Wile, Dorothy Arlene (Barkhouse) - It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our dear Mom, Dorothy Arlene Wile (nee: Barkhouse) age 89 of Kentville, N.S. formerly of Medford, Kings Co., N.S. She passed away June 16, 2013, at the Evergreen Special Care Home where she has resided for the past number of years. Mom was born September 15, 1923 in Medford, N.S. and at a young age, she married Gilbert Guy Wile and they lived in various places in the Valley up until the time of her passing. Mom loved to garden, sing, play her guitar, do handwork making beautiful quilts and embroidering many projects, and taking care of her home and family. Her delicious apple pies, raisin bread, soups, homemade bread and luscious molasses cookies will not soon be forgotten. Had the opportunity been there, her musical abilities would have probably earned her a recording contract in the Southern Gospel and/or country music fields. She loved these genres of music and welcomed any person to join her when playing her guitar and singing. Her Christian faith was a sustaining force during her lifetime. She was predeceased by her parents, Clarence and Charlotte (Conrad) Barkhouse, her husband, Gilbert, an infant son (in 1953), three brothers, Aubrey, Alfred and Wilbert, two sisters, Evelyn Carver and Reta Spinney and three stepsons, Alvin Wile, Melburne Wile, Basil Wile and one stepdaughter, Olive Sylvia Ryan. She was resting at the Serenity Funeral Home, Wolfville, N.S. where the funeral service was Saturday, June 22 at 2 p.m. Visitation tooktake place on Friday, June 21, 2 until 4 in the afternoon and in the evening, 7 until 9 p.m. Burial took place in Habitant, Kings Co., N.S.
