Such a beautiful soul is never forgotten and
with that thought, we the family of Helen Frederica MacGougan sadly
announce her passing on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at the Dr.
Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Our beautiful mother, grandmother
and great-grandmother gave us much to remember and we are so grateful
for the love and happiness she gave us.
Born in Fredericton on August 24, 1923, she was
a daughter of the late Horace and Janet (Grasse) Drummond and a loving
and devoted wife to the late Albert Ira MacGougan.
Baptist by faith, she loved her church family
at the Nashwaaksis Baptist Church. As a dedicated employee of Zellers
Ltd. for many years, she made many lasting friendships with both her
fellow co-workers and the shoppers. Her beautiful smile and warm
welcome endeared her to many people. She was an enthusiastic member of
the Cousins Club, loved to crochet and one of her most favorite
pastimes was coloring. Her neighbours were an important part of her
life and she dearly loved them for their many visits and support over
the years.
Helen will be lovingly remembered by her
children, Betty Hennessey (Edgar) and Michael “Mike”
MacGougan (Tina). Her grandchildren, Jennifer, Jackie, Gillian, Robb,
Allison, Michael, David and her 9 great-grandchildren brought so much
joy to her heart. Helen is also survived by two sisters, Pauline
MacDonald and Barbara McLaughlin, also a sister-in-law, Millie
MacGougan; nieces and nephews.
Aside from her parents and husband, Helen was
predeceased by a daughter, Linda Abby Lou Brown, son-in-law Robert
“Bob” J. Brown and brothers Eugene and Douglas
Drummond.
The family will receive condolences at
Bishop’s Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road, Fredericton on
Tuesday, December 18, 2018 from 12 Noon until 1:45 PM followed by a
memorial service from Bishop’s Funeral Home Chapel at 2:00
PM with her grandson, Bishop Robb MacGougan officiating. A reception
at the funeral home will follow the service. Interment in the Sunny
Bank Cemetery later.
As a way to remember this beautiful lady,
memorials to the Diabetes Canada (NB) or The Kidney Foundation of
Canada (Atlantic Canada Branch) would be appreciated by the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Helen F MacGougan 19232018..
