It is with deep sadness, we announce the
peaceful passing of Mary (Blanchard)
Hopkins, age 90, of Springhill, NS. Mary passed away at
the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre on Tuesday, December 26,
2023.
Born in Springhill, she was a daughter
of the late Herbert and Edith (White) Blanchard.
First and foremost, family was her love
and priority. As a stay at home mom, she spent endless time making the
family home a welcoming, loving, and safe haven for her husband, four
daughters and grandchildren. Her love of family extended to all
generations, and thanks to her efforts, her daughters and
grandchildren enjoyed close relationships with multi-generational
family members. Hosting family holidays and extended family gatherings
were a great joy for her. She loved spending endless hours at the
beach walking, swimming, and enjoying her family. She was a dedicated
member of the Saint David’s Presbyterian Church and was the last
member of the St. David’s Ladies Guild. She enjoyed being active from
an early age; some of her favourties were ice skating (she wore the
same ice racers for over 50 years), dancing, bowling and darts. She
and Mac (Dad) were a recognized couple on the dance floor – jiving,
waltzing; she on her own – line dancing and polka. She was a creative
person who sewed, knitted, crocheted, tole painted,
macraméd, worked with stain glass, and rug hooked. She
enjoyed reading, all kinds of music, and playing cards with several
groups over the years. She actively attended her children’s and
grandchildren’s Christmas concerts, sporting events, and anything and
everything important to them. When needed, she was there for a long
talk or short one, a hug and/or kiss, or making a road trip. She was
our biggest and proudest cheerleader and only a phone call
away.
She will be dearly missed by her
daughters, Marlene Hopkins, Denise Hopkins, Dawn Aubry all of
Springhill, and Diane (Rick) Cecchetto of Amherst; 3 grandchildren,
Jonathan Rolfe, Jarrod Rolfe (Paige Matthews) and Mikhayla Sweet
(Simon Driscoll); great grandchildren Faith, Bowen, Cooper and Brooks;
Stephen Rolfe; Michael (Anita) Aubry, Jeremy Aubry and their families;
sisters Eleanor Hunter, Amherst and Catherine (Harvey) Davies, London,
ON; as well as several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband
Alexander «Mac» Hopkins; son-in-law Jean Aubry; brothers
Donald, Gerald and Arthur Blanchard; and several nieces and
nephews.
