Has anyone ever located an obit or death date for Ethel’s half-sister, Iona Darline (Eagles) Soley Lohnes?
I have never located Iona’s obit either as Soley or Lohnes.
Iona m/1 Claude Graham Soley Sr. in 1934 with issue of 5 Soley children whom Iona’s mother raised.
Claude m/2 Anna Martina (Paird) Cohn in 1966 while Iona m/2 Aubrey Gilbert Lohnes sometime after 1963.
Thanks in advance. Reply off the list if necessary.
Dave

Yorke, Ethel J. – Age 75, of Parrsboro, and formerly of Truro. It is
with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ethel J. Yorke at the
South Cumberland Community Care Centre, Parrsboro on Thursday, October 30,
2014 following a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born in Five
Islands, she was a daughter of the late Frederick and Josephine (Canning)
Aylward. Ethel is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, Darrell Yorke.
She will be deeply missed by her children, Donald Crossman (Zelda), New
Glasgow; Deb Crossman, Halifax; Heather Avery (Bram), Little Harbour; Sandi
Crossman, Westville; Joe Crossman, Antigonish; step-daughters, Suzanne

Beryl Johnson, Truro. Ethel was predeceased by her first husband, Donald H.
Crossman; sisters, Marie Canning, Mabel Feltmate, Elva Dunphy, Hazel
Manning; infant brother, Frederick Jr.; half-sister, Iona Soley. Ethel
enjoyed the outdoors, tending to her cottage and gardens which gave her
great joy, but most of all loved spending time with her family. In keeping
with Ethel’s wishes, there will be no visitation. A graveside funeral
service will be held 2 p.m. on Monday [November 3, 2014] at St. George’s
Anglican Cemetery, Parrsboro, Rev. Tory Byrne officiating. In lieu of
flowers, memorial donations in memory of our beautiful mother and
grandmother, wonderful wife, loving sister and aunt, may be made to the
Palliative Care Unit of South Cumberland Community Care Centre, Parrsboro.
