Mrs. Alice L. "Honey" Kyte

Born on January 26, 1916 in Steam Mill, Kings County, she was the daughter of the late Amos and Laura Veinot. Grammie was a wonderful homemaker and assisted many families in the Kentville area. Grammie is most remembered for teaching Sunday School at the Kentville Baptist Church and was always recognized by former students whenever she was out in the community. Grammie can also be fondly remembered working in Honey’s Bakery and telling Grampy, “Ben, go change your apron”. She may have been tiny but she had a huge heart and was loved by many in return. Grammie lived most of her life in Kentville until she moved to Coldbrook to help her daughter, Sylvia. When Sylvia passed away, she moved to Port Williams to live with her granddaughter, Shannon and her family, who have been blessed to spend her final days with her.
