It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our
Mother on August 9, 2019 at Hospice Fredericton. Surrounded
by her children and loved ones, she waited for “her” Blue
Jays to secure the game before peacefully beginning her
journey. Mother courageously defied cancer for many
years.
She is survived by daughter Linda Brown, sons Bob (Laura
MacLean), Larry (Kim Long), grand daughters Jennifer Waye (Jon),
Melinda Kelly (Blake), Megan Brown and Paige Brown and great grandsons
Cole Waye, Hunter and Ben Kelly.
Born in Fredericton on June 26, 1926 she was the only
daughter of Allan and Bessie True. She lived her formative
years on the family farm in Lincoln. After her marriage to
Alvin “Brownie” they relocated to their life long home in
Barkers Point. Here they raised their children and developed
many friendships. Mary enjoyed her view of the UNB Campus,
the Saint John River and sunsets that never got old.
Mary had a long career as a bookkeeper with the
Capitol Coop Dairy. She enjoyed camping, travelling
throughout the province supporting local sports teams and spoiling
family with homemade goods. In her later years word search
and jigsaw puzzles were a passion but nothing compared to watching her
Blue Jays, her boy Sydney Crosby and curling.
Husband Brownie, infant son John and recently daughter Nancy
predeceased Mary. Also gone before her were her parents
Allan and Bessie True and brothers Gerald and Ronald.
Mary will be remembered for her quick wit, great cooking,
love for her family, pleasant demeanour and strength.
To honour Mary visitation will be held at Bishop’s
Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road at 1:00 p.m. Friday Aug. 16, funeral
to follow at 2:00 p.m. and private burial immediately following at
Lincoln Community Cemetery.
In Lieu of flowers donations would be appreciated to Hospice
Fredericton, MS Society Atlantic Division, or charity of
choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Melissa Brown 19262019..
