| 694 | GRUVER, Adah November 2, 1924 - December 28, 2018. It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Adah Gruver, formerly of Halifax and Hantsport. Adah moved to Halifax from Los Angeles, Calif., in 1983, having previously fallen in love with Nova Scotia while visiting her daughter who was studying at Dalhousie. She became a proud Canadian citizen in 1986. After working as an oncology nurse at the Victoria General Hospital (ret. 1985), she moved to Hantsport to be closer to her daughter. In 2006, the family pulled up roots and moved west to Kamloops, B.C., but she never stopped missing her Nova Scotia home and the friends she left behind. Daughter of Alex and Anna Coropoff, Jewish émigrés from Russia, Adah grew up in San Pedro, Calif. Following graduation from high school (1942), she became a Registered Nurse (1946), and subsequently earned her BA in public health (1965). Shortly after graduating from nurses’ training she met and married Bernard Gruver, an aspiring cartoonist (divorced, 1975). They had four children: Jean (deceased), Clifford (deceased), Nancy, and Allison, and lived in Van Nuys, Calif. Adah was a fiercely compassionate humanitarian which motivated her many contributions in nursing, and in her volunteer work. Known as \'Nurse Mom\', she was a school nurse at some of the most challenging schools in Los Angeles (ret. 1982) and founding member of the United Teachers of Los Angeles. She volunteered with VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) (1975-77), helping to improve health care for the disadvantaged. At the Victoria General Hospital, she was known for her compassion and sensitive attention to the emotional needs of cancer patients and their families. Always politically involved, Adah volunteered with the New Democratic Party, serving as President of Alexa McDonough’s Constituency Association (1987-1990), and office manager for two of her campaigns. She was also an active member of the CanGo Grannies, and board member of the BCSPCA, devoting many hours to \'her kitties\' at the Kamloops Branch. These organizations gave her purpose and were also a source of lasting close friendships. An extraordinarily active person, she was an avid reader, travelled the world, and drove herself to gym classes at the \'Y\' until two months before her death from complications of leukemia. Above all, Adah was unconditionally devoted to her family. She was immensely proud of her daughters and their families and was a loving and engaged grandmother and great-grandmother. Adah died at home in the arms of her daughters. She will be remembered for her energy, honesty, generosity, sharp mind, quick wit, and brilliant sense of humour. Adah believed that her legacy was in her family which truly included many good friends. The secret of life, she said, was to \'live it,\' and that she did - in spades. She will be missed. A celebration of her life will be on April 27th, 2 p.m. in the Hal Rogers Activity Centre, Kamloops. | Coropoff, Adah (I4332)

Born in Hants Border on February 13, 1929, he was a son of the late James and Ola (Lockhart) Davies. In his younger years, Dad enjoyed skating and playing hockey and baseball. He also enjoyed playing the guitar and banjo. Dad learned the value of hard work being raised on a small farm in Hants Border. When the school day was over, he tended to the livestock and vegetable gardens and was responsible for bringing in firewood.

Dad was employed with H.B.M. Mechanical Limited in Wolfville which provided him and fellow employee Charles O'Leary (deceased) with opportunities to work in various places in Nova Scotia. Both had young families and saw a need for service work in Wolfville and surrounding areas. A decision was made to start their own business. In 1961, Davies & O'Leary Limited was formed and continues to operate today. For 57 years, Dad loved serving his many customers with electrical, plumbing, heating and appliance service. He appreciated each and every customer, working long hours including nights and weekends to provide service. Dad was committed to the trade and his craft. He had a very strong work ethic, which attributed to years of success of doing what he loved. Dad earned the title of being a well-respected tradesman in the area. Dad was never afraid of a challenge. In addition to working long hours with the business, he still found time for extracurricular activities. Dad coached Wolfville Minor Hockey, was involved with the Wolfville Lions Club, enjoyed watching NHL hockey, and loved taking us in his motorboat on the Minas Basin with trips to Boot Island to explore. After he retired, Dad spent many hours working outdoors at his property which brought him so much enjoyment. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Carlton; and sister-in-law, Mildred (King). The family wishes to thank the staff of Valley Regional Hospital for their compassion, kindness and care during his stay. Donations may be made to the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice. | Davies, Harry Frederick (I3753)
