Charlotte Lynn (Isenor) McClelland - 62, Bible Hill, passed away unexpectedly on Monday June 22, 2026, following a medical emergency at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.
Charlotte was born in May 1964, in Truro. She was raised in a tight knit family of five children as the only daughter – a rose among thorns, as she would say. Charlotte had an instinctual curiosity for the world around her and a remarkable gift for seeing people clearly and accepting them as they were. Her legacy lives on in the many people whose lives she enriched through her time, care, and unconditional love.
Charlotte trained and worked as a Registered Nurse at Victoria General Hospital in Halifax, a profession which well suited her keen eye and her caring nature. She later chose to leave her career to devote herself fully to raising her four children, a role that brought her immense pride and purpose. She created a home that was welcoming and filled with love where she was a constant source of strength, optimism, and encouragement to all those around her. As her family’s storyteller and historian, she preserved memories and created traditions that brought generations together. Her family moved through life with greater confidence simply because she was there.
Charlotte was predeceased by her parents Calvin James Isenor and Joan Madelyn (Coulter) Isenor as well as her younger brother, Clayton Isenor, who passed away unexpectedly on April 25, 2026.
Charlotte is survived by her husband of 36 years, Mark J. McClelland, Bible Hill; their four children, Mark A. McClelland, Adam McClelland, Jaclyn Marshall (Kyle), Craig McClelland, all of Bible Hill; beloved grandchildren, Lachlan and Kendall Marshall; brothers, Craig Isenor (Astrid), Kitchener, Ontario; Carl Isenor (Rayona), Truro; Carey Isenor (Maria), Bridel Kopstal, Luxembourg. Charlotte was a proud and devoted aunt to her 17 nieces and nephews.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the first responders, and to the staff at Colchester East Hants Health Centre’s Emergency Department. A special thank you is also extended to Dr. Volodko Bakowsky, who was Charlotte’s rock through the storm of auto immune disease.
