It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Mother in her 94th year, Mary Regina Dalton of Harbour Main, born in Bacon Cove, Conception Harbour.  Predeceased by her loving and devoted husband, Albert E., infant sons, Joseph and Gerald; parents, James & Agatha Kelly; brothers, Jim and Joe; sisters, Mary, Florence, Ann, Mildred and Eleanor; and members of the Dalton and Kelly families.

Leaving to mourn with treasured and loving memories, son, Albert Jr. (Valerie); daughter, Eleanor (Kenneth) Costello; grandsons, Kevin Costello (Megan and great granddaughter Emma), Joseph Costello (Teri), Andrew Dalton; granddaughter, Heather Dalton and step-grandchildren Adam Noel and Brittany Hyde (Jeff). 

Our mother has many loving and devoted relatives residing in the United States who have always been an important part of her life – sisters-in-law Alberta Kelly, Peggy Kelly and their families; Gerri Peddle and the Peddle family, John Gushue and the Gushue family, Mary Kelly, Dan Merritt and the Merritt family and the Kennedy family.

There were so many people in our mother’s life who were so kind and supportive to her, especially her nieces, Mary Dalton and Lucille Wall (Robbie), her lifelong friend of 70 years, Minnie Dalton, special friend of 40 years, Gloria MacDonald, and the Neary family.

We would like to thank Dr. Paul Walsh and his staff, as well as the staffs of St. Patrick’s Mercy Home, the Leonard A. Miller Centre, and Admiral’s Coast Retirement Centre for their extraordinary care and support of our mother.

Our mother was a beautiful lady who was admired and respected by all who knew her.  We remember her for the compassionate love of her family, her kindness and consideration to others, and the deep devotion to her faith, rarely missing a Sunday Mass.

The funeral service is private and by invitation only (for those invited to attend the service, please arrive 15 to 20 minutes prior to the service so the ushers may scan your NL VaxPass and seat you.)
