Through the years, Carl grew many relationships that became lifelong friendships. Some of those friends became known as the Cabin Crew. This group had many a time playing music and singing, but what made them sound amazing was the best accordion player, Carl. He could brighten up any room with the sounds of the accordion playing and feet thumping. Music that all who knew him would cherish for a lifetime.

His passions extended beyond music, including boating, fishing, hunting, camping, master wine maker and gardening to name a few. I would expect that over the next few days, his family will hear some of the many adventures of Carl doing what he loved, and those stories will be nothing short of amazing and entertaining, because that’s the kind of person he was. Captivating, gentle, kind, witty, passionate, and of course, a little stubborn too.

Carl lived to see the passing of many of his family and friends; his mother and father, sister Nita, brothers-in-law, Tony, Roy, Ray, Earl and sister-in-law Loretta, along with his closest friends, Paul, George and Blanche and his best friend’s son Craig.

Sadly, Carl’s courageous battle with cancer ended peacefully on May 30th, 2024, while surrounded by his loving family. During Carl’s battle with cancer, he came to know many people that showed him compassion, empathy and support beyond what could ever be expected. The cancer care team in St. Anthony, along with all the nurses, physicians, and diagnostic service teams, all played a role in enabling Carl to have extended time with his family. There are too many people to name, but you know who you are, and you all held a special place in his heart! The man known as Dad, Pop, Husband, Brother, Brother-in-Law, Uncle, Cousin and Friend will be forever in our hearts and the memories he left will be cherished. Raise a glass to this amazing man and hear the accordion playing sweetly, Music and Friends! Love forever and always.

Visitation is being held at the funeral home in St. Anthony from 2-4 and 7-8:30pm Friday May 31st, 2024 followed by family prayer. The funeral service will be held at 11am on Saturday, June 1, 2024 from the St. Mary’s Anglican Church in St. Anthony with Rev. Arthur Kinsella officiating. Interment to follow.

COOPER, GLADDIE

February 22, 1928 – December 1, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that the family of the late Gladdie Alexandra Cooper (nee Hodge) announce the passing of their beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend at the age of 95 years.

Gladdie was born at home in Savage Cove in 1928, the first of five children. Following her adored mother’s passing in childbirth, 15-year-old Gladdie left school to care for her siblings. Shortly after, her family moved by dog sled to Main Brook, to be closer to relatives. There Gladdie met and married Thomas Cooper in 1947. They had two children before moving to St.Anthony in 1954.

Gladdie always held education in high regard. Once her family were raised, she continued her education by achieving her high school diploma in night school. Then she completed a correspondence certificate in practical nursing which would eventually lead her into a career in health care. She always encouraged her children and grandchildren in their studies, and celebrated their every accomplishment.

Rightly named, Gladdie had a beautiful smile and warm heart. She was a sincere and caring person who loved welcoming and supporting others. She began her career by serving her community as a friendly face of the several general retail stores on the East Side of St. Anthony. Later she transitioned to work at the IGA Dr. Charles S.Curtis Memorial Hospital as a switchboard operator. Her kind and engaging attitude made her a natural choice for on the job training as a dental assistant. In that role, she made many friends and happy memories, and brought reassurance to many dental patients (young and old) until she retired.

She had a deep commitment to her faith in God during her lifetime and was a dedicated member of the church. She was an active member of the ACW at St.Mary’s Church, St.Anthony for over 60 years.

The happiest times of her life were shared with her family and friends, particularly annual summer vacations in their truck camper and motor home. Gladdie treasured her memories of the people and places that brought so much joy to her life. She particularly enjoyed connecting with her cousins. Her family was of utmost importance to her, each one holding a special place in her heart.

Leaving to mourn with a lifetime of fond and loving memories are her daughter Rose (Arne Helgeland), son Kevin (Dora), grandchildren DeAnn Vincent (Fred), Dana Cooper (Ben), and Michael Cooper; great-grandchildren: Emily Vincent, and Liliane Cooper-LaChance as well as many other nieces, nephews, extended family and friends, especially those living in the area who frequently visited Gladdie and supported her in the absence of her immediate family.

Gladdie was predeceased by her much-missed husband Thomas; her parents Philip Hodge and Rosanna Hodge (White); Siblings; Cora Cassidy (Reg), Dulcie Hancock (Willis), Bill Hodge (Mary), and Dan Hodge (Marie); In Laws, Wilfred Simms (Goldie), Cornelia Sweetland (Art), Cyril Cooper (Fanny), Harold Cooper (Effie), Joe Cooper (Annie), Lillian Sansford (Harry).

The family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to the numerous healthcare professionals at Dr. Charles S. Curtis Memorial Hospital and the staff at Shirley’s Haven. Their expertise, compassion and patience will never be forgotten.
