CLINE, Maude Dorothy, 1907-2005 Born June 9, 1907 in Nassau, Bahamas, Maude died peacefully at her home in Toronto on Good Friday, March 25, 2005 in her 98th year. Maude loved the Islands and lived in Jamaica before immigrating to Canada in 1940. Cherished wife of the late Earle P. Cline. Beloved sister of Eric Albury and his wife Thelma of Vancouver. Dearly loved aunt of Patsy and John Wynne of Richmond Hill and their four children, Kathleen, Eva, Ann and Marie and their families. "Aunt Maudie� will be sadly missed by cousin, Iva West and family, her many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and their families in Canada, the U.S. and the Bahamas. The fourth of eight children of Stanley and Minnie Albury, Maude maintained close ties with her large extended family and friends in Nassau returning every year as long as she was able. She often provided a Canadian home base for siblings, nieces and nephews in transit or in transition in their lives. In recent years and especailly in the last year, Maude has been helped by loving friends, Joyce Burrows, Ann Boreland, Joyce Herd and Judy Skelton and by caring attendants Chris Bernardo, Delita Jackson, Beatrice Williams and SPRINT workers. Maude took great pride in managing her own financial affairs until her death with the loving support of Philip Cowperthwaite and the kind help of Lyndie McPhum of the Royal Bank.
