The family of Dinah Doucette sadly announces her death which occurred at the Cove Nursing Home, Sydney, July 01, 2013.
Her son Bedford was with her. Dinah was born in Cheticamp, Nova Scotia on June 21, 1912, the eldest daughter of Willie P. and Emma (LeForte) Haché.
At an early age Dinah, whose name is Marie Donathilde Hache, moved to Reserve Mines where she worked at St. Joseph Hospital, Glace Bay, and then as kitchen staff for the Sisters of Charity, St. Joseph Convent, Reserve. It was from there that Dinah met and eventually married Peter Doucette who was barbering at the time in Reserve, a service he joyfully provided in Reserve for over 45 years. Dinah was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
Peter and Dinah had five children, Cyril (Betty Wiseman) and their family of Rob, Rickie and Rayna, Woodstock, N.B., Corrine (Earl Andrews) with Franklin, Cal, Laureen and Darrin, Brampton, ON, Fr. Bedford (Diocese of Antigonish), Sydney; Leonard (Marilyn Tortola with Jason, Chad, Marianne, Melanie and Marc) Ottawa, On.; Lloyd (Scott and Tyson), Halifax, NS. Dinah has 19 great grandchildren.
Dinah was widely known and respected in Reserve and Scotchtown where she and Peter moved in 1974 after a lifetime in Reserve. She was recognized as a good wife and mother. She was a member of St. Joseph Parish, Reserve Mines and later at St. Michael in Scotchtown. Dinah was totally committed to her family and faith, to being a stay at home Mom and a “home-maker”. She was always there for her family and many friends.
A gracious and hospitable woman, she hosted many neighbors and life long friends whom she missed deeply in later years. A woman of great faith, Dinah had a particular devotion to the Rosary. Due to health reasons, she spent some time with her son, Leonard and family in Ottawa. In 2007 she went to the Cove Guest Home in Sydney where she continued to show her sincere concern for others. Dinah was always grateful for even the smallest kindness.
Visitation will be held on Thursday from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay.
The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph Church, Reserve Mines, Friday, 10:30 a.m. followed by a reception in the church hall.
Burial will be next to her beloved husband, Peter in St. Michael’s Cemetery, Scotchtown.
As an expression of sympathy for Dinah memorial donations in her memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
