It is with deep sadness and shock that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Elaine Melda Clyke on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in Sydney.

Born on June 13, 1952, in Guysborough, Elaine was the daughter of the late Cecil and Lominda Clyke.

Elaine is survived by her eight children, Loretta (John), David, Reid, Shequinta, Chris, Cory, Robert, and Richard; sisters, Helen (Paul), Betty (Julian), Debbie (Rocky), Lillian, and Anna; brothers, Peter (Maryann), and Gerald; grandchildren, Marcel, Brandon, Santana, Zachary, Reece, Emma, Breanna, Jayden, Johnny, Jacob, Sopia, and Isabella; as well as aunts, uncles, many great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Besides her parents, Elaine was predeceased by her sisters, Diana, and Margaret; brothers, Douglas, Manning, and her longtime partner, David.

Elaine will be remembered for her kindness and the love she held for her family.

There will be no visitation for the late Elaine Clyke. A celebration of life will take place at a later date when family members can gather together.

Donations in memory of Elaine may be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.

Rest in peace, peanut; you will always be remembered.
