Allene Mary Hines
August 18, 1931 – March 12, 2021
Allene Mary Hines passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on March 12 in the VG Hospital. She was predeceased by her husband Donald (2010), her parents Harry and Gladys (Lydiard) Nolan, and her brother Robert. She is survived by her children: David, Porter’s Lake; Paul, Ottawa; Greg (Mary), Bedford; Anne Ferris (Tom) Waverley and their children Mark, Paul, Kevin, Laura; Lynda MacGillivray (Ray) and their children Gregory, Patrick, Marie Noiles (Chris) and their daughter Faith, Ottawa.
Allene graduated from St. Patrick’s Girls High School. She then pursued a career as legal secretary before her marriage to Donald in 1953. Mom was a devoted wife and mother, and a helpful daughter to her aging parents. She was our caregiver, chauffeur, tutor, and counsellor. Mom loved to swim in the lake, watch hockey, bake, read the daily paper completing the puzzles, appreciate nature and wildlife, and spend time in her garden. She was a strong, kind and generous woman. She had a warm welcome for all, and time for a cup of tea and conversation at her kitchen table. She spent many happy and active years with her grandchildren, and as she did with her own children she found adventure for them everywhere. The happy memories we shared with her will be cherished forever.
Mom was generous with her time and volunteered in her church, children’s schools, charities, and amateur sports. In later years she volunteered by driving, baking, and contributing to fundraising efforts for the Friends Among Friends group in Dartmouth East. She expressed her gratitude for the support, fellowship and many hours of enjoyment that a member of our family found in their weekly meetings. Any charitable donations to this group in memory of Allene would be gratefully appreciated.
