It is with an appreciation of a life well lived, the family announces the passing of Sterling Everett McInnis, husband of Anne M. (Forbes) (Seely) McInnis, on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at the Saint John Regional Hospital of pneumonia.
Born on October 13, 1933, in Saint John, he was a son of the late Edward and Jennette (King) McGinnis. At a young age, Sterling lost his mother and was raised in PEI by her parents. They moved to Brookville, NB, where he received his education. Sterling served with the Navy in Halifax from 1956-1971, serving as an Airplane Mechanic, retiring as Corporal. He met his first wife Louise (Moore) McInnis in Halifax while serving in the Navy at Shearwater, NS. Sterling spent three years working aboard the HMCS Bonaventure during the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. During these years, he played hockey with the Canadian Navy Team. Sterling enjoyed playing hockey, baseball, softball and collecting coins. After retiring from the Navy, Sterling owned and operated McInnis Grocery in Dartmouth; he then was employed as a Commissionaire at the Halifax Citadel until his retirement. After the passing of his wife, he met Anne Marie, and was immediately welcomed with open arms into her family. He was kind, compassionate, and a gentleman. Sterling loved to sing and sang often to Anne. He and Anne were faithful members of First Bible Baptist Church in Quispamsis and loved their church family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
