Kenneth Eric Seymour

It is with great sadness that we announce Kenny’s passing on February 23, 2025 at Victoria Haven Nursing home at the age of 81. Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late Edward and Lillian (Snow) Seymour. 

 Kenny was a coal miner for 37 years, with special recognition for his work with Laura “the pit pony”. There is a picture of him with Laura proudly hung at the Miner’s Museum. He was an avid harness racing fan and was a proud owner of many horses over the years. He could be found at many racetracks with his son Blair, his brother Ronnie and many friends. Kenny was a proud, lifelong member of the Hub Amateur Athletic Club.

 Kenny is survived by his children; Blair (Dolly), Carole Anne (Mike), Noel (Kim), as well as 10 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He is also survived by siblings; Ronnie (Winnie), Cliff, Stella, Harriett and Doris.

 Besides his parents, Kenny was predeceased by his two sons, Kenny and Donnie.

 We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Victoria Haven Nursing Home where he resided for the past 10 months. The care and compassion he received there in his final months will never be forgotten. Thank you to the New Waterford Consolidated Hospital, 2nd floor medical, and the New Waterford Homemakers Society for the care and compassion shown to Kenny. A special thank you to his daughter in law Dolly for the care and support shown to Kenny over the years. Also, sending out a thank you to his nephew Bobby (minnow) Seymour, he looked forward to your visits and chats.

  As per Kenny’s wishes, there will be no memorial service and burial will take place at a later date.
