In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
EISNOR, Murray Elwood - It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Murray Elwood Eisnor, on February 21, 2020, four days short of his 86th birthday. He was born in Barss Corner to the late Charles and Matilda (Fisher) Eisnor. Murray was the last surviving member of his immediate family, being predeceased by his daughter, Darlean Eisnor; brothers, Warren, Donald, and sister, Betty Wentzell. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Elizabeth "Betty" A. (Rafuse) Eisnor; daughters, Janice Eisnor and Catherine Thorne. Also survived by grand- children, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He enjoyed a very successful career in the Royal Canadian Navy retiring as CPO1st Class. After retirement Murray moved to Marvin's Island, Chester Basin, where he was referred to as "Mr. Fixit 911". He was known for his quick wit and willingness to help anyone in the community. He belonged to several organizations, including The Royal Canadian Legion, and was also an active member and Deacon Emeritus of AEnon Baptist Church, Chester Basin. Visitation will be Tuesday evening, February 25th from 7-9 p.m. in Davis Funeral Home, Chester. Interment will be Wednesday, February 26th at 1 p.m. in Lakeview Cemetery, Croft Road, followed by Celebration of Life, 2 p.m. at AEnon Baptist Church, 57 NewRoss Rd., Chester Basin, Rev. Joseph Green officiating. The service will be live-streamed on the AEnon Baptist Church Facebook Page. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Cancer Society, or charity of Choice. He will be deeply missed by his wife, children, close family, and his community. I'd like the memory of myself to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done. I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that we shared while we were having fun. (Halifax Chronicle-Herald 24 Feb 2020)
