Cecil George Fielding – 82, Truro, passed away Monday evening, November 28, 2022, at Glen Haven Manor, New Glasgow. Born in Truro, he was a son of the late Henry and Helen (Hamilton) Fielding.

Cecil loved being out in nature and fishing, rock collecting and metal detecting were his hobbies. He enjoyed tinkering with cars, and because of his mechanical prowess, he was often called upon for advice or labour. Family and friends knew him as always being willing to help others. He was very social and very much enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He was employed for many years with Goodrich in Kitchener, Ontario and then at Thermo-Cell in Debert.

Cecil is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Diana (Stiles); children, Mark (Shannon) Fielding, Debert; Wendi Fielding (Roger Asprey), Truro; grandchildren, Matt (Tori) Fielding, Dartmouth; Stephanie (Jesse) Fielding-Lake, Dartmouth; Lucas Stevens, Truro; sisters, Shirley Gayowsky, Patricia Barlow, Kitchener, Ontario; brother, Errol Fielding, Guelph, Ontario; several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law; numerous nieces and nephews. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by his cherished daughter, Jennifer.

Special thanks are extended to the staff at Glen Haven Manor for their care and support during the year that Cecil lived there.
