Thelma Leola (Dubin) Whalen – 92 of Moorestown,
New Jersey, U.S.A., passed away March 21, 2020 in Jefferson Cherry
Hill Hospital, Cherry Hill , New Jersey. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts,
she was the daughter of the late Clyde and Edith (Wheaton)(Sidney)

family. She is survived by a sister in law, Helen (Atwater) Whalen,
New Minas; three nephews, Eric Whalen, New Minas, Brian (Pam)Whalen,
Coldbrook, Bruce (Sandy) Whalen, New Minas; lifelong friend, Minnie
Sheffield, Centreville. Beside her parents, Thelma was
predeceased by her husband, Hank Dubin; a brother, Gordon Clyde Whalen

husband, Hank, were avid antique collectors. Singing and listening to
opera music was a favourite pastime of Thelma’s. Although
she resided in New Jersey, she thoroughly enjoyed her summer visits to
Nova Scotia. Her beloved “Bay Barn” had a special place in
her heart. A private family burial has taken place in
Lakeville Cemetery, Lakeville, Kings County. The family would
like to express a sincere thank you to Carol Johnson,
Thelma’s friend in New Jersey. We appreciate your kindness
and all you have done for our Aunt Thelma. Also, many thanks to the
