Lynds, Eileen Elizabeth (Creelman), 91, Truro. Our beautiful mother and grandmother passed away on Monday, August 15, 2016, in the Colchester East Hants Health Centre Truro, with her family by her side. Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late Noble and Flora (Phillips) Creelman. She was predeceased by her husband, Dalmar; brothers, Louis and William; daughter, Patricia; son, David. Eileen is survived by her four children, Barbara (Carson) MacLeod, Truro, James (Rose) Lynds, New Glasgow, Darlene (Bob) Purdy, Toronto; Selina (Andy) Lynds, Toronto; son-in-law, Lee MacLeod, Truro; eleven grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; sister, Joyce Creelman, Truro; special friend, Earl Holt, New Glasgow. Eileen lived in various locations in and around Truro, and spent many wonderful years in the Annapolis Valley. In her earlier years Eileen owned and operated Polly’s Tea House and Cabins in Wentworth Valley. She was hostess at the Palliser Restaurant for many years. In later years she and friend Allison McMullin owned The Towne Shop in Truro and later she and her son opened the Daybreak Donut Café in New Minas. Eileen volunteered for church and community wherever she resided, always quickly to give of her time and talents. Always a good friend and neighbor. A wonderful cook, quick to put the kettle on, everyone enjoying her culinary skills. Her favorite pastime was reading poetry and Shakespeare. Special thanks to Dr. Bachar Chalati for his care throughout the years and to the wonderful staff of the Palliative Care Unit of the CEHHC for their compassion, and to the staff at Parkland Estates where Eileen spent the last few years, and also to her four special granddaughters. In keeping with Eileen’s wishes there will be no visitation. A private family service will be held graveside at the Fisher Creek Cemetery in Green Oaks. If so desired, donations can be made to the Palliative Care Unit at CEHHC Truro. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Mattatall ~ Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street Truro.
