- Florence Louise Wolfe (Trenholm), died at her home in Lequille, Annapolis County on December 2, 2018. Born in Wolfville on March 22, 1934, the second of four daughters, to John and Evelyn (MacKinlay) Trenholm. She was predeceased by her husband Lorenzo and her sister Jean Neder. Florence and her sisters grew up on a dairy farm in Grand Pre which prepared them all for a life of work. She graduated as a Registered Nurse from the VG in 1957 and worked for 10 years in Halifax, Kentville and Liverpool before purchasing the Rest Home in Annapolis Royal in 1966. With determination and the help of a lot of amazing people from the area, she built the rest home into the Annapolis Royal Nursing Home Ltd. After her retirement from the Nursing Home, she decided she would pursue her dream of opening a craft shop. She was accomplished in many forms of crafts and handiwork and spent the next 10 years happily running “A Gift of Time”, in Annapolis Royal and travelling in her off time. She spent 25 winters going to Florida and had many cherished friendships with people from all over North America. These last few years were spent designing and making cards with a great group of local ladies. There were few idle hours in Florence’ life. She enjoyed a term as President of the ARVFD Ladies Auxiliary, played bridge, bowled for many years and was a serious cribbage player as those who played with her will attest. Her sense of humour and good nature will always be remembered.
