Kinney, Hilda Esther – Port
Hawkesbury Nursing Home/Steep Creek – Age 86. It is with heavy hearts
that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister,
grandmother and great grandmother on Thursday, April 23, 2020 in
Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston. Her kindness knew no
bounds
Born in Point Tupper to the late Joseph and Marguerite
(MacMillan) O’Toole, Hilda left home at a young age to begin
her life working in various jobs while attending night school in
Sydney. Her fondest memories were of her time spent
as “the little teacher” in the small school house in
Sampsonville.
Hilda is now once again reunited with her dancing partner in
life, Millard Kinney, with whom she lived and raised a family of five
children in Steep Creek. Esther (Peter) Atkinson,
Courtney, Arnold (Marina), Warren (Denise) and Verna (John)
Halloran. Hilda also found such joy in her
grandchildren who were blessed by her kind and loving
soul. Brandy Horne (fiancée Matthew
Brannon), Wanda (Wade) Penney, Tashi Brown, Robert Kinney, Heather
(Ryan) Brophy, Connor Royale (fiancée Megan Ellis),
Chandler Kinney, Jeremy Kinney, Maria Kinney, Jacob Halloran, and
Maggie Halloran; great grandchild, Autumn Penney and another due in
fall. Hilda is survived by sisters, Helen O’Toole, Mille
(Clifford) DeCoste; brothers, Raymond O’Toole, Lawrence
“Tug” O’Toole; sister-in-law, Paula
O’Toole; brother-in-law, Angus (Bonnie)
Kinney. Predeceased by husband, Millard, brothers,
Francis, Danny, Ronnie and Lenny O’Toole.
A special thank you to the loving staff of the Port
Hawkesbury Nursing Home for their years of ongoing kindness and care
and also Dr. Collins and staff of Strait Richmond hospital. A
graveside service will be held at a later time in St. Lawrence Parish
Cemetery, Mulgrave.
