[NI0005] Lenore Margaret Scullion was born on the 26th October, 1927. The first daughter and second child of Jack Scullion and Daisy Sarah Sullivan; Lenore 's brother John was 18 months old when she was born, and her sister Fran w as born in 1934, when Lenore was 7 years old. As a child Lenore love dancing, especially tap dancing, and performing in many concerts, produced by her Aunt, Eleanor Sullivan. Aunt taught her to recite poetry, and Mum would recite for us, we were amazed at how much she could remember. She also had a talent for writing poems, and would write amusing ones for special occasions. On leaving school, aged 16, Lenore began a hairdressing apprenticeship at Myers, where she met many lifelong friends. Not long after this, sadly Lenore's mother, Daisy, died suddenly; she felt her loss very deeply. John had left home and Fran was nearly a teenage r. Lenore had to take on a much bigger role in the family home; looking after her father and bringing up her sister, Fran. As a teenager Lenore was an excellent ice skater, joining the Ice Follies. She gave up this hobby for her true love; Kevin used to sit freezing on the sidelines, watching her practice, and she could never entice him onto the ice. As children, Mum taught us all to skate, at the St Moritz ice rink. I remember how excited I was when my feet grew to size 7, and it was my turn to wear Mum's old white skates, they were very special. One day, Lenore's brother, John who had entered the Jesuit Order, wrote to his sister, asking her to invite his old school friend Kevin Tim ms to Dinner, as he had just returned from overseas. Lenore did her sisterly duty and wrote to this unknown Kevin Timms inviting him for dinner on Sunday, 3rd September, 1945. Lenore and her friend Hannah had been horse riding during the day; arriving home to see two Air Force caps on the mantel piece, and two handsome officers in the kitchen. Dinner went well and at the end of the evening, Kevin asked Lenore if he might ring her, s he agreed. The week went by and Kevin had not rung. Lenore was not concerned, saying there were plenty more fish in the sea. Ten days later, Kevin rang to ask Lenore out; Kevin apologized for not ringing earlier and told her that his father had died suddenly. Mum thought this was a pretty good reason for not ringing, so agreed to go out with him. They have been together ever since, celebrating 55 years of marriage this year. Their first outing together was the Caulfield Cup, and this years Caulfield Cup was their last outing together. Lenore and Kevin married on the 21st June, 1949, at St. Michael's Church, North Melbourne. Dad always joked that he picked this date because it was the shortest d ay of the year, but the longest night. They settled in North Melbourne, in a two story terrace next to the church. During this time John, David, Angie, Peter and Libby were born, and it was time to move to a bigger house. In 1956, they built a new cream brick home in College Pde., Kew. Land in the area was not very expensive, as it was "all that way over the river". So Mum and Dad bought a double block of land, and we had a huge backyard to play in. Just as well, as Brian and Maggie were born in the next few years. As well as producing and caring for all her children, Mum was busy with community based projects. Mum's neighbour Norma remembers babysitting the latest arrival, Peter at 10 days of age, because Mum had to attend a fundraising Ball, M um had organized it, and felt she couldn't abandon the troops. Norma marvelled at how glamorous Lenore was that evening. We all remember Mum running Tuck Shops, school fundraisers, and especially the Art Show for Xavier College. When Mum had some spare time, she ran her two hairdressing salons. In the 1960's the family moved again, to Burke Rd. Kew, where we stayed until Lenore & Kevin were almost empty nesters. We all remember that day, it was very hot, and Joan & John Eden took all seven of us for the day. We spent the day in their swimming pool, followed with a BBQ dinner, and then we were taken to our new house. Mum had unpacked just about every thing; our beds were all made up, ready for us, it was already home. Looking back, we all marvel at Mum's organizational skills. Family dinners were noisy and full of discussions and it was often ha rd to get a word in. It was very important to Mum that we all sat down together for the family meal every evening. Mum was a wonderful cook, and there was always an extra place at the dinner table for our friends. Dad said he never ate vegetables, until he married Mum, he didn't know veggies could taste so good! There was never any fuss in our kitchen; dinner for 9 was produced every evening, with fabulous deserts to follow. Mum could carve the roast, plate meals, and serve dinner on hot plates, while sipping a Gin & Tonic, and talking to Dad about his day. There were fresh cakes, just out of the oven when we arrived home from school, always a double batch, so the school lunchboxes were full the next day. Mum was a real whiz at baking, she rarely used a measuring cup, just doing it all by eye. I watched Mum make her fabulous scones many times, but I could never do it like Mum. Sunday night was "Priest Night", and Mum's brother, Father John Scullion, would bring his friends for dinner. Dinners were casual and there we re many serious discussions concerning the world's events, cricket, horse racing and football. The house at Burke Rd. had a tennis court, and soon a swimming pool. We all played tennis, and the court was a wonderful cricket pitch, and football venue. Our home was always full of extra kids over summer. Years later the court was covered with a marquee for 21st birthdays, which of course Mum catered for. Mum and Dad played lots of tennis, and had a regular Sunday group. Mass in the morning, followed buy a big Sunday brunch, and then friends would arrive for tennis; and in the summer months, followed by a BBQ dinner. Cold wet winter Sundays, were spent watching football, with a batch of hot scones ready for half time. Mum's "Tennis Girls" were a very special part of her life; a group of girl friends, who gathered on a Tuesday morning for over 40 years. They were very fit girls, and only recently has tennis given way to morning coffee. Nothing would interfere with the Tennis Girls, and commitments were arranged around this special gathering. Another highlight was Monday Night Cards, a group of girlfriends who gathered to play Solo. They were very serious about their card games. Mum enjoyed these nights immensely; another tradition that has been followed f or 40 years. With 7 children, it was always a two car expedition for family outings. T here were many picnics, rowing events, rugby matches and gymkhanas. Each time the car was packed with lots of goodies, and I remember Mum teaching t he boys to make the Billy Tea. In the early 1970's, Mum and Dad built a beach house at Mt. Martha, and we could all go away together for summer holidays. The house was always full; we all have wonderful memories of those days. We remember the Scrabble marathons at Mt. Martha, Mum was very good, and it was a real challenge to try and beat her. Somewhere along the way, Mum was christened "Maude", by David, an affectionate nick name, and we would love to come in the door calling "Are your there Maude?" It was not a name Mum liked, but she laughed, as she had a great sense of humour, and knew it was a term of endearment. We never heard our parents argue, and Mum always taught us; don't go to be d, angry with your spouse, and cross words can never be taken back. Mum and Dad made an amazing team, always together, enjoying just being together . The mid 1970's saw many changes in the family, with 3 weddings in 3 year s. We laughed about which colour dress Mum could wear for the next wedding; She was running out of favourites. Mum was looking forward to becoming a grandmother. She dropped plenty of hints and even implied a cash reward. Imagine her delight when at a family dinner, John and Joan announced they were expecting in late March, 1978. There was great excitement and congratulations. Angie asked Joan the date, and then announced that she was expecting a baby the week before! Mum was catching up in the grandmother stakes at a rapid pace. Kelly decided to arrive early, and 2 weeks later Emily was born. By the December of t he same year, our Tom was born. Mum had definitely come first in the Nanna Stakes, and her brag book had begun. These were very special years for Mum, and she enjoyed every minute. The 80's arrived, bringing 4 more weddings in 2 years, with Peter and Maggie, both marrying in November, 1980. Maggie wanted her wedding at home, with Mum saying as long as you wait until after Cup Day. Mum organised an amazing reception at home, and it was a beautiful day; and Mum didn't miss the spring racing carnival. Mum rejoiced in her growing family, her son and daughter in laws were a bonus, and she loved them all. More grandchildren arrived, until Mum could boast to 23 in total. The saddest time was when Peter and Louise lost baby Julian, but Mum was the re to support and help them through this sad time. A great highlight for Mum was the trip overseas with Dad. They were away f or a couple of months, and had a wonderful time, Mum wrote great letters home, giving us all the details. We know that, for the first time since their marriage, this special time alone was a long awaited adventure. Mum had sold her hairdressing salons, but even with all her activities, s he admitted she was a bit bored. So began another career at "Dickory Dock ". Mum made special friends there and really loved the work. When she applied for the job, she noted that she couldn't work on Tennis D ay, nor Saturdays, as that was Race Day. By this time all of us children were married and busy with our own families, and Mum and Dad were free to enjoy many interests. Racing was always an important part of their lives, and in later years they enjoyed taking their granddaughters to the races. Early morning fitness walks, golf twice a week, tennis, cards, Probus meetings, family dinners and dinner parties. Mum could always keep track of everyone's activities, and was there to watch her grandchildren play sport, ride in equestrian events, perform in dancing concerts, school productions, and attend Grandparent days at school. Her diary was always by the phone, to pencil in the next important even t. Birthdays were always remembered. Mum was always there for all of us, giving love and support through all t he ups and downs in our lives. Mum was the glue that kept us all together, and when life got tough, she was there to help us through. Each of us has endless, wonderful and funny Mum and Nanna stories to tell, which we hope to share with you later in the day. The last few months have been a very difficult time. We knew Mum was sic k, but she never complained, and played down the seriousness of her condition. She still went to the races, and did all the things she enjoyed. Her grandchildren were very proud of their very glamorous Nana, who always told her girls, the secret to her beautiful skin, was to always keep your face out of the sun. Even in her final days, her hair was done, her makeup and lippy on, and her beautifully manicured nails were painted in her favourite pink colour. Mum's illness progressed very rapidly, and the last few weeks have been very tough. Two weeks ago we gathered for Mum's birthday, it was very sad, as we knew it would be her last. David came down from Queensland, and John and Joan came from Perth. She had all her family around her, just as we knew she wanted it. Our Dad has shown amazing courage, supporting Mum with all his love and devotion, nursing her with the utmost care, gentleness and kindness. John and Joan have stayed with Mum and Dad during this time, and with their daughter Kelly have provided amazing support, so Mum could stay home, where she wanted to be. There aren't enough words to express our thanks to Dad, John, Joan and Kelly, for all they did for Mum during these last weeks. Your compassion, thoughtfulness and consideration, has given us all strength. Mum's eldest grandson, Tom is in London. He has sent a special message: - As a grandchild she always made me feel loved and special. She never for got a birthday or an occasion. I can not remember the gifts I received f or my childhood birthdays, but can remember them by the unbelievable cakes she created for me, my sisters and cousins. Trains, helicopters, and castles, nothing was impossible in her kitchen. Even with the simplest chocolate cake, hers were beyond compare, just like her Christmas lunches or family dinners. Tennis, golf, the races she was a whirlwind of activity. Although I guess maintaining all these hobbies was a breeze after raising seven children and playing Nana to twenty-three grandchildren. I have always known how much, my aunts, uncles and cousins loved and respected Nana. Unfortunately not until recently, did it become clear to me how this extended beyond the family, with the flowers, cards and well-wishes from far and wide. Nana, as you watch over us rest assured, With your legacy - the dynasty you created - Your memory will never be forgotten, For you have touched us all, your spirit is everlasting. Fly now angel, free from the pain, One day soon, you will greet us again. There is solace in this f or all of us here, Knowing this fact when our time comes near Libby Timms Tobin 11 November 2004
