A Memorial Service for the late F. Audrey Nightingale was held at First Baptist Church Halifax on Friday, February 23 at 1 p.m. We extend our sincere sympathy to Audrey's family and friends.
NIGHTINGALE, F. Audrey
- October 14, 1922-February 19, 2007. We deeply regret to announce the
loss of our beloved Audie who passed away peacefully on February 19 at
her home. Audrey was a daughter of the late Frank A. and Grace M.
Nightingale, and sister to the late Laurie A. Nightingale. After
graduating from Halifax Ladies College, Audrey represented Nova Scotia
in the first contingent of Red Cross volunteers to open hostels in
London for Canadian women during the Second World War. Lieutenant F.
Audrey Nightingale CROC stayed in London and attended Leeds College and
Eaton University where she became a Certified Laboratory Technician.
Upon her return from the U.K., Audrey traveled across Canada to open
blood clinics for the Red Cross. Audrey spent 28 years at Camp Hill
Hospital in their lab until her retirement in 1990. During her busy
career she, without fail, attended to the needs of all her nieces,
nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. She rarely missed a school or
sporting event, and when a family member was in need, she was the first
one there. There is not a niece, nephew, grandniece or grandnephew who,
at birth, was not nurtured by our Audie. She will be sadly missed and
fondly remembered by her sisters, Phyllis, Bedford; Melda Dunnet,
Toronto; and Thalia Delano, Hubbards; many nieces, nephews, grandnieces
and grandnephews. Funeral service will be held in First Baptist Church,
1300 Oxford St., Halifax, on Friday, February 23, at 1 p.m. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to First Baptist Church or a charity of
your choice.
