Obituary of Lillian Claressa Hart

Please share a memory of Lillian to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Hart, Lillian Claressa, 97, Boylston, Guysborough County, passed away on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024, at Guysborough Memorial Hospital.

 

The daughter of the late Viola Spanks and Arthur Baker of Guysborough, Lillian enjoyed weekly bingo nights with her beloved husband, watching a Blue Jays game, collecting antiques, and spending time with her adored family and friends. For 30 years, Lillian was the proud owner of Charlie the parrot, who greeted guests with a welcoming chirp. Her lifetime of kindness, generosity, and laughter began on Cape Breton Island. Lillian is survived by her baby brother, William (Bill) Baker, who resides in New Waterford, Cape Breton Island.

 

Lillian is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 75 years, Howard, with whom she grew and nurtured a beautiful family. Lillian felt blessed to have a daughter, Lois MacDonald (Kelly), Mulgrave, and two sons, Thomas Baker (Bonnie), Lower South River, and Daniel Hart (Kerstin), Boylston. Lillian will be missed dearly by her grandchildren, Viola (Sandy), Karen, Kevin (Cait), Angela (Chad), Tanya (Joey), Andrew (Cassandra), Chris (Sapphire), Jamie (Deidre), Lisa, and great-grandchildren, Dawson, Riley, Alyssa, Isabel, Morgan, Malachi, Valerie, Charlie, Hudson, Scarlet, Jane, Dani, Barrett, Hazel, Kelly.

 

She is predeceased by her three brothers, Bernie, Ernest, Frederick, one sister, Muriel, and an infant great-grandson, Asher, at birth. Lillian will be remembered and missed by generations of the Hart, Baker, and Spanks families. Lillian was well-known to have plenty of treats and cold Pepsi at the house, always welcoming you in with the roaring wood stove, a story, and a warm smile. 

 

There will be no visitation or funeral mass, as requested by Lillian. Burial in the Boylston United Church Cemetery at a later date. Donations in memory to Guysborough Memorial Hospital Foundation.

 

The family would like to send sincere thanks to the exceptional healthcare providers who cared for her with utmost compassion throughout the last two weeks of her life including paramedics, nurses, doctors, the many healthcare support staff, and all others who make Guysborough Memorial Hospital a special place during trying times. Special thanks to neighbor and dear friend Sydney Evans, who held a special place in Lillian’s heart.

 

Funeral arrangements are under the direction and care of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Guysborough.
