Harriet Robinson
1919-2018
It is with great sadness that we
announce the death of our dear mother, grandmother, and great
grandmother Harriet Robinson of
Sackville, and formerly of Dorchester, New Brunswick on Wednesday,
April 25, 2018 at the age of 98.
Harriet loved life most when she was
surrounded by her daughter and sons of whom she was tremendously
proud. As well as being an avid reader, she loved the
challenge of daily crossword puzzles and enjoyed spending time playing
scrabble with her children. She will be remembered fondly
for her years as the librarian at the Dorchester Regional Library
where she shared her great love of books with children and adults
alike. Many will also remember her for long and dedicated
service to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch
#16. Harriet will be greatly missed by her family and
friends and affectionately remembered as a woman with a kind and
gentle spirit.
She was born in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania to Enoch and Lucy (Meakin) Horridge of Derbyshire and
Ilkeston, England. Harriet grew up in the small hillside
community of Laurel Run. She later immigrated to Canada,
married Frank in 1942, and settled in Dorchester where they raised
their eight children.
Harriet was predeceased by husband Frank
and son Michael, as well as her parents and five siblings.
She will be greatly missed by all her family and is survived by sons,
Frank (Geraldine), Rick (Sharon), Ron (Pat), Philip (Carla), Dan
(Holly), Tim (Peg), daughter Betty Noakes (Keith), grandchildren
Michael, Mary Frances, Adam, Jonathan, Logan, Courtney, Breanne,
Stephen, Ethan, and Simon, as well as six great
granchildren.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge
Street, Sackville (506-364-1300). A graveside service will
be held at the Dorchester Rural Cemetery at a later
date.
Donations in Harriet’s memory
to the Dorchester Memorial Public Library or to a charity of the
donor’s choice would be greatly appreciated.
Sharing of memories and condolences may
be sent to the family by visiting Harriet’s online memorial at
