COLE, Chechee Ivella – age 76, passed away unexpectedly, on Friday, March 13th, 2026, at the QEII Health Sciences Centre, Halifax, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. Born in Enfield, she was a mother of 3 girls.

“To my beautiful mother. Thank you for all you have given me and all the sacrifices you have made, teaching us how to make something out of nothing and to respect ourselves and each other and to appreciate all the little things in life. With all the things you went through in your life you still managed to be full of love and hope. Love, Rose”

“To Mom. Thank you for always being there for me teaching me right from wrong and respect for others. I will always be grateful for the love you showed me and the hugs you gave. I am going to miss them. I love you and will miss you. I wish you a safe journey and God bless. Love you, Lesa”

“Mom, I want to thank you for all your love and support through out my life. I want you to know I always felt your love when ever we were together. Over the years you have become my best friend and a huge part of my life. I will miss our Christmases and our visits and most of all your love. You were the best mother and grandmother a person could have asked for. I love you mom now and for ever. -Michelle”

Besides her daughters and grandchildren, Chechee is survived by her brother, Emery.

I would like to send a huge thank you to serenity Lodge for putting a smile on her face and making her feel like she had a home full of people who really cared for her.
