Lorina May Beal
1917-2020
Lorina May Beal of Moncton, NB passed away at The
Moncton Hospital on Thursday, December 24, 2020 at the age of 103.
Born in Shemogue on July 8, 1917 she was the daughter of the late
Thaddy and Odile (Devarrene) Melanson.
Lorina was a member of Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman
Catholic Church in Riverview. Lorina lived a long happy life and she
showed it by always having a smile for everyone. She worked diligently
for years alongside her first husband. After his passing in 1996 she
met and married her second husband in 1997. In her later years she
filled her time by making quilts, knitting dishcloths and scarves.
Even after entering the care home she always had a knitting project on
the go. Her mind was sharp and she did not require any medication
which was quite surprising to everyone, even her doctor. She loved
playing bingo at Residence Aventure Care Home and won quite often, she
was also an avid dancer who enjoyed round and square
dancing.
Survived by 6 stepchildren, Oakley (Barbara) Beal, Enid
(Alvin) Fram, Arthur (Lynda) Beal, Gurney (Leta) Beal, Raymond (Beth)
Beal, Reginald (Linda) Beal all of Moncton surrounding area, also by
many nieces and nephews.
She was the last surviving member of her immediate
family.
In addition to her parents she was predeceased by her 1st
husband, James Brine in 1996 and her 2nd husband, Earl L. Beal in
2009; 7 sisters, Lucy, Emma, Bella, Mary, Fannie, Minnie and Dora; 5
brothers who died in infancy.
Respecting Lorina’s wishes there will not be any
visitation held, a private graveside service will be held at St.
Timothée de Shemogue Parish Cemetery on Tuesday, December
29, 2020.
The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses on 4600 of
the Moncton Hospital for their excellent care during Lorina’s short
time there.
