Mary Ellen Graves Gregg – 81, Truro, passed away peacefully, with her three sons at her side, on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Nita (Graves) Bryant.

Mary Ellen worked with North American Van Lines as a bookkeeper for many years. She was a meticulous bookkeeper, homemaker and researcher, and when she found a topic that interested her, she would research it and know more about it than the experts! She was an intelligent and smart lady who had a great sense of humour. She had a huge heart, and would help anyone, but you always knew where you stood with her! Getting a smile from her for a picture took lots of patience, as she always seemed to know where the camera was, but when we captured that shot, it was perfect!

Mary Ellen is survived by her sons, Stewart (Lisa Fogarty), Regina, Saskatchewan; Rick (Angela), Tantallon; Rod (Lee Ann Atwater), Bedford; grandchildren, Cameron, Nicholas (Bridget), Erica, Andrew, Olivia, Calli, Troy; sister-in-law, Helen (Prosser) Bryant; sister-in-law, Anne (Monahan) Bryant; several nieces and nephews. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, George; siblings, Junior, Murray, Beverly, and Arnold; her canine companion, Jilleen.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, where Mary Ellen’s family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, August 24, 2022, and funeral service 2 p.m., Thursday, August 25, 2022.
