Nix, Dorothy Emma "Dot", 87, of Bible Hill, passed away peacefully Monday, October 16, 2017 at Vimy Court in Bible Hill. Born in Bible Hill, she was a daughter of the late John and Gladys (Fielding) Langille. Dot loved her family and was a devoted wife, and loving mother, and grandmother. As a girl she spent long hours roaming the river bank with her dog. She loved fishing with her father and uncles. She also had a love of reading, especially in her older years. She attended Business College after high school. She worked at Grey’s Shoe Store, Margolians, and was also a night dispatcher for Wilsons Fuel. She married her husband and had a child and became a full time mom. Dot, as known to her friends, loved her motorbike trips with Gardner. They belonged to the Campers Club and enjoyed many years camping, and travelling especially to Shelburne. She was an active member of the Saint David’s United Church Bible Hill, until she suffered a stroke in 1977. In her later years after the death of her husband, she especially looked forward to weekends away with her granddaughter Christie, and a few close friends, Michelle, and Dianne. Dorothy was an only child. She is survived by her daughter, Cathy Nix (Kevin Cox); grandchildren, Christie and Kevin; great-grandson, Kevin Dominic. She was predeceased by her husband, Gardner Nix. Visitation will be held 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm, followed by funeral service at 2 pm, Wednesday, October 25, all in the Mattatall ~ Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street Truro, with Rev.
