He worked as a mechanic at the service station in Windsor for several years, and started Herb’s Auto Repair in 1991. If he didn’t know what was wrong with your car, it couldn’t be fixed. Dad met the love of his life in 1957. They were married for 56 years before she went to heaven in 2018. A quiet man by nature, he enjoyed the outdoors and time spent with his family and friends.

One of his greatest joys was his grandchildren. Great memories were made. He and Travis enjoyed their yearly fishing trips to Cape Breton.

| 869 | Hilda Hariett Murphy Age 78, of Cheverie, died peacefully, with her family by her side, in Haliburton Place, Hants Community Hospital, Windsor on Tuesday, September 7, 2021. Born in Avonport, January 7, 1943, she was a loving daughter of the late Harry Elias and Jessie Mildred (Tracey) Schofield. Mom was the most caring, loving woman you’d ever want to meet. She was at ease striking up a conversation with a total stranger. She loved life, people, music, her annual August Potluck on her deck for friends and family, shopping, selling her cushions and most of all, her kids. Never once did she ever hang up the phone or walk out the door without kissing us and telling us she loved us. Mention road trip or restaurant and she was the first one in the car, especially loving her many trips to the states with Carter and Valerie. Always coming back with a new purse and watch, no matter how many times she was there. Having had many health problems from the day she was born, she never let it get in her way. She had two children to raise on her own and money had to be earned. Besides her loving parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Ralph Vaughan; sister, Blanche Schofield; brothers, Arnold, Merton and Clint; brothers-in-law, Ross Keeling and Sonny Swinamer and sister-in-law, Yvonne Schofield. Due to current COVID restrictions, there will be a public graveside service held on Saturday, September 11 at 2:00 p.m. in Cheverie United Church Cemetery, 2093 New Cheverie Rd., Rev. Jeff Bursey officiating, assisted by Lois Brison-Brown. | Schofield, Hilda Hariett (I16531)

Growing up she attended Springhill Baptist Church and took part in the Sunday school, Mission Band, Girl Guides, Brownies and BYPU Youth Group. After her education in the Springhill schools, she trained as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Nova Scotia Sanitarium in Kentville. This was when she met her husband to be, Norman.

She went to work at Queensway Hospital before moving back to Nova Scotia in 1975. After a short time at Hants Community Hospital, she went to work at Canadian Keys Fiber. Although Arlene enjoyed nursing and her patient contact, the work at CKF gave her Sundays and holidays off to be with her family. Arlene retired after 30 years of service at the end of 2006.

Upon retirement she faced a knee replacement and a mastectomy. After her treatments, she was happy to be on the go and enjoy all the new adventures that came her way such as a trip to Disney, a Panama cruise, a trip to Jamaica, Tidal Bore rafting and a Hot Air Balloon ride. She also enjoyed any time she could spend with family or friends, travelling far and near to see them. Arlene enjoyed needle work for many years but the computer became her new pastime. It helped her keep in touch with her New Zealand pen pal that she had since 1959. Arlene was especially proud of her children for becoming such great and capable individuals. She was also happy to see them married and doing well with loving spouses. Arlene was so proud of her granddaughter, Rose for becoming such a beautiful person inside and out.
