Adshade, Juanita Gertrude (Rector). It is with sadness the family of Juanita (Nita) announce her passing on Tuesday, August 30, 2016 at the age of 102 in Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow. Born on February 17th, 1914 in Brookfield, she was the second eldest of five children of the late Edward and Eva (Matthews) Rector, Debert, NS. Nita had resided in Debert for the greater part of her life, moving to Truro at the age of 77. She had a great love for gardening and nature. Over the years she walked many miles "around the mountain" with her dear friend the late Bertha MacLaughlin. Many nights arriving home after the sun had set. Nita also enjoyed regular sightseeing and shopping trips with her dear sister-in-law the late Elsie (Roode) Rector.
