Rosella Thelma Pearl (Kennie) Collier
1926-2018
It is with heavy hearts that we express the passing of
Rosella Thelma Pearl (Kennie) Collier, 91, of Kenneth E. Spencer
Memorial Home, Moncton and formerly of Alma. She passed away
peacefully on January 16, 2018 at the home with her family by her
side.
She was born in Little Ridge, Albert County on August 7th,
1926 the daughter of the late Harden and Inez (McManus)
Kennie. She worked at Crosbys Molasses Company in Saint
John; Kelly’s Bake Shop in Alma; The Clubhouse Restaurant and swimming
pool canteen in Fundy National Park; Maples Canteen in
Riverside-Albert and Fundy Take out in Alma where she became manager
until her retirement. Being a great cook, she loved to bake
bread and rolls, donuts; plus make pickles, jams and
jellies. She was also a wonderful quilter and took great
pride in every stitch. She enjoyed travelling and got to see
Newfoundland and Niagara Falls with her family. She also
took a bus tour to Nashville with her granddaughter, Charlene and
daughter, Carol in 1989. Not having an easy life, she never
complained, making sure she went to church and always believing in
God. Her faith got her through life’s ups and downs. Today
she dances with the angels.

with him and all of her family members that have gone before
her. Besides her parents she was also predeceased by her
husband and best friend, Henry Collier in 1970. She was the
