The death occurred peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Thursday, October 15, 2026, of George “Harry” Kielly of Charlottetown, formerly of Stanhope, Prince Edward Island.

 

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Myrna (MacMillan); his children, Andrew (Virginia Cooke), Robert (Kathy), Heather (Robert Gould) and Kathryn (Roger Piche); his grandchildren, Erin (Shawn Westbury), Lauren MacNevin (Josh), Alex (Kelsea MacLean), Eleanor (Christian Wedlake), Seth (Jocelyn), Ian, Emily Smith (Cole), Thomas, Max Koughan (Megan Connors), Hannah Koughan (Nick Sereda), and Graham Piche; and his 17 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters, Muriel Knox (Preston - deceased), Alva Coade (Harold), brother-in-law Blair MacMillan (Carol) and sister-in-law Lynn McMillan, as well as extended family. He was predeceased by his parents, Lewis and Mary (Arbing) Kielly; his nephew, Joshua Knox; and his grand-nephew, Trayton Knox.

 

Harry lived a life marked by a deep commitment to education, public service and community involvement. He devoted 35 years to education on Prince Edward Island as a teacher and school principal, followed by 10 years working in education in the Northwest Territories. Throughout his career, he touched the lives of countless students, colleagues and families, leaving a lasting contribution to the communities he served.

 

His commitment to public service extended well beyond the classroom. He served as Chair of the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and as National Policy Chair of the Senior Liberal Commission of Canada. His interest in democracy and international affairs also took him abroad where he participated in three missions to Bosnia-Herzegovina as an international elections supervisor and observer.

 

Closer to home, Harry was actively involved in numerous community initiatives, including efforts to sponsor and welcome refugees to Prince Edward Island. He believed in contributing to the well-being of others and generously gave his time and energy to causes that mattered to him.

 

An avid and accomplished gardener, Harry spent many years involved in market gardening and was a familiar presence at the Charlottetown Farmers Market in the 1980’s and 1990’s. He was especially well known for his magnificent flower beds which reflected both his love of nature and the care and dedication he brought to everything he undertook.

 

Above all, Harry leaves behind a legacy of service, generosity, hard work and devotion to his family and community, and he will be lovingly remembered by those whose lives he touched.

 

The family wishes to express their gratitude to the The Mount Continuing Care Community for the exceptional care and kindness shown to Harry during his final years. Their dedication to his comfort and well-being will always be appreciated.

 

In keeping with Harry’s personal wishes, there will be no visitation. A private celebration of life will be held on Monday, followed by interment in West Covehead Cemetery. If so desired, memorial donations in Harry's memory may be made directly to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Foundation. Online condolences may be made at www.macleanfh.com

It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marjorie Vessey on Friday, October 2, 20226 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.

 

Marjorie was the daughter of the late Harvey and Frances MacPherson and the beloved wife of the late George Vessey. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Rod (Kathy);grandsons, William and Patrick (Emily); and great-grandson, Emerson. She is also survived by her brother, Harvey (Bettie) MacPherson, and sister, Frankie Campfield. She was predeceased by her sister, Lily Augustin.

 

Marjorie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and, most recently, a great-grandmother. She was also a dedicated career nurse who spent her life caring for and helping others. She began her nursing career as a recovery room nurse and, at the age of 43, returned to Dalhousie University to earn her Bachelor of Nursing degree while continuing to work.

 

Her career led her to become Director of Nursing at the Prince Edward Island Hospital and later the first Director of Nursing at the newly opened Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, following the amalgamation of the Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island Hospitals. A gifted planner and organizer, she was highly respected throughout the hospital community.

 

Following her retirement, the Marjorie Vessey Nursing Award was established in her honour and continues to recognize a nurse for outstanding achievement. But Marjorie was about much more than her career. She loved life and especially enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She loved to entertain, socialize, sing and dance, and always enjoyed a good laugh and the occasional drink with friends.

 

Her faith was an important part of her life. Marjorie sang in the choir at St. Peter’s Cathedral for more than 60 years, was a member of the Binney Group and became the first female Property Warden at St. Peter’s.

 

She also loved sports and remained active throughout her life, enjoying golfing, curling, skiing, swimming and skating. She served as President of the Belvedere Ladies Group and the PEI Nurses Association and continued giving back to her community by volunteering at the QEH after retirement. She also treasured her weekly bridge games with good friends.

 

Even as hearing and vision loss became part of her later years, Marjorie never allowed them to diminish her enjoyment of life. She walked every day that the weather allowed, often for an hour or more, and maintained her positive outlook and independence for many years.

 

In her final years, Marjorie lived at Geneva Villa, where she became a much-loved member of the community. Staff once described her as having a contagiously positive outlook on life. She always had a kind word, a striking smile and a wonderful sense of humour to share. Her gracious nature and outgoing personality touched both the staff and residents who had the pleasure of knowing her.

 

Marjorie was a woman of deep Christian faith. While her passing brings great sadness to those who loved her, her family takes comfort in knowing that her faith gave her hope in a new beginning. They look forward to the day when they will be reunited with her.

 

Marjorie will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends and all those whose lives she touched.
