George Ronzo Haverstock

George Ronzo Haverstock January 25,1937- March 5, 2025 It is with a mix of sadness and celebration that George Ronzo Haverstock has received his wish and now is in heaven after a short stay in hospital. George was born in Hammonds Plains and spent most of his early years at home, working in the family business before securing his many of years of employment with CN Rail that required a few relocations but always a desire to return home. Prior to his brief stay in hospital and his relocation from Parkland Assisted Living, George had made Queensland his cherished home where he and his wife Marie (of 41 years), loved to look out over St. Margaret’s Bay and take in all the beauty that nature has to offer. He loved to swim in the salt water, breathe the fresh air and walk the beaches or take the odd trip. For many years, George and Marie were Halifax Moosehead season ticket holders and loved being part of the cheering faithful and in later years were avid fans of the many NHL games they watched on TV. He loved reading the morning paper, always keeping up on world and local news and loved tracking the price of his stocks he held with great pride and rarely missed BNN’s Market Call. George was a hard working, humble man that focussed on three core goals in life; faith, family, and friends and lived a life without yearning for worldly possessions or public notoriety. He accepted Jesus into his life as a teenager and his Christian faith was always paramount in anything he did and was his lifelong rock through good times and bad. He served as a Deacon in the Birchy Head and Head of St. Margaret’s Bay Baptist Churches, sung in the choir and led a boys youth group earlier in life. George was also a family man and loved his role as stepfather (“George or G”) to Marie’s two adult children and Grampy H to his grandchildren and he was active in their lives by hosting family meals, Easter egg hunts or attending their sporting or school events and supported them in all ways. Although often quiet and reserved, he loved to chat and often reminisced with friends and acquaintances from his newfound home or those old friends from Hammonds Plains. George is survived by his wife Marie, stepdaughter Elizabeth Estabrooks (Kevin), stepson Michael Grantham (Pauline) and granddaughters Veronica Grantham (Nick Manuel), Megan Babin (Joel) and grandson Andrew Estabrooks (Alexandra) and three great-grandchildren; Marshall, Charlee and David, along with his brother Ross Haverstock (Ruby) and his sister Frances (Francis-deceased), and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, his brothers and sisters along with their spouses; Donnie (Edith), Kendall (Audrey/Joyce), Audrey and Muriel. Funeral service at Head of St. Margaret’s Bay Baptist (6374 St. Margaret’s Bay Road) on Monday, March 10th at 11am with Rev. Pamela Estey officiating. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the church would be appreciated. Reception to follow in basement. Cremation has taken place, and a family committal will be scheduled later. Special thanks to all the folks at Parkland and the many health professionals along his journey.
