Kathleen Yvonne "Kay" (Smith, Livingstone) Stewart – 92, Great Village, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 12, 2021, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Springhill, she was the fourth child and first daughter of the late Gilbert and Evelyn (Corkum) Livingstone. (Springhill)

Kay moved to Truro as a young girl and began working at Stanfield’s. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, whom she married. They moved to Great Village where Kay lived for over 70 years. Kay was also a devoted member of Jehovah’s Witnesses for close to 70 years.
