Notes

  • Obituary: Halifax Herald 10/30/2007 HAYWARD, Doris Marguerite - 76, Upper LaHave, passed away peacefully Sunday, October 28, 2007, at home. Born in Dayspring, she was a daughter of the late Phinnie and Emma (Naugler) Snyder. Doris was a member of St. Matthew's Anglican Church and a former member of the Anglican Ladies Guild. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 24, Bridgewater, and a member of the Bluenose Diva Dahlins Red Hat Group, Bridgewater. Doris was a gracious lady and a great listener. She supported and loved her large extended family and was always there to share a meal and old times with her many friends. Her grandchildren thought of her as the coolest grandmom "Cybergrammy", who learned to communicate in their language on her computer. She enjoyed time in her gardens, sewing, making crafts, camping, Frenchy's shopping and going to yard sales, and also socializing with friends. Doris' vibrant love of life, family and friends, and the community at large were so important to her. Her immense courage, strength of spirit, creativity and sense of humour will be carried forward by all those who knew and loved her. She was our "Antique Little Girl". Doris is survived by daughters, Cindy (Barry) Smith, Broad Cove; Debbie Handspiker, Bridgewater; Ann (Lucky) Tanner, Rhodes Corner; Nancy (Chris) Conrad, Sherri (Charles) Drake, Tania (Rod) Strowbridge and Nicole (Paul) Joudrey, all of Rose Bay; sons, Terry (Teena), Broad Cove; Larry (Annette), Rhodes Corner; Peter (Sharleen), Welland, Ont.; 21 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; chosen son, Martin (Sheila) Floyd, Upper LaHave; sisters, Delia Fraser, Kingston; Thelma Reid, Halifax; Jean Corkum, Dayspring; Karen (David) Wilkie, Bridgewater; brother, Harold Snyder, Bridgewater; sisters-in-law, Nellie Snyder, Crousetown; Pauline Snyder, Dayspring; Margaret Snyder, Ottawa; brother-in-law, Clarence Mailman, Whitby, Ont.
