Alice Wheaton
1928-2020
April 18th, 2020 we lost an amazing woman – Alice
Mae (Jones) Wheaton. Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Aunt.
She was ready but our hearts were not. Our selfishness wanted to keep
her forever. She lived 91 great years and left us quickly and
peacefully. Just a month ago, she was attending Church, Legion
Dinners, Chase the Ace, Family-Get-Togethers, and drives to get her
Tim’s coffee, DQ chocolate shake and her A&W onion rings. As
in previous winters, she even got to watch Cameron play hockey this
past winter.
She loved her puzzles (loved it even more when
someone came into her room to help her with the puzzle). She loved to
play cards and has been accused of swinging the score her way on more
than one occasion as she was always the score keeper.
But most of all, she loved her Family and always
« had our back ». She was our Family’s biggest
supporter.
Mum never complained and never said « I told
you so » even though she had many occasions to do so while her
Family was growing up. She never judged anyone and all were equal in
her eyes.
Ninety-one years has allowed us so many good
memories! She will be forever in our hearts. That amazing smile she
was so quick to share with everyone, will be greatly
missed.
Born in Steeves Mountain, she was the daughter of
the late Guy and Bridget (Sullivan) Jones. Alice was a longtime
resident of Wheaton Settlement and was retired for many years from
NBTel after 33 years of service. She was a member of the
Wheaton Settlement Baptist Church, the Wheaton Settlement WMS, the
Frank H. Tingley #6 OES Lodge and Royal Canadian Legion
Auxillary.
She is survived and sadly missed by her daughters
Brenda Armstrong (late Wayne), Petitcodiac and Sandra Wheaton-Cox
(Victor), Intervale; son-in-law Ivan MacCallum, Alberta; sister-in-law
Blanche Jones, Hampton; grandchildren Pamela Eleniak (Michael), Peter
MacCallum, Dani Wheaton (Carol), Becki Carter, Shanda Hopper (Bruce),
David Cox (Shannon) and Jason Cox (Marie); great grandchildren Alicen
Eleniak, Sheldon Eleniak, Blake Wheaton, Cameron Wheaton, Ryanne
Hopper, Hayden Cox, Paige Cox, Breagha Cox and Samantha McCallum and
several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her husband Chester (2007);
daughter Barbara MacCallum (2007); sisters Catherine, Lena and Gladys;
brothers Everett and Robert. Alice was the last surviving member of
her immediate family.
Due to restrictions, a private family graveside
service will take place at Wheaton Settlement Cemetery at a later
date.
If desired, donations to a local food bank or a
charity of choice would be appreciated by the family. Arrangments are
in the care of the Salisbury Funeral Home (372-4800).
