Avery Floyd Schofield
1930-2021
Avery Floyd Schofield (b. May 7, 1930,
Greenwich) passed away on May 7, 2021 at the age of 91 in the Valley
Regional Hospital, Kentville, after suffering a stroke. Avery was a
loving husband and caring father. He grew up in the Annapolis Valley
until he moved to Guelph, ON in the late 40’s. There, he
met, and married, his wife Patricia Lamont on July 28, 1951. He joined
the Canadian Army at the age of 21 and fought courageously with the
Royal Canadian Regiment in Korea, 1952-1953. He was wounded twice. He
continued his career in the Army having transferred to the Royal
Canadian Army Service Corps in Petawawa and Lakeview (Toronto),
Ontario, and Gagetown, New Brunswick. He retired as a Sergeant after
20 years of service. Returning to the Valley he worked as a cook for
the Paramount Hotel, Wolfville, Saga Foods (Acadia University), CFB
Greenwood and Waterville Correctional Centre. Retiring early, he kept
busy building: antique cars, houses and furniture (with his uncle) and
a caring home for his family. As a Korean War Veteran and Royal
Canadian Legion member, he always remembered his service to his
country and appreciated his country’s commitment to him. He
was predeceased by his parents, Floyd and Mary; brothers, Gerald and
Arden; sisters, Alma and Phyllis; wife, Patricia (d. April 1992); and
his loving son, David (d. March 2016). He is survived by his children,
Christopher (Jane), Ottawa, ON; Avery (Bob), Kentville; Jacqueline
(Frank), Fredericksburg, VA; Stephen (Denise), New Minas; and Joy
(Allison), Halifax; as well as 11 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren. Cremation has taken place and he will be laid to
rest in the White Rock Cemetery, White Rock. Donations in memory may
be made to the Royal Canadian Legion or a charity of choice. Funeral
arrangements have been entrusted to the
White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville. On-line
