Irene Geldart
1931-2021
Irene left her home for the first time at
age 16. She moved to her heavenly home on September 16, 2021,
surrounded by her loving family.
Irene was the firstborn of Arthur and Ida
MacWilliam of Salisbury, N.B. She graduated from Salisbury Regional
School. Being too young to immediately go to Nursing School, she first
attended a Home Economics program in Sus. Her nursing
career began at the Annex on Collishaw St, Moncton and finished at the
Jordan Lifecare Centre in The Glades.
She married the love of her life, Fred Roy
Geldart, on September 26, 1953. They made many happy memories raising
their family, camping and travelling. She liked to knit and
crochet. She loved watching her afternoon « stories », singing
in the choir, listening to music, Gaither Friday nights, and Joyce
Meyer in the morning.
She was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Ida
MacWilliam, her infant daughter Edith Mae, her husband Fred and her
brother David MacWilliam.
She was a member of the Salisbury Baptist Church, the Red
Hatters Society, and the Salisbury Seniors Club.
She will be sadly missed by her four children and
their families: Kathy Murray (Brian) of Salisbury, Roy Geldart (Janet)
of Riverview, Tim Geldart (Deb) of Salisbury, and Neil Rodney Geldart
(Wendee) of Kentville N.S.; her brother John MacWilliam of Ottawa,
Ont., sister Deborah Lewis (Gerard), and sister-in-law Gloria
MacWilliam; her grandchildren Josh (Julie), Miranda (Curtis), Dawn
(Alex), Kimber, Nick, Emily (Mick), Jessica (William), Martha (James),
Jason, Benjamen, Keith; her great-grandchildren Skyler, Cooper,
Winnie, Theo, Jackie, Malcolm, Finn, Fiadh, Sierra, Nyah, Hazen and
Lincoln. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, her
very special neighbours, friends, and her church
family.
The family would like to thank all Health Care
Professionals, and First Responders who were instrumental in her final
years, both at home and in hospital.
