Halifax Herald December 01, 2005
BROWN, Rev.
Wilena G. - Passed away peacefully November 23, 2005, in hospital at
Stratford,
Ont. Born August 9, 1929, and raised in Kemptown, she attended Colchester
County
Academy and then one year at Mount Alison University. She transferred to
Victoria College in Toronto where she received her B.A., then attended
Emmanuel
Theological College and obtained her B.D. (Bachelor of Divinity). Ordained to
the ministry of the United Church of Canada in 1953, she was one of the early
women ministers in the church. She was ordained by the Maritime Conference.
She
was transferred to Alberta and settled in Consort where she stayed for four
years. It was her first experience of treeless land and roads that were
sometimes impossible to use after heavy rain or snow. She was about a 100
miles
away from a city - Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon were about equal distances.
She moved to Edmonton in 1957 as assistant at Robertson United Church, and
remained there for four years. She then went to Princeton Theological Seminary
in New Jersey where she obtained her Master of Theology degree (Th.M.) in
Pastoral Theology. Following this she returned to Toronto where she did some
work at Forest Hill United Church and in the United Church Head Office. During
these years, she also struggled with the congenital heart condition which
recurred from time to time throughout her life. In 1975, with improved health,
she moved to Bluevale-Whitechurch, Ont., where she stayed for four years. In
1979 she moved to Varna-Goshen where she stayed until 1986. Her last Pastoral
Charge was Mellbank-Hampstead, where she moved in 1986 and stayed until her
health deteriorated again in early 1991 and she retired to Stratford.
Arthritis
had become an additional problem by then and shortly she moved to Hamilton to
be
involved in testing the new drug Celebrex. In 2000, she returned to Stratford
and resided at Woodland Towers Seniors residence. In the early years of
retirement she wrote a book and ""Faithstyles in Congregations"" was published
in 1994. Wilena belonged to a large family and was predeceased by her parents,
Daniel and Rachel Brown. Four brothers and three sisters have passed on,
Albert (Stella), Andrew
(Elsie), Fred (Audrey), Donald, Margaret (Fulton) Hoare, Gertrude (Jim)
Hilder,
and Jean (Samuel) Shaw. She was a loving sister who will be sadly missed by

Charles) Scott, Riverview, N.B.; Bertha (Arthur) Langille, Barss Corner; Eva
(the late Gordon) MacRae, Victoria, B.C.; sister-in-law, Jean (Donald) Brown,

The family is scattered from coast to coast and are involved in all sorts of
interesting things. Wilena had 28 nieces, 27 nephews and many grandnieces and
grandnephews. She had followed their varied careers with interest as her
family
members followed her life with interest and support. Funeral service will be

I did not find one for Albert at all and I believe that I have all that were
published by the Herald for that time period. I notice that in the obit for
his brother Donald [last one listed], Albert is already shown as deceased and
this was in 1993.
If you should find copies for them, I would certainly appreciate receiving
copies as well.
Thanks and good luck.
