Darlene Heather MacRae ( McMaster) -July 29, 1945 - May 02, 2004 - 58, Wellington, passed away peacefully at home May 2, 2004, surrounded by family after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in New Glasgow, Pictou Co., she was a daughter of Eileen (Farrell) McMaster and the late Roderick McMaster. Darlene spent many years as a barber working at Sunny Side Mall and later at her own business in Enfield. After her diagnosis, she retired from barbering and worked part-time at Adesa. She was also dedicated to raising funds through participating in the Run for the Cure and other cancer fundraising events. Her strength of character during her illness was clearly for those around her, never herself. She lived what she professed and those who knew her have been blessed by her life. Darlene is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 30 years, Terry Sherlock; daughter, Karri (Brent) Urquhart, Bedford; son, Kevin, at home; brothers, John, Nine Mile River; Bob (Linda), Lawrencetown, formerly of Fletcher's Lake; Frank (Sharon), Onoway, Alta.; sister, Cheryl, Enfield; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, greatnieces, greatnephews and many special friends. Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be 7-9 p.m. Wednesday and memorial service 1 p.m. Thursday, followed by a reception, all held in Atlantic Funeral Home, 125 Sackville Dr., Lower Sackville. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Breast Cancer Society.
