Kit Newhouse
1947-2018
With much sadness, the family of Kathryn
« Kit » Newhouse, announces her passing which occurred
peacefully on Saturday, January 6, 2018 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital. Born in Montreal, QC, on March 24, 1947, Kit was an orphan
who was lovingly adopted by the late Dr. Donald and Phyllis (McVie)
Henry who gave her a wonderful youth, growing up in the T.M.R. and in
the Laurentians at her beloved Sunny Point on Bark Lake. Kit came to
New Brunswick in 1964 to attend university, where she met, married and
spent the next 52 years with her husband Jeb.
Kit is survived by Jeb and her children: Jody Newhouse
(Robert Sidler) of St. Andrews, NB, Kim Newhouse (Frank Cruz) of
Toronto, ON, and Adam Newhouse (Felice Kamminga) of Rothesay, NB;
siblings: Peter Henry, Martha Henry and Paul Henry; grandchildren:
Alexander Lively and Sebastian Cruz; and her beloved spaniels, Mac and
Sam.
Kit unselfishly devoted her entire life to her family and her
friends. She was a shrewd judge of character, setting the bar high and
always seeing the best in people. Special places and cherished friends
were her delights and included: Bark Lake, Shediac, London, Belleisle
Bay, Yorkshire, Fox Harb’r and Freeport. Kit was an avid
reader who also loved to swim, dance, ski and cook. Throughout her
life, Kit always placed a special importance on the education and
development of young people and the years when Adam was at RNS were a
wonderful period in her life. Kit was unfailingly stoic, never
complaining, and even in her most trying moments would say « lots
of people are worse off than me ».
Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral
Home (506-832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB, where visitation
will be held on Wednesday, January 10, 2018 from 4 to 8PM. The
memorial service will be held on Friday, January 12, 2018 at 11:00AM
from St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Hampton, NB.
The family would like to express a sincere thank you to the
staff of the Saint John Regional Hospital for all their care given to
Kit and her family. Your kindness and compassion will not be
forgotten.
Donations in memory of Kit may be made to the Saint John
Regional Hospital Foundation or to the memorial of the
