I'm so sorry to read that Alta has left us. We stayed in touch at Christmas ever since I left Bridgewater in 1977.
Bill and Alta were wonderful people and we shared many a laugh together until my wife and I were transferred
to Thunder Bay...My sympathy to all the remaining family..

Our most sincere sympathies to you Danny , Rhona and Dave and Family at the loss of your Mother. She was a sweet, kind thoughtful lady. I still have fond memories of Alda coming to the door at our North Street home with a lovely nightie for our new born baby in 1972. She leaves behind so many memories of her kindness.

Growing up in that small community of Grafton, Alta was a presence in my life. We followed her adventures of living up north to returning to Nova Scotia. As many have said she was so genuine and mine. She made every effort to be present at so many special times in the valley. Last saw her when Danny brought her to my uncle Geralds' memorial. She was so loved and will be missed by many. Thinking of her family st this time. June Clarke Adcock

I am so very sorry to learn of Alta’s passing. She was such a sweet, kind and considerate person. I had the pleasure of spending 6 weeks with her while working at Ashwood and sharing stories about those we had in common (West Northfield friends). She gave the best hugs! Please accept my sincere sympathy. She will certainly be missed by many.

Our condolences to Alta’s family. I remember the first time I seen Alta when she moved to Drumlin Hills. I was checking our mailbox when we met. We had a short conversation the first time, but I did ask her if she was related to Danny and she said yes, he is my son. That’s where the conversation started and as I seen her many times after that first meeting I explained to her how we both knew Danny. What a wonderful person she was and so easy to talk to and that smile she greeted you with was so infectious. I found out that she lived in the apartment below us. You see, every spring I always put out my hummingbird feeder on the deck and she was able to watch them from her dining room window. She seen me one day hanging it out and naturally our conversations would centre around those little birds. She said she couldn’t wait for each spring to come. She even called a few times to talk about the hummingbirds.
When she left here I missed her so and would think about her when it was time for the birds to return. I called Danny one time to see how his mom was.
Danny, you and your family will have so many beautiful memories. I know I only knew her for such a short time, but every spring I will think of your mom.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers go to all of Alta’s family at this time.

Danny, Rhona and family:
My sincere condolences on hearing of your Mom’s passing. Alta was an elegant and beautiful lady, and always took the time to talk to everyone (especially at Drumlin Hills waiting in the lobby for her “drive” or in the dining room being cheerful to everyone). She would strike up a conversation right away and her face would light up when speaking to you. She was truly blessed with a long and wonderful life, and the family memories you’ve had together will last forever. She will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time,

Dear Danny, Rhona, and David,
We are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She will no doubt leave a void in your life, but you can, through so many memories, celebrate her life that was well lived and blessed with family and friends!
I remember when your family moved to Bridgewater and it wasn't long until Brian and I quickly became friends with Danny and David. So many great times and happy memories being at your house where your Mom was always so welcoming and clearly delighted to have us around. Even after we grew up, whenever I would meet her, she was always greeted me with the same warmness that I remembered from my childhood years.
Thinking about you,
Craig and Joanne Stanfield

Sympathy to everyone on Alta's passing. She certainly lived a wonderful long life. We are thinking today about so many memories of Alta during our years in Bridgewater. We have good memories as well of days, back in the 1970s,when Alta would be over,visiting with her mother, Winnie. We would see Alta, Winnie, Dwight and Audrey in Woodville. You will be in our thoughts on Thursday.

My deepest condolences to Danny, David, and family on the passing of Alta. I always enjoyed our conversations on her many trips to the valley to visit her mom and friends and attending the many Clarke reunions she attended. She was the most gracious hostess when I and my late wife would visit her in Bridgewater. May your memories carry you through this difficult time.

Alta was a beautiful lady . I first met Alta at Drumlin Hills. I was chosen to do her apartment cleaning. We would have such great talks and laughs . Later on she moved to the 2nd floor where I had the privilege to do morning checks on her and to clean weekly .I remember the day in the Dining room at Drumlin when Alta turned 100 she was so happy she had tears in her eyes,as we all sang happy Birthday and we all had cake . One laughable moment was when she had got her "Alexa" she was telling me how to use it ,she started to tell me as she whispered ALEXA? I DONT WANT HER TO HEAR ME she said . We both had a laugh over that . I was so glad to get to meet her wonderful family that treated her like a queen! Alta will be greatly missed so glad I could call her my friend .

It is with sadness that I write this tribute to a grand lady who was in my life all of my life. The Carey family were indeed extended family of the McCarthy's and many a holiday was spent in shared company whether in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Toronto or points in between. Alta was always gracious and with a smile and a good word for all. I know she will be missed by all who crossed her path in this life.
My last meeting with Alta and Danny Carey and his family was in 2011 and it was indeed memorable. I spent a couple of days with them all in Bridgewater where we dined al fresco on seafood and reminiscing about the many good times we had spent together.
Hopefully the elder McCarthy's and Careys will be resuming their long friendship wherever they all may be.
