Surrounded by her family, the death of Valerie Joyce Martin,
wife of Ron Martin occurred at the Saint John Regional Hospital after
a long battle against cancer.
Born in Digby, NS on May 22, 1949, she was a daughter of

hockey mom and enjoyed collecting crystal dishes. She was a member of
the Red Hatters Society, as well as a big Seadog and Blue Jays
fan.
