Drusilla Carolyn Mcphee-Potter

MCPHEE-POTTER; Drusilla C., 77, of Halifax, formerly of Liverpool, passed away peacefully in Drummond Hall, Halifax on Saturday, February 18, 2017.
Born in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton, she was a daughter of the late William and Margaret (Ferguson) Ferguson.
Dru was a former owner-operator of the Liverpool IGA Store along with her husband Eldon for many years retiring in 1991 to devote her full attention to being a grandmother. She was an active member of the Liverpool United Baptist Church serving in various positions within the church before moving to Halifax. She was also a member of the “Christmas Girls Club” which met every Wednesday evening. She and her husband Eldon travelled extensively throughout the world and, in her later years, Dru travelled many times to BC to be with her grandchildren. Dru will be fondly remembered for her love of her family and her love of Cape Breton which remained “home” in her heart.
She is survived by her daughter Michele “Shelly” (Jeff) West of Fall River, her grandchildren Morganne, Kelsey and Gregory and her brother William (Betty) Ferguson of North Sydney.
Dru was predeceased by her first husband Eldon McPhee, her second husband William Potter, her sisters Christine McNeil, Peggy McLeod, June Evans, Anna Lewis and her brothers Rod, George, Gordon, Donald and Bruce.
