Nora May Elizabeth Locke
1928-2018
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nora
Locke. She suffered a stroke in August of 2017 and bravely fought the
battle to recover so « she could spend more time with her
family. » This time was a blessing but all too brief for all
who loved her. She passed away peacefully at the age of ninety on
October 24, 2018 at the Grand Manan Nursing Home. With kindness and
grace she devoted her life to the love and care of her family. Born
July 12, 1928 in Red Rock, York County, NB, she was the daughter of
the late Lloyd and Pauline (Gullison) Harvey. She lived primarily in
the Fredericton area until her move to Grand Manan Island, NB in
1967.
Nora a beloved wife and supportive partner, was predeceased
by her husbands John Allan Ashfield (1919-1966) and Brenton Sterling
Locke (1921- 2013). She was also predeceased by her son John Keith
Ashfield (1952-2018), her grandchild Joel (1973-1973) and her sister
Glenna (1927-1995).
She was a loving mother of four children: Allan Ashfield
(Dianne) of Grand Manan, NB, Keith Ashfield (Judy) of Lincoln NB,
Marion Fletcher (Bruce) of Island Lake AB and Dianne McLaughlin of
Grand Manan NB.
A proud grandmother of seven; Joel, Tara and Seth Ashfield,
Deborah Dakin, Ashley McLaughlin, Jamie and Scott Fletcher. And
equally proud great-grandmother of Alexa, Megan and Isaiah
Dakin.
She will be lovingly and forever remembered by her surviving
siblings Larry, Lyman and Elaine, her extended family and her
friends.
Nora requested cremation and that there be no formal service.
The family asks that you remember her in your hearts and prayers.
Remember her quiet strength, her strong will, her genuine kindness and
her faith in God which will carry her to heaven. Interment of her
ashes will be held at a later date at the Sterling United Church
Cemetery, Tay Creek, NB.
Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke
