In Memory of
Ethleen
(Jake) Hastie
92, of Wolfville, passed away peacefully into the arms of
God on Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Born Hilda Ethleen Marguerite Jacobson,
in New Carlisle, Quebec, to Henry Edward Jacobson and Charlotte Grace Chatterton
on September 10, 1916. After earning her teaching degree at MacDonald College
in Quebec, she taught briefly at Baie Comeau High School in Baie Comeau,
Quebec. She married her beloved husband, the late Jack Bigelow Hastie, son
of Christopher (of Canso) and Hazel Hastie and brother to Jean Hastie of
Wolfville. She had two children, John Christopher Hastie, now of Wolfville
and Kathryn Jean (Hastie) Doughty, now of Sharon, Vermont. She was grandmother
to Alex Hastie and Ennaea Currie, and mother-in-law to Aunah Hastie. Jake
vacationed with Jack, Kathryn and John annually at Evangeline Beach, loving
to dine at Sterlings restaurant. She moved to Wolfville permanently in 1973.
A devoted Christian, she was a member of the Wolfville Baptist Church. She
loved to sing, dress in fine clothes and eat good food. Completing the
Chronicle Herald’s lexicon puzzle was an important weekly activity, hoping
that one day she would be the winner. She loved her children dearly and
was a devote believer in herbal medicine for good health. The last member
of her family, Jake was predeceased by her siblings Reta, Clyde, Annie,
Florence and Jim. Funeral arrangements are being coordinated by H.C. Lindsay
Funeral Home 568 Main St., Wolfville (902-542-2151). Her celebration of
life service will be held at 2 pm Saturday, April 25 at the Wolfville Baptist
Church, with burial at Willowbank Cemetery – all are welcome. Reception at
the home of John Hastie, 35 Minas View Drive, Wolfville. Given that she died
on Earth Day and loved flowers, memorial donations would be gratefully
appreciated for the beautification of the gardens in Willow Park, Wolfville
per the Town of Wolfville, 359 Main St, Wolfville, Nova Scotia B4P 1A1, in
her name. Private condolences may be sent to the family by visiting: www.hclindsayfuneralhome.ca
