Angela Catherina McCarthy
1923-2019
It is with great sadness the family announces the peaceful
passing of Angela Catherina (Conlogue) McCarthy of Johnston Road,
Saint John, at 95 years of age, which occurred Wednesday, January 9,
2019, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. She was the wife of the
late Gerald Francis McCarthy. Born in Saint John on February 17, 1923,
she was a daughter of the late Daniel and Ethel (Murphy)
Conlogue.
She will be greatly missed by her three sons, Daniel (Jane)
of Toronto, Frank of Saint John and Peter of Fredericton, her three
daughters, Mary Angela McCluskey (John) of Saint John, Norah (Andrew)
of Toronto, and Joan Kyle (Shane) of East Chezzetcook, N.S. Also
surviving are nine grandchildren, Erin McCarthy Desjardins, Emily
McCarthy, daughter of Frank McCarthy and Krista Uomala, Melissa
(McCluskey) Green, Matthew and Louis McCluskey, Scott and Ryan Kyle,
Liam and Aidan McCarthy, sons of Daniel McCarthy and Colleen
Moorehead, and three great grandchildren, Madison and Emma Green and
Mackenzie Desjardins. Besides her husband and parents, she was
predeceased by one brother, Louis and five sisters, Bernardine, Jean,
Clare, Helen and Madeline.
Mom was a graduate of St Vincent’s High School and
the Provincial Normal School. After completing her education, she
spent a year teaching grades 1 to 6 in a one room schoolhouse in
Penobsquis, N.B. Following this, she returned to Saint John where she
joined Scotiabank on Main St in the North End of Saint John. She took
a break from her career and spent many happy years raising her
children with Gerry on Clarendon Street and Johnston Road. She retired
from Scotiabank in 1985.
Angie’s quiet strength, love, wit and wonderful
sense of humor provided much support, encouragement and enjoyment for
her children and grandchildren over the years. Mom was the nucleus of
our family, she was always fun to be around and enjoyed by her
extended family, friends and work colleagues throughout her life. Mom
especially enjoyed baking for her family and knitting beautiful
afghans. She spent her retirement years with her children and their
families and had many wonderful trips throughout Canada, the United
States, the British Virgin Islands and Europe.
A Funeral Liturgy will be held Saturday, January 12, 3:00 PM
in the Brenan’s Funeral Home Chapel, 111 Paradise
Row, Saint John. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Saint
John area SPCA or the Palliative Care Unit of the Saint John Regional
