Annette Poole
1937-2019
Annette Poole died peacefully at home on Thursday, April 18,
2019 in her 81st year. Born on the Woodstock First Nation, Annette was
the daughter of Oliver and Louise (Sacobie) Polchies. While working in
Oromocto she met her loving husband, the late John Poole. They would
go on spend the next 56 years together.
Annette is survived by her children, Lizz (Bruce) Meloney,
Lynn (Kim) Poole-Hughes, Laurie (Charles) Poole, and John (Christine)
Poole; grandchildren, Lynn (Todd), Katie (Marcus), Nic (Erin), Dylan
(Ashley), Louisa, Hamilton, and Augustyne; and great-grandchildren,
Mason, Lucy and Harrison. Annette also leaves behind siblings, Howard,
Barb (Bob), Manzer (Cindy), Pepper, Sally, Dean (Tracey) and Valerie;
sister-in-law, Marge; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased
by her brothers, Theodore, Ronald and Victor; mother-in-law, Bonnie;
step-mother, Marie; sister, Anne; sister-in-law, Joan; and
brother-in-law, Gerry.
During the early part of their marriage, John was stationed
in Europe which left a lasting impression on Annette. They eventually
settled in Oromocto to raise their family. It was here that her home
and garden became her pride and joy. She loved animals and there was
always a dog or cat underfoot. When retired, Annette and John spent
many winters in Florida, summers in the Margaree and reuniting with
friends during trips to Europe.
Annette possessed an inner strength and grace that made other
people warm to her immediately. Her flare and style were admired by
many, but family was her greatest love. She will be forever
missed.
Special thanks to the Extramural Program, especially Lindsay
LaPage, RN; Woodstock First Nation Home Support Workers, Lisa, Paige,

Cremation has taken place and a Memorial Mass will be

2019 at 2 pm. Reception to follow in the church hall. Instead of
