Mary Matilda Crann, better known to everyone as Tilda, age 85, passed away peacefully at Carbonear General Hospital on Monday, January 7th surrounded by her family. Matilda was born in Perry’s Cove, NL to George and Maggie King, and moved to Fair Haven to pursue her teaching career, where she met the love of her life, Albert Crann. And it was Fair Haven where the two of them started their family and shared their lives together. Tilda who came from a large family, with nine siblings, had only one child, Margaret. But just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, so did Tilda’s family. Through her daughter Margaret, Tilda was blessed with four Grandchildren, seven Great Grandchildren, and one Great-Great Grandchild. Family was the most important thing in the world to her, and the love they all had for her was beyond compare.

Sisters Marjorie, Gladys, & Cynthia (Al). Brother-in-laws Jack (Marjorie), Ira (Effie), Ron (Francis), & George. Sister-in-laws Mildred (Bill) and Julie (Stan)
