Edith R. Buxton
1940-2021
It is with heavy hearts we announce that Edith Rosemary Buxton of
Divide, NB, loving wife and mother, passed away peacefully with family
by her side, on Saturday, February 20th, at the Upper River Valley
Hospital in Waterville, NB. She was 80 years old.
Mom was born October 10, 1940, in Centre Burlington, NS and is the
daughter of the late Charles and Nellie (Greene) Fox. She is survived
by her younger brother Malcolm (Linda) Fox, NS and her younger sister
Anne (David) Eye, NS.
Mom moved to NB in her late teens to attend Centreville High School.
It is there that she met the love of her life.
Mom is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Bill. As well as
her children Paul (Debby), Lori (Jeffrey), Jan (Leigh), John, and
James; grandchildren, Ashley, Stuart, Emily, Hayden, Ryan, Kaylee,
Melissa and Nick; as well as several great grandchildren, nieces,
nephews and cousins.
Mom loved her family and dedicated her life to us as a wonderful wife
and stay-at-home mom. She was known for her caring, warm welcoming
personality. She always had a cup of coffee in her hand or nearby and
loved to share her delicious baking with others. Mom was a wonderful
seamstress and sewed for many people. She could mend, fix or design
clothing with ease, and many knew her as “Pins &
Needles.” She also loved to knit, cross stitch, and quilt, and
always had a project on the go. When she needed a “break from
the sewing room” you could usually find her with a book, as she
was an avid reader, or in her beautiful flower beds, because much like
her mother, she loved to garden. Through their years together, Mom
and Dee, socialized with many friends, snowmobiling, four wheeling,
canoeing and fishing, motorbiking and dancing.
When Mom moved from Riverbank to “the camp” in Divide, in
the 1980’s, she became actively involved in the local church, a
Friendship Club, and sold Avon in the area. Mom was also a member of
the Red Hat Society.
Mom was a wonderful woman, and she will be missed by all who knew her,
and especially those who loved her.
Due to Covid-19 there will no visitation or celebration of life at
this time. Mom will be laid to rest at the Argyle Cemetery, in
Divide, at a later date.
Mom loved animals and always had pets. Most recently she loved and
cared for Buddy and Sissy her cats that she rescued 14 years ago. For
those who wish, we would appreciate memorial donations to DunRoamin
Stray and Rescue or a charity of your choice.
We would like to thank the paramedics with Ambulance New Brunswick as
well as the Doctors, nurses, and staff at the Upper River Valley
Hospital for their wonderful care of Mom during her stay in the
Intensive Care Unit. L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors are entrusted
with the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca (506)
