WARDIAN, Hilal Yacoub

Early in the morning of May 1, 2020, Hilal Yacoub Wardian passed away after a brief illness. He was born in Bethlehem, Palestine. His parents, Aisha and Yacoub, had a large family. Hilal always had great memories of his early years. He left his beloved Palestine to find work in Kuwait when he was 17. He met his wife, Janice, in 1977 and immigrated to Canada in 1979. Hilal worked in the vehicle export business for almost 40 years. Settling in Springhill was a good decision for the family and Hilal made many friends, coached the local high school boys and girls soccer teams and dedicated himself to maintaining his fitness through bicycling and walking. He considered his greatest accomplishment to be his children, Aiysha and Omar. He was a proud father, reminding them of his roots but allowing them to follow their own path. We will miss you forever. This is the Holy Month of Ramadan. Hilal took comfort in that and reminded us that "this was a good time to die." As was his wish there will be no service. Thank you to the VON and Palliative Care Team for all you did to allow Hilal to remain at home. Donations can be made to the Springhill Salvation Army and Cumberland County Hospice Palliative Care Society. Arrangements have been entrusted to A. H. Brown Funeral Home, Springhill, (902-597-2361), through whom memories and condolences may be sent to the family by visiting Hilal’s online memorial at: www.brownsfuneralhome.com or through the A.H. Brown Funeral Home Facebook Page.
