It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Barbara Eline Brooks,79, on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014, at the Northside Community Guest Home.
Born in Weymouth, N.S., she was the loving daughter of the late William and Mabel (Dale) Brooks.
Eline was raised in Weymouth and upon graduation from high school she went on to take secretarial training at the Sir George William College in Montreal and remained there to work for Sears. She later moved to Sydney to care for her brother Dale and his children. Eline was a talented knitter who took great pleasure in creating many beautiful knitted items for her loved ones.
She will be greatly missed by her surviving sisters, Gwen Vibert, Sydney, Joyce Ward, New York, Marjorie Dixon, Australia, and her brother Noel (wife Estelle) Brooks, Bible Hill. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Joan Brooks, North Sydney, a lifelong friend Nellie Theriault, Weymouth, and many nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Eline was predeceased by her dear sister and her husband Noreen and Jack Ward, New York, brothers, Dale and Irvin Brooks, brothers-in-law, Kerr Vibert, Richard Ward and John Dixon.
The family would like to thank Dr. John Kirkpatrick and all of Eline’s loving care givers at the Northside Community Guest Home for the care and compassion shown to her during the time spent under your care.
In honour of Eline’s wishes there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held at a later date in Weymouth.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney.
