It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dora Theresa Pente, age 89, of Sackville, NB. Dora passed away peacefully at home on October 23, 2016.

One of 5 children, Dora was born in Timmins, Ontario on December 22, 1926 to James and Lily Knell. She completed nursing school at St. Mary’s Hospital in Timmins. Her love of learning led her to obtain her BA and MEd. She spent most of her career teaching in the Nursing Program at Northern College of Applied Arts and Technology in South Porcupine.

Dora and her husband George moved to Restoule, Ontario after they retired and spent 20 years living on Lake Commanda. She loved quilting and machine knitting and was active in the Anglican Church Women. At age 85 Dora moved to Sackville, New Brunswick to be closer to family. She made new friends and enjoyed her new community.
