Marie Margaret Ford
1916-2020
Marie Margaret Ford of
Riverview and formerly of Moncton, NB passed away at Monarch Hall on
Monday, September 28, 2020 at the age of 103. Born in Chatham, NB she
was a daughter of the late Wallace and Margaret (Jimmo)
Haley.
Marie worked outside the home for many years, first
as a medical librarian at the Moncton Hospital, then later on as an
accounts officer at T.E. Eaton and Company in Moncton. It is in this
latter occupation that she would regale us with stories of dealing
with the accounts of folks from Newfoundland, which was her territory.
She always said how honest and forthright they were, but still had
humorous anecdotes about dealing with some of the people who lived in
the out ports.
Marie enjoyed curling very much and was an active
member of the Moncton Business Ladies Curling league. She was also an
avid cross-country skier and delighted in this outdoor activity. She
loved playing bridge as well and did so frequently.
To say that our mother was beloved would be an
understatement. Not only was she beloved by her family, but by
everyone who ever came in contact with her over the many years of her
life. Her smile could light up a room and her disposition and positive
attitude were infectious. The first words out of anyone’s mouth when
any family member encountered friends, acquaintances, old girlfriends,
boyfriends, business associates or anyone else that had ever met her
would inevitably be, « how’s your mother ». She was cherished
by all.
Survived by her son, Paul Gaudet of Moncton; two
daughters, Peggy Gaudet (Oscar) of Moncton, Patricia Juneau Smith
Falls, ON; special niece, Patty Cosman; six grandchildren and eight
great-grandchildren; daughter-in-law, Marion Ford and her children,
Stephen (Jennifer), Sandra, Susan (Craig) their families,
nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to her parents she was predeceased by
her first husband, Rudy Gaudet; her second husband, Lloyd Ford; son,
Carl Gaudet; three sisters, Doris, Patricia and Kathleen Haley; one
brother, Karl Haley.
Marie was the last surviving member of her
immediate family.
In honor of Marie there will not be any visitation
held, a private family service will take place at a later
date.
Interment will be in Our Lady of Calvary Roman
Catholic Cemetery, Dieppe, NB.
Donations in Marie’s memory made to the
Friends of the Moncton Hospital Foundation or to the charity of the
donor’s choice would be appreciated.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Tuttle Brothers
