During her working years, Fannie was a friendly face at the Bank of Nova Scotia and CIBC.
She took great pride in her family and her home, where she loved to be working in her flower gardens.
All who knew Fannie, will attest to what a wonderful cook she was.
Everyone has their favorite dishes and desserts and will certainly miss her daily baking treats. Sunday family dinners was a tradition for
many years, and ‘what’s for dessert’ was usually the question asked when each one arrived. She loved shopping and spoiling everyone at Christmas and Birthdays.
She enjoyed walking, music, family gatherings, watching tv and could contribute to any sports discussion while sitting around the table having a chat with the boys. She will be remembered by her laugh, her smile and the sparkle in her eyes.
Fannie was a member of the Nashwaaksis United Church.
As per Fannie’s request, there will be no visitation or funeral. A private family burial will take place in Cardigan, NB.
Donations in Fannie’s memory may be made to the North Cardigan United Church Cemetery or a charity of the donors choice. Personal condolences may be offered through www.yorkfh.com
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Fannie mae Gorman 2019..
