Edwin “Ned” Acton Thomas
1929-2019
It is with sadness that the family of Edwin “Ned”
Thomas announces his death at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on
Sunday, January 6, 2019, at the age of 90. Born in Campbellton, NB, on
January 3, 1929, he was the husband of Hazel Thomas of
Fredericton.
In addition to his wife, Hazel, Ned leaves behind his
children, Mark Thomas (Gina) and Patty Thomas; grandchildren, Sandi
Braun (Jeff), Christina Martin (Zack), Jennifer Simms (Matt), Sarah
Piercy, Evelyn and Serena Mott; as well as 7 great grandchildren. Ned
was predeceased by his parents, Frederick “Vernon” and Edith
(Cummings) Thomas; sons, John, George, and Frederick Thomas; daughter,
Susan Mott; sister, Joan Thomas.
Ned was an avid sports player and enthusiast. He especially
enjoyed hockey and did some coaching in his earlier years. As his
family grew he looked forward to spending time on family vacations and
camping with his children and grandchildren. He also enjoyed reading
in his spare time. Ned will be dearly missed.
There will be no visitation. A memorial service will be held
from the J.A. McAdam Memorial Chapel on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at
2:00 pm with Rev. Dr. Kelly Burke officiating. Interment will take
place in Campbellton in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in
Ned’s memory can be made to NB Heart and Stroke Foundation or the
Foundation for Prader-Willi Research Canada.
