Patterson, Glorena M. (Hoadley)
The family of Glorena (Glo) Patterson, Bedford, is deeply saddened to announce her passing on March 14, 2023 in Halifax Hospice at the age of 95 . She was the oldest daughter of a family of 3 boys and 3 girls and was the last surviving member. Growing up in Rockingham, N.S., she was predeceased by her parents, Percy and Augusta Hoadley, brothers David, Robert, John and sisters June Cruickshank and Lois Bingley. She was also predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Arnold (Arnie) and sons-in-law, Malcolm Gray and Patrick Daly. Glorena is survived by her two daughters, Carol and Lori Patterson, both of Bedford, grandchildren Ian (Annie) Gray, Bedford; Colin Gray, Halifax; Liam Daly, Ottawa; Andrea Daly, Toronto and four great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews. Glo lived a long and full life. She was a glamour girl growing up in wartime Halifax and fondly relayed her many tales of attending dances, hockey games and other events around town. Glorena was also adventurous for her time, striking out in her twenties to go work as a medical secretary in Boston. She returned to Halifax to work at the CNR and met her future husband who ventured into the office one day as a young reporter. They enjoyed many years together while raising their family, living in Montreal and Toronto before returning to live in the Halifax area. She was a strong support for her husband, Arnie, in his many business endeavours and they also shared adventures travelling together and parties with their close group of friends. She was acknowledged as a guiding force to be reckoned with who anchored the family. Glo was an enthusiastic participant and spectator of many sports with a particular fondness for golf and hockey, as well as being an enthusiastic birder, gardener and follower of current events. She was a long time and active member of Christ Anglican Church in Dartmouth. An avid golfer, she was a member of Brightwood Golf Club for over 60 years, as well as playing at Isla del Sol Golf & Yacht Club in St. Petersburg, Florida where she once had a hole-in-one. She was also proud of shooting close to her age in her mid 80’s. There will be no funeral by request. Special thanks to the wonderful caregivers at Palliative Care Floor, QE2 Hospital, V.G. Site and Halifax Hospice during her last months. Condolences may be made online by visiting www.dartmouthfuneralhome.ca.
