Obituary Overview
Mary Frances Meaney
Meaney (Ryan), Mary Frances – Age 91 of Dartmouth NS formally of Corner Brook NL
Mary, Mom, Nano passed away peacefully on Thursday evening on August 16, 2018 in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia with her adoring family by her side.
Mom and Dad moved from Corner Brook, Newfoundland to Dartmouth in the spring of 2016 to be closer to their four girls, following many years of love and attention given to them by their only boy. We girls could not have been happier. This move was a gift to us and we have cherished the adventures and family gatherings that ensued – country drives, beach time, pool time. Mom was a lifelong swimmer. Being by or in the water sustained her.
While Mom had a few health challenges in the last years of her life, she faced them with dignity and determination. We are thankful for the attention her new community gave her – from the staff at Parkland at the Lakes to Dr. Barry Clarke. You have all been so thoughtful and caring.
Mary leaves behind her husband of 63 years, Mike; her son, John (Debbie); daughters, Wynne Anne (Joe), Michelle (Bob), Donna (Brent), Catherine (Mike) and grandchildren, Bradley, Samantha, Jake, Hannah and Andrew.
Mary was the daughter of Thomas Ryan Sr. and Catherine (Kit), of St. John’s, NL. She was predeceased by her four brothers, Tom Jr., Jack, Mick and Jim of St. John’s, and sister, Patsy Goobie of White Rock, BC.
A private family ceremony will be held on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 and Mom will return to her beloved Newfoundland at a later date.
