We are so

many. Gloria Winnifred Cheney passed away at the age of 93

Dumont Hospital. She was born in Moncton to Ralph Cheney of

the City of Moncton in 2007. This award was presented to her
by Mayor Lorne Mitton at Crandall University. She was an
amazing person and we will all miss her so very much. She was a woman
of strong Faith and a life long member of First Baptist
