«When someone you love
becomes a memory, the memory becomes a
treasure.»
The family of Mary Ellen
MacLeod (January 10, 1959) are saddened to announce her sudden passing
at Hospice House on Friday, August 25, 2023, with her family at her
side.
Greatly adored by Grant, her
loving husband of 35 years, sons Ryan (Caitlin Doyle) and
Justin. Also left to remember are Mother Joycelyn
McMinniman, Brother Frank McMinniman (Monique) and Sister Carrie Anne
(Chip Illsley). Over the past 27 years Mary was also often a
mother, seamstress, cook, babysitter, and bottle washer to five very
special nephews, Logan Bradley (Heather), Wyatt Sewell, Alex
McMinniman (Jennica Jean), Wilem Sewell and Marc McMinniman (Olivia
Spahn-Vieira) as well as her loving four-legged companion Parker,
Sisters-in-law Ann MacLeod and Julie Tuton, and many cherished
cousins. Mary Ellen was predeceased by her father, Elwood
McMinniman and we took great comfort knowing he was there to give a
fatherly hug and the welcome tour.
Mary Ellen began her working
career at Laughlin’s Pharmacy and then on to Harvey
Studios. Prior to her retirement Mary spent over 30 years
working for the Province of New Brunswick with the bulk of that time
in the Sherrif’s Office where she was affectionately
christened «Sammy» (as in Sam McLeod – some may
have to Google that).
Mary Ellen’s
interests were varied and interesting. From weeding the
weeds that never leave at Lake George, Cross Stich (shows her level of
patience), reading or simply sitting on her deck looking out at the
wonders of the lake and craning a neck to see who was driving
by. Mary was definitely a sun-seeker and enjoyed her annual
March beach get-away to soak in the rays (Vino Blanco Por
Favor). Mary would say otherwise, but she was a ferocious
and formidable opponent at Heart’s and
45’s. Mary also made the best homemade pizza ever
and had she decided to pursue it as a career, many pizza joints would
have had to concede and close their doors.
Mary Ellen was adamant there
would be no visitation or funeral. The family will have a
private graveside ceremony to say farewell, but all are welcome to
join the family for remembrance at the Fredericton Golf Club Inc.331
Golf Club Road Fredericton Saturday, September 9 from 1– 3PM
(no tears allowed – orders from Sammy the
Sherrif). Following that we will head to Mary’s
favorite place – Compound #42, Lake George for a bonfire and
more sharing of memories. All are very
welcome.
For those who would like to do
so, donations to Hospice House Fredericton would be
appreciated. The facility and staff are absolutely
amazing. Mary Ellen’s family would like to thank
them all for their compassion for the family and loving care of Mary
Ellen.
Bishop’s Funeral Home
& Crematorium 540 Woodstock Road have been entrusted with the
arrangements. The
