1920-2018
Helen
Isabelle (Newcombe) Hiltz (Sept. 28, 1920-April 17, 2018) – age 97
years young, surrounded, with love from her
family, Helen passed peacefully into her saviours arms. Born in the
family home in Port Williams, she was the daughter of Charles and
Beatrice (Weaver) Newcombe and is the last surviving member of her
family. Helen was employed for many years by Port Williams Agencies
and also helped run the family hardware store in Port Williams. Helen
never had idle hands and volunteered with many different organizations
including the St. John’s Anglican Church Ladies Auxiliary, Palliative
Care, Salvation Army’s Red Kettle project and enjoyed knitting bears
and caps for the preemie infants. She led a very active life and loved
music, baking, needle work, cycling, walking but most of all loved
skating. Her last trip around the ice surface was on her
90th birthday. Helen was predeceased by her
husband, Balfour; sister, Margaret and brother, Howard. Left to mourn
her passing are her chosen children, Peter (Janet), Sunken Lake;
Murray, Halifax and Margaret, Moncton, NB; her beloved grandchildren,
Nicole (Todd), Coldbrook; Travis (Sydney), Halifax; Ryan (Jelina),
Kentville; Cory, Kingston; Claudia (Scott), Halifax; Ryan (Naomi),
Halifax; Corey and Megan, Halifax; Josh and Kyle, NB and Daniel, ON.
Helen was also blessed with nine great grandchildren, and will be
missed by several nieces and nephews. The family would like to
acknowledge and thank the staff of the Grand View Manor for their love
and compassionate care for Helen. Cremation has taken place and there
will be no visitation, at Helens request. The funeral service and
reception will be held at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 24, 2018 in the
White Family Funeral Home, Kentville. A private family burial will
