Ignatius « Iggy » Gardiner
1927-2021
Ignatius « Iggy » Emmerson Gardiner, age 94, passed
away peacefully on Saturday, December 18, 2021, at the Oromocto Public
Hospital.
Born in Gardiner Mines, N.S., he was the son of the late
Ronald and Josephine (Strang) Gardiner. Iggy left Gardiner Mines where
he worked as a miner for 12 years to join the military and make
Oromocto his home. He served with the Canadian Armed Forces from 1956
to 1981.
Iggy is survived by Maxine Gullison (long-time Partner);
three sons, Leslie (Pat) Gardiner, Iggy (Lina) Gardiner and Blair
(Sandra) Gardiner; grandchildren, Laural, Tracy (Roger), Scott
(Kristy), Iggy (Annie), Jordana (Dane), Amanda (Kirk) and Chris
(Laura); great grandchildren, Ryan, Hanna, Tristan, André,
Scarlett, Emile, Gus, Violet, and Hazel. Granddad loved his family and
he always had time for each and every one. He was predeceased by his
parents and his wife of 57 years, Marion (Grace) Gardiner; brothers
Frank, Andrew and John and his sister Mary.
Iggy was a member of the Fredericton Royal Canadian Legion
where he and Maxine loved playing shuffle board in tournaments. Their
freezer was often full of goodies won at competitions.
Iggy was a wonderful man, grandfather and great-grandfather.
He made a significant mark in the lives of those who knew him and
loved him. He will be dearly missed by his family and
friends.
A private family service will be held at a later
date.
The family suggests that memorial contributions be made to
the N.B. Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Special thanks to Dr. Snell, the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital staff, Dr. Keddy and the nurses and staff of the Oromocto
Public Hospital Med 1 for the exceptional care and compassion he
received.
