Nelson Haley passed away suddenly on January 30, 2020 at Charlotte County Hospital.  Born in St. Stephen, NB he is the son of the late Philip and Eleanor (Cook) Haley.

Nelson grew up in Oak Hill, NB and received his bachelor’s degree in Business and Finance from Husson College in Bangor, ME.  He travelled extensively in Canada and the United States living in Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton, before returning home to St. Stephen. 

Nelson's love and devotion to his parents was exemplary.  In the years his mother was a resident at Lincourt Manor, Nelson visited each day missing only one or two days a year.

Nelson was diagnosed with diabetes in his early teens.  Through strict diet and with a good understanding of his condition he was able to live independently until the time of his passing.  His positive outlook, optimism and never complaining was a part of who he was.  Nelson never judged or criticized anyone.  He had a great sense of humor, a remarkable memory and had a lifelong passion for reading and the study of history and politics.

Nelson leaves to mourn his nephew Tim (Natalie) Hovey; great nephew and niece Jack and Kate Hovey; aunts Marjorie Linton, Alba Haley and Kay MacKnight, and numerous cousins.  David and Darlene Leavitt were like family to Nelson, lending a helping hand whenever required.   David was his best friend and he relied heavily on him.  The family is deeply grateful for their friendship, kindness and countless hours of assistance. Also Nelson’s other neighbors who’s exceptional kindness and attention allowed Nelson to live independently in his community.  Nelson’s cousin, Ann Haley, was a very special cousin and friend.  Nelson talked with Ann at minimum weekly, and their talks were a source of great enjoyment for Nelson.

Nelson was predeceased by his sister, C. Carol MacLean. 

There will be no funeral or visitation.  Interment of ashes will take place at Oak Hill Cemetery at a later date.  For those who wish donations may be made to Charlotte County Hospital Foundation in Nelson's memory.
