Patricia Ann Melanson
1919-2018
Patricia Ann Melanson, wife of the late Walter J. Melanson,
passed away peacefully at the age of 98 on January 7, 2018 at the
Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Saint John on September 25,
1919, she was a daughter of the late Frederick and Annie (McKillop)
Sweeney and she was also the last surviving member of her immediate
family.
Patricia was a lifetime member of the CWL at the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception. She looked forward to summers at her
sister’s camp in Loch Lomond, family reunions in Chance
Harbour, and in her earlier years, travelling to Alabama with her
sister Dena and visiting her sister, Louise on Golf Club Road in
Fredericton. Above all, Patricia took great pleasure in the time she
spent with her grandchildren, nieces and nephews and Dixie the
dog.
Patricia is survived by her loving children: Edward Walter
Melanson (Muriel), Arthur (Lorraine), Ann Marie Melanson, Nancy
O’Leary (Clifford), and Eric Melanson; grandchildren:
Christopher Melanson, Kimberley O’Leary-Evans (Neill), Scott
(Jennifer) O’Leary, Natalie O’Leary, Angela
(Bryan) Soucy, Michael (Betty-Joe) Hanson, Jamie (Cathy Hurd)
Melanson, and Stacey (Todd) Phillips; great-grandchildren: Zachery and
Mitchell Evans, Emma and Ryan MacDonald-O’Leary, Haley,
Brady, and Alicia Soucy, Chelsea (Ellis) Murray, Urijah and
Olivia Phillips; sister-in-law, Lorraine Hachey (Roger); and
brother-in-law, Laurie Melanson (Marilyn), also including many nieces,
nephews and members of her extended family. Besides her parents, she
was predeceased by her sisters: Louise Creighton, Frances Thompson,
Dena Garnett, and Ollie Harrison; and her brother, James
Sweeney.
Arrangements are under the care of
