HAYWOOD, Helen Margaret - 92, Manassette Lake, Guysborough Co., passed away Wednesday, November 7, 2007, with her family by her side, in Guysborough Memorial Hospital, where she was well cared for. Born in Manassette Lake, Helen was a daughter of the late Howard and Eviva (Diggins) Carr. Helen was a wonderful, understanding intelligent person and an amazing mother. She was loved so very, very much and touched so many lives; was faithful and true in her religious beliefs, and always had the ability to adjust to the changing times.
