The death of
Geraldine McEwen, beloved wife of the late Kenneth Leonard McEwen,
occurred peacefully on Friday, February 22, 2019 at Kennebec
Manor. Born on December 16, 1930 in Fairville, West Saint
John, she was the daughter of the late James Edward and Mary Ellen

Prior to her
retirement, Gerry was employed as a food service supervisor at St.
Joseph’s Hospital. She always took great comfort
in her faith and was involved with several local parishes, including
St. Rose, Stella Maris and the Cathedral of the Immaculate
Conception. Gerry was an avid reader, a music lover, a lover
of roses and always enjoyed a good game of cards. She was
well known for gracious hosting and wonderful cooking.
Gerry’s wonderful sense of humour and smile will be missed
by all who knew her.
Gerry will be
lovingly remembered by her children, Paul McEwen (Marion) of Rothesay
and Mary-Ellen (Phyll) of Truro; daughter-in-law, Patricia McEwen of
Saint John; grandchildren, Carrie Ann Nordstrom, Mathew McEwen, David
McEwen, Sean McEwen, Carrieann Parker, Kyle Hollingsworth and Ben
