Myers, William Joseph "Billy" April 29, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William "Billy" Joseph Myers, age 75, at the O'Leary Hospital, PE, on April 29, 2025. Born on December 16, 1949, in Prince Edward Island, Billy lived a life grounded in faith, family, and service to his community.

Billy was no stranger to hard work. He spent much of his life fishing lobster and harvesting Irish moss along the shores he loved. He also worked in construction and served as the devoted caretaker of the Palmer Road Church.

Whether tending his woodlot or lending a hand to neighbours, Billy's strength and generosity never went unnoticed. He found joy in the simple things, company around the kitchen table, a quiet walk through the woods, and time spent with the people he loved.

He was predeceased by his parents, Alyre and Rita Myers; his sister, Karleen Doucette; his mother- and father-in-law, Edward and Delores Gallant; and his brother- and sister-in-law, Barry and Holly Gallant.

Billy leaves behind his beloved wife, Irene Myers (formerly Gallant), and his children: Troy Myers of Summerside, PE, and Melanie Cudmore (formerly Myers) and her husband Jamie Cudmore of Rice Point, PE. He was a proud and loving Grampie to his grandchildren, Karson and Brae Myers.

He is also survived by his sisters: Audrey (Mark) Ellsworth , Claudia (Jimmy) Arsenault, Mary (Donnie) Perry, and Nora (Clarence) Buote. Left to cherish his memory are his in-laws: Wilfred Gallant, Joseph Gallant, Edie & Neil LeClair, and Jerry Gallant.

“He loved his family fiercely, worked faithfully, and gave more than he ever asked for in return.”




Resting at the West Prince Funeral Home, 522 Thompson Rd, where visitation will take place Thursday May 1st from 7-9 pm.

Funeral will take place on Friday May 2nd at 3:30pm at Immaculate Conception Church , Palmer rd. Fr. Praveen is officiating.

Gallant, Holly Mary April 14, 2025

The death occurred peacefully at her home in Tignish with her loving husband, Joe by her side of Holly Mary (née Perry) Gallant on Monday, April 14, 2025. Born at Western Hospital on September 28, 1960, she was the daughter of the late Irma (née Harper)and the late John W. Perry of Tignish.

A lifelong resident of Tignish, Holly and Joe raised five boys, of whom she was
incredibly proud: Joel (Laura) of Port Hill, Jarrett (Sarina) of Castlegar, BC, David(Jenna) of East Bideford, Dominic (Stacey) of Ellerslie, and Curran of Fort McMurray,AB. Holly was also blessed with ten grandchildren: Alexandra, William, Grace, Raya,Perry, Palmer, Taylor, Liam, Owen, and Lena.

Holly was a dear sister to the late Herbie (Lois), and Harley (Arlene), Hal (Brenda),Hilary, Heidi, and Harris. She was also a cherished sister-in-law to Irene (Billy) Myers,Wilfred Gallant, Edie (Neil) LeClair, Jerry Gallant, and the late Barry Gallant.

To Holly, family was everything. She remembered every birthday, every milestone, every little detail that made her loved ones feel special. Her five boys were her greatest pride and joy – no mother could have loved more fiercely or celebrated more fully. And Joe,her loving partner in life, stood by her through everything, living out their vows with quiet strength and unwavering love, right to the very end.

Holly never missed a chance to celebrate an accomplishment or to pull off a
goodhearted prank. In that way, she will never be forgotten as these same traits can be found in her siblings, her boys, and her beloved grandchildren. We will forever miss her infectious laugh and the way she balanced her tough-as-nails attitude with unwavering compassion.

In her younger years, Holly was a talented athlete, most notably hockey and softball.Her love of sports and fierce competition was passed to her sons and are now being nurtured in her grandchildren. Always eager to hear how every game went, where their games had taken them, and new skills learned.

Besides her parents, Holly was predeceased by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Edward and Delores Gallant; her brother, Herbie; and her brother-in-law Barry Gallant.

She also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, and nephews who will deeply mourn her passing

A special thank you to the Tignish Fire Dept, RCMP,and Island EMS for their care during Holly’s time of need.
