Patricia Leah Fradsham
1939-2021
It is with great sadness that the family of Patricia (Pat)
Leah Fradsham announces her passing on Tuesday, June the 15th, at the
Doctor Everett Chalmers Hospital with her family by her side. Born in
Fredericton (Marysville) on May 28th, 1939, Pat reached the age of 82
before losing a brief battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her
parents, Arthur (Art) and Selena (Basque) McGloin, her stepmother
Germaine (Theriault) McGloin and her partner Charles (Charlie)
MacDonald.
Pat leaves behind her three sons, Derek (Diana), Sean (Tami),
Dana (Kelly); her first husband and friend, Robert (Bob) Fradsham; her
sisters, Sherry (Art) Savage of Calgary, Janine Foster, Jocelyn
(David) Downie, Kim (Ron) Hartlen, Terry (Troy) Jenkins, Zale Bethune
and brother, Brian (Wendy) McGloin. She had two grandchildren, Liam
and Erin, and two great grandchildren, Max and Lilah, whom she
adored.
Pat grew up in Marysville on Duke Street and raised her three
boys in Silverwood. She worked for the Department of Agriculture, and
later at the Faculty of Law at UNB, until she retired. Pat ran a busy
ceramics shop out the basement of her house in Silverwood where she
taught many kids in the neighbourhood arts and crafts. She loved
relaxing on her back deck, puttering in the garden, and spending time
with her many friends «up at the shore» at Everett’s
campground. Pat travelled abroad extensively, including to Ireland
where she embraced her Irish heritage. She also enjoyed her many
adventures with «The Sisters» and was known to partake in
the odd glass of sherry. Pat was the past president of the local
chapters of both Professional Secretaries International and the
Kinettes, as well as a member of the Red Hat Society.
There will be a Memorial Mass celebrating the life of Pat
Fradsham at St. Dunstan’s Church in Fredericton on Friday, June 18th,
2021 at 1PM. Due to the current social distancing restrictions please
contact McAdam’s Funeral Home at (506) 458-9170 to register if you
wish to attend. For those who wish, donations in Pat’s memory can be
made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of the donor’s
choice.
