91, Glace Bay/Sydney It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Eva Hynes, Monday, May 19, 2008, surrounded by her loving family, at the Glace Bay Hospital. Born in Sydney, she was a daughter of the late Duncan J. and Flora (McLean) MacMillan of 236 Whitney Ave. Eva resided in Glace Bay where she raised her family. In 1945, Eva formed a women’s club called ‘The Twilight Club’ and although there were changes in membership over the years, it continued through to the year 2000. One of Eva’s greatest joys was spending time at family gatherings where her fun-hearted personality was enjoyed and appreciated by her children and grandchildren alike – the grandkids coined the phrase: “Nan’s Cool”. Eva was a remarkable lady who embraced life with a marvellous sense of humor and a zest for life.
