Angela Katherine Halse, born 12th April 1955, died 28th July 2015 at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. It is with a mixture of great sadness and great thanksgiving that we announce that Angela Halse died peacefully and in the company of dear friends on July 28th. She had been suffering from a progressive illness that took from her the ability to walk, to speak and to swallow. Angela was born in the seaside town of Sidmouth, England, to Alex and Eileen Halse, and was their youngest child and only daughter. The family emigrated to Ottawa when Angela was just a year old and Angela grew up in Canada with her three older brothers. She was just 10 years old when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour shortly after the family moved to Nova Scotia. Although healed she had further struggles with cancer in adult life. Angela graduated from Acadia University and her teaching career took her to Northern Manitoba, southern Chile and New Brunswick. She also studied at Trinity College in Bristol, England and at the Ontario Theological Seminary in Toronto where she earned a Masters degree in Mission. Angela is survived by her mother, Eileen, and brothers, Godfrey and William. They want to express their gratitude to Post Inn Village staff and residents for the love, care and respect given to Angela throughout her illness. They also want to thank dear and faithful Christian friends who have been such a good family to Angela and who have faithfully prayed for her, visited her and helped her throughout these difficult years. A Thanksgiving service will be held for Angela at Chartwell Baptist Church, 228 Chartwell Road, Oakville on Thursday, 6th August at 11 am and will be followed by refreshments. There will also be a service at Post Inn Village chapel at 2:30 pm. A memorial service at Trinity Church in Halifax is being arranged for Tuesday, 11th August at 11 am, and will be followed by the burial of her ashes in the family plot at St. Peter's, Hacketts Cove, Nova Scotia. The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, gifts in Angela's memory be given to Kerr Street Ministries.
