Obituary of Clyde Blois

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Clyde Seymour Blois on June 26, 2024, at the Hants Community Hospital in Windsor, Nova Scotia at age 90. Clyde was born on November 7, 1933, in Gore, Nova Scotia to the late Alfred and Daisy (Harvey) Blois. He was the youngest of 12 children and he married Hilda Mae Barron in 1955 and they had three sons. He had a lifelong career as a dairy and blueberry farmer with a great love for both the land and the forest. Upon retirement he and Hilda enjoyed many happy years of camping around the province. He loved animals and children and gardening in the summer and woods work in the winter. He loved old time music and attended jamborees whenever he could. In later years, he enjoyed the company of both new and old friends in the West Gore Wisemen men's group. Clyde is survived by his loving wife, Hilda, of 68 years; children, Barron (Debbie), Paul and Greg (Kathy); his seven beloved grandchildren, in order of their birth - Beau, Michael, Emmett, Jordan, Willem, Courtney and Morgan; great grandchildren, Issac, Arlo and Molly; numerous and well-loved nieces and nephews. We will remember him always with great affection, many stories and smiles. Besides his parents, Clyde is pre-deceased by his siblings Gladys Burns (Charlie), Ellen White (Walter), Florence Hennigar (Lester), Mary Brown (Howard), Shirley Parker (Gerry), Austin Blois (Sally), Thelma Phalen (Gordie), Ruth Ledwidge (Laurie), John Blois (Betty) and twins Olive and Harold Blois who died in infancy. We extend special thanks to the many home support workers and caregivers who went above and beyond to provide loving and competent care to Clyde.
