Rhona Kathleen (Scotney) Allen
1920-2019
Surrounded by family and serenaded by
angels, Rhona Kathleen (Scotney) Allen,
moved to her heavenly home on April 12, 2019 at the age of
98. Rhona was born May 20, 1920 to the late Albert and
Florence Jane Scotney, In Burlington, South Mountain, Berwick,
NS.
She was the last surviving member of her
immediate family of eleven. Cherished mother of Roberta
Allen, Port Elgin, Naureen (George) Mason, Amherst, Elizabeth (Jim)
Rogers, Berry Mills, Mary (Yochem) VanSchuppen, Jolicure, Andrew
(Florence) Allen, Antigonish, Eileen (George) Millard, Debert, Kenneth
(Mary) Allen, Pennfield, and daughters in love, Anne Allen, Amherst
and Linda (Ray) Allen-Moore, Amherst.
Beloved by her twenty-four
grandchildren, and spouses, thirty three great-grandchildren, eleven
great-great-grandchildren, fifteen step grandchildren, and one step
great-great-granddaughter, totaling 133 altogether, as well
as many nieces and nephews. Rhona is predeceased by the love
of her life of 70.5 years, David; daughter Darlene, in infancy, sons,
David and Eric; sons-in-love, Lloyd Allen and Don MacDonald; three
grandchildren; Three great-great-grandchildren and a grandson-in-love,
Chad, as well as sisters, Alva, Eileen, Vera, Gabrille, Phyllis,
Vendula, and Beatrice and brothers, Albert, Delbert, and
Douglas.
Rhona married in 1938, and was a devoted
wife and mother, creating a home of love and security that we will
forever cherish. She was a mother to many others as well and
was always looking for ways to make them feel special. She had
assisted with the bookkeeping and payroll for her husband’s many
employment endeavours for many years. Her «Joy»
was Jesus first, others second, and herself last. She was an
active member of the Timber River Pentecostal Church, even serving on
the church board for a season.
Well done mom, you have left us with
precious memories, a Godly heritage, that home made bread, second to
none, your baked beans, and so much more. There is a light beaming
brightly now around that heavenly throne. The party’s not
here you know, it’s over there, dear ones, our final
home.
Rhona’s remains have been entrusted into
the care of the Jones Funeral Home’s Port
Elgin location, 3 West Main Street, (538-2241) from where visitation
will be held on Sunday, April 14, 2019 from 4-8 pm. A
funeral service will be held at the funeral home on Monday at 2
