Evelyn M. Hatt
1937-2019
Evelyn Mae Hatt
At the Charlotte County Hospital in St. Stephen, N.B, on May 26th,
2019, Mrs. Evelyn Mae (Dorey) Hatt, wife of Frederick (Ted) Hatt, of
St. Andrews, NB, passed peacefully, surrounded by her husband and
daughters.
Born on April 28th, 1937, in Aylesford, Nova Scotia, she was a
daughter of the late Thomas and Ruth (Murphy) Dorey. A loving mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and good friend, she is
survived by two daughters; Angela Hatt of Slave Lake Alberta, Selina
Hatt (Maurice and Molly Basque) of St. Andrews, NB, her three
grandchildren; Robert Arsenault (Kathleen Ryan) of Calgary, AB; Sarah
Arsenault (Ben Smith) of Kamloops, B.; Derek Lee (Samantha Benson) of
Consort, AB; great-grandchildren Damian Lee and Michael Arsenault.
Evelyn also leaves behind her siblings George (Barbara) Dorey of
Eureka, California, and Deanna Morrell of Saint John, NB, her
sister-in-law Susan Stewart (Wade), as well as her beloved nieces and
nephews and cousins. Evelyn was predeceased by her son, Gordon
Frederick Hatt.
Evelyn was well known in the town of St. Andrews for her gifts of
short-bread cookies that she gifted during the Christmas season, and
the socks she knit with love for family and friends. Evelyn took great
care in her gift giving; not only at Christmas, but throughout the
year, and will be remembered fondly for her generous spirit.
At one time she was an avid curler in both Blacks Harbour, and later,
at the Heather Curling Club in St. Andrews. Evelyn was the creator of
many amazing costumes for her children (and often their friends);
creator of many wedding and birthday cakes, and a talented home maker
(long before Martha Stewart ever arrived on the scene). She will be
remembered for her amazing service at Hatt’s Sea Breeze
Restaurant, The China Chest, Gumushel’s Tartan Shop, and most recently
Kit & Kaboodle.
The family would like to thank the doctor’s and nurses of the
Saint John Regional Hospital; the Charlotte County Hospital, and the
wonderful staff of Extra-Mural for their exceptional and compassionate
care. The family is also extremely grateful for the kindness and
compassion of their friends, neighbours and the community during
Evelyn’s illness.
A memorial service in celebration of Evelyn’s life will
be held on Friday, May 31st, 2019 at 3:00 pm at All Saints Anglican
Church, 77 King Street, St. Andrews, NB. A reception will immediately
follow in the parish hall. Archdeacon John Matheson officiating.
In lieu of flowers donations to the Charlotte County Cancer
Society or to the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children would be
appreciated by the family. On line condolences to the family or

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care & direction of
