- MORINE (Crouse) (Anderson), Grace W. D. — It is with sad and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great great-grandmother, Grace W. D. (Crouse) (Anderson) Morine, Avonport, Kings Co. on Wednesday, August 11, 2010, in Dykeland Lodge, Windsor. Born on January 25, 1916, in Branch LaHave, Lunenburg Co., she was a daughter of the late Arthur and Ella (Seraten) (Misner) Crouse. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was predeceased by her first husband, Orlo Anderson in 1970; her second husband, (James) Byron Morine in 2008; sisters, Lydia Crouse, Hilda Frank, Doris Crouse, Lorna Wentzell and Muriel Frank; brothers, Oran, Moyle, Harold, Garland, Doran, Walter, Lloyd, Eugene and Earlen; granddaughters, Jacqueline Lockhart, in infancy, and Andrea Karen Lockhart; sons-in-law, George Eastman and Dale Forsythe; step son-in-law, Gerald Allen. As a very young woman, she was a \'nanny\' for several families in Halifax. She worked along side of her first husband, Orlo, for many years on the family farm on River Road, Avonport. She also worked for a number of years at the fruit and vegetable cannery in Port Williams and for 13 years at CKF, Hantsport. Grace enjoyed many years camping with the Autumn Leaves Chapter of the NCHA along with her husband, Byron. The few years she lived in Hantsport, she was a faithful member of Helping Hand Rebekah Lodge No. 40 (Kings Daughter’s) and a member of the Hantsport Baptist Church. She was an active member of the Silver and Gold Club, Wolfville and a member of the Avonport United Baptist Church. She was a hard worker her entire life and always put the welfare of her family before herself. Her greatest love was for her family; nothing delighted her more than to hear from family members close by and those who were living away. In her senior years, she really enjoyed knitting, crocheting and doing her \'Word Find\' puzzles! The funeral service will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, August 14, in Avonport United Baptist Church, Rev. Gary Manthorne officiating. Burial will take place in Lower Horton Cemetery, Grand Pré.
