MICHELINE HINCE December 6, 1956 - February 8, 2006 On Wednesday, February 8, 2006, heaven welcomed a new angel. Micheline Hince surrendered her long and hard fought battle with cancer surrounded by family and friends. She leaves behind to cherish her memory the light of her life, her son John-Michel Hince and his friend Christine Courcelles. Micheline will be forever in the hearts of her parents, Jeanne and Louis Hince; and siblings, Eveline Cross (Douglas), Marcel Hince (Jeannette), Paul Hince (Jeannette), Louise Mercer (Paul), Suzanne Moss (Barry), Norman Hince (Paulette), Jacqueline Bohemier, Simone Hince, Georgette Litke (Lloyd), Real Hince (Sandra), Celine Fournier (Michel), Therese Hince Siwicki (John), Nicole Tymko (Dan). Micheline also had numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, friends and cousins who will miss her dearly. Micheline enjoyed dancing and gardening but most of all she loved helping others. For several years she volunteered her services to the Miriam Centre. Helping her many friends and family was her passion. She was always the first at gatherings to help get things ready and true to form, she rose and will greet us all when our journeys are over. Micheline was an inspiration to all who knew her. She was wise beyond her years and patient beyond comprehension. She never saw her illness as a roadblock but as a challenge to overcome. Our selfish regret is that she is no longer on this earth but our joyful reward is that she has found her place in heaven. Until we meet again Micheline...
