Barbara "Bub" McLennan

I rise today to honour the life of Barbara "Bub" McLennan.

After moving around the Atlantic Provinces and Ontario, Bub and Bruce finally put down roots in Oat Hill Lake in Dartmouth in 1970 with six children in tow.

Over the next 50 years, they grew a huge and loving family that includes 13 grandchildren, their partners, six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Bub's family extended out into the neighbourhood as well. Her daily walks around Oat Hill Lake and her genuine warmth meant that she knew and was adored by many.

She was also very creative, taking up traditional rug hooking in the 1980s and finding that she had a real passion for the craft which she would practice for 40 years. She produced many colourful works and earned even more long-lasting friendships in the process.

Bub was witty, creative, and loving. She will be deeply missed by her community. Please join me in honouring the memory of Barbara "Bub" McLennan.
