M. Bertella (Raworth) McIntyre It is with great sadness that the family of M. Bertella (Raworth) McIntyre announce her passing on Wednesday, July 13, 2016. Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, Bertella was the eldest daughter of the late Willa E. Hunter, Peel (Stickney), New Brunswick and R. Eric Raworth, Port Elgin, New Brunswick. Bertella attended Edith Cavell School, Aberdeen High School and was a proud graduate of Moncton High 1943 and Mount Allison University 1947. She became a Life Member of Mount Allison University Federated Alumni in 1972. Her Bachelor of Arts Degree included the early and rigorous Secretarial Course that required not only additional class time but also extended terms of study throughout the four year university programme. Bertella put her expertise and interest in this field to good use when employed at C.C. Raworth & Sons, as a part time Commercial teacher at St. Stephen High School and as a volunteer in numerous associations and organizations. A member of Beta Sigma Phi Gamma, Bertella also held membership and served as Education Secretary in the Atlantic Charter Chapter I.O.D.E. St. Stephen, New Brunswick and later in the former Mildred Bennett Chapter of Moncton. As well, she was a member of more than 55 years of the Canadian Federation of University Women. Upon returning to the Moncton area from St. Stephen in 1961, Bertella became very active in the former Lower Coverdale United Church. She was a member of the church choir for nearly 50 years and was a frequent volunteer organist and choir director. She was a Sunday School teacher and served on numerous church committees, was Past President of the United Church Women and in 1998, became a Life Member of the UCW. Bertella was a former member of the Bridgedale Lower Coverdale Women’s Institute and was, for many years, a committed UNICEF volunteer at the local and provincial levels, serving as Provincial Chair 1984 – 1987. Her personal interests also included the environment, gardening, the night skies, opera, piano, travel and the weather. An avid reader, Bertella’s love of books was evident in her Children’s Literature and Library Studies post university course work. She was an enthusiastic volunteer at several school libraries, including St. Stephen and Hillsborough, and in 1983 was recognized for her contribution of more than 500 hours of service to the Riverview Public Library. Bertella is survived by her daughter, Sharon McIntyre; her sister, Roberta Power (Gerard), Caissie Cape; and several nephews and nieces. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased in 2015 by George A. McIntyre, her husband of nearly 65 years and her nephew, Robert Power in 2012. Bertella will be forever missed by her family, including Myste, « the curly-tail cat », as well as her many friends and associates. At Bertella’s request, there are no visitation hours. A Service of Praise and Remembrance in Celebration of Her Life will be held on Sunday, August 7, 2016 at 2:00 pm from Fergusons Funeral Home Chapel, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995).
