Alba V. (Russell) Haley, wife of the late Ralph Haley, and
daughter of the late Guy and Bessie (Cann) Russell, passed away on
Saturday, April 16th at the age of 101. Alba
passed very peacefully at Lincourt Manor with family by her
side.
Mom’s main goal in life was looking after her
family, and she was always there when we needed her. While
mom worked at various places in St. Stephen, her main place of work
was Carman’s Diner, which she also considered as family.
After retiring as a waitress, she baked pies and donuts for the diner
for many years.
Mom was a member of Eastern Star, Pythian Sisters and the
Kirk McColl United Church. Mom had great faith in prayer which gave
her great comfort.
Mom is survived by six children, daughter Donna (Stu) Mowry,
sons Floyd (Lorna), Larry (Teri), Steve (Anita), Eric (Christine),
Peter (Karla) and daughter-in-law Judy Haley; as well as fifteen
grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, nieces and
nephews.
In addition to her husband and parents, Alba was predeceased
by brothers Wendell (in infancy) and Layton Russell, sisters Pauline
Gullison and Rosalie Jackson, and son Albert Haley.
