Edna Josephine (Babes) Hines Passed on: March 6th, 2017 Edna Josephine (Babes) Hines, passed away Monday, March 6th, 2017, after a long and brave battle with Diabetes and Heart failure. She was born to the late Dan J Mulvihill and Florence Mulvihill, Sydney (Shipyards), NS. Edna was married for 52 years to her husband, John Franklyn Hines. Enda was extremely loving and proud of her three children, Derrick Hines (Jennifer), Dartmouth, Shauna Hines, Halifax and Jason Hines (Trish), Monterey, California. She is also survived by her brother, Tommy (Cheryl), Allan (Aggie), Michael (Janet) Grande Cashe Alberta, Gregory (Bonnie) Sudbury ON, twins Linda Powers (Jimmy) and Lynn (Diane) Sydney and youngest Ann McCormick (Bob) Edmonton Alberta. She will be sorrowfully missed by her six grandchildren, Tomasz, Mitchell and Elizabeth Hines, Dartmouth Jesse, Ben and Sam Abbass, Halifax, as well as his many nieces and nephews and in-laws. Enda was a loving mother, wife, grandmother and friend to all. She was always quick to laugh and even faster to show her love and support. Edna was always there and never far from dad (John). They loved spending time out on the Mira River, hosting lively gatherings, cooking and baking and feeding everyone, vacationing in Ingonish, Inverness, PEI, Mexico and a trip of a lifetime to Ireland. As well California, New Hampshire, New York and of course Maine, where John and Edna lived for several years when they were first married. Later in life, they would drive around Cape Breton for an ice cream and enjoyed stopping at the Cedar House for a large piece of pie. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention that she loved shopping at Value Village which was very evident when she’d show her newly acquired purchases. It was also important when calling Mom to be cognizant of when Coronation Street was coming on as to not interrupt. This was one of her and Dad’s favorite shows. Her smile will be remembered forever in our hearts. Enda worked for over 30 years at St Rita’s hospital in the school of nursing and finished her career at the newly built Cape Breton Regional Hospital. She loved helping people and could not go anywhere without knowing a friendly face. A very special thank you to the staff at New Waterford Consolidated Hospital for all their loving care and support, they truly made a difference. We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to Linda Powers. The support and love that you gave Mom over her lifetime could never be measured. Cremation has taken place.
