  • Notes 
    • Faustina Marie McIver was born at Kinkora, Prince Edward Island on 4 September 1901, the third child born to Theodore McIver and Adilla Johnson and died in Toronto on 13 June 1988.

      “Tina” as she was affectionately known married James Everett Kelly from Shamrock, Prince Edward Island, in 1924 and went on to have seven children; two girls, [one died at age 3 months] and five boys…a loving and caring mother.

      In the 1930’s Tina and Everett [“Eb”] operated the Kinkora General Store. The building that was the store still stands today at the corner of the Anderson and Somerset roads. In her immediate family of four brothers and four sisters Tina was the only one who did not attend formal schooling past grade 10 as she was kept back to look after the others [as was the practice in the early 1900’s].

      After several moves [Summerside then Charlottetown] the family settled at 60 Kent St. in Charlottetown. Tina not only cared exceedingly well for her immediate family but also over time cared for at least 100 boarders [some being relatives]. She cooked a phenomenal number of delectable, wholesome and economical meals. She ensured there was plenty for all and the boarders were treated well. She developed the skills to make soap, hook rugs, design and remake clothes, can foods, make preserves and jams, yet somehow still made time for card parties and attend Bingo. She was well known for the beautiful and excellent quilts she made.

      Our mother was an ardent Roman Catholic who firmly believed she was meant to be a “caregiver extraordinaire” to her family and others.

      She created a happy and comfortable home for her family and included many others as well.
