<div itemprop="description">Harding, Beverley Anne. It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Beverley Anne Harding on Sunday, May 10, 2015 in her 64th year. She was a beloved daughter of E. Sarah Peterson and the late Burton Harding. Dear sister of David (Maureen) Harding, Pictou Island and Halifax; loving aunt to their two daughters, Moira Harding, Halifax and Amy Harding, Austin, Texas; also cherished sister of Stephen (Darleen) Harding, Kentville, and loving aunt to his three sons, Justin (Amber) Harding, Okotoks, Alberta, Matthew Harding, Halifax and Luke Harding, Calgary, Alberta. Born in Yarmouth, Anne began her travels early as an air force child growing up in Europe and regions of Canada. After graduating from U.N.B. with a degree in Physical Education / Kinesiology, she taught in Montreal, before embarking on a career in television with CBC, Halifax. She was an award winning, on-air journalist, hosting current affairs shows and producing documentaries in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto. Following a few spa vacations in the early 80&rsquo;s, Anne began research and full time travel across North America to self-publish her first spa travel guide, &ldquo;Spa to Fitness&rdquo; in 1986. Her second book, &ldquo;Select Spas in Canada, USA, Mexico&rdquo; soon followed in 1989. Having visited over 240 Spas during this intensive research and market analysis, she was contacted by management consulting firms to prepare feasibility studies and development plans for Spas. Anne was off on a new career. For 14 years, she covered the growing health Spa and fitness travel industry for Time, USA Today, The Globe and Mail, Flare, Elle, etc., and launched her first Spa magazine for a US publisher, with her as Executive Editor for 16 months. In 1997, she moved back home to Nova Scotia, launched her Spa Quest magazine and continued consulting with the successful development of &ldquo;Cascades&rdquo;, a serenity day Spa in Bedford and the stunning &ldquo;Spa at Monastery&rdquo; in St. John&rsquo;s, Newfoundland. Anne will be fondly remembered by her many friends and colleagues across Canada and the USA, in particular, her dear friend, Dr. Susan Lindley, Montreal, Quebec. Cremation has taken place under the care of Atlantic Funeral Home, 6552 Bayers Road, Halifax. As Anne wished, a private family service will take place at a later date. Her family convey special thank you to Doctors and Nursing staff at the QEII for the wonderful care they gave Anne during the three weeks before her passing. For those who wish, memorial donations to the Canadian Liver Foundation would be appreciated. Online condolences may be made by visiting the Halifax chapel at www.atlanticfuneralhomes.com</div>
