Peacefully at the residence of her daughter in St. George NB on
September 10, 2019, Anita Goss (Spinney) Grearson, wife of the late
Gerald Edward Grearson of St. George NB. Born in St. Stephen NB on
October 5, 1926, she was the only child of Llewellyn and Royce Lavonne

Anita will be lovingly remembered by her daughter: Judith (Donald)

Danielle (Kevin) Hughes both of St. George NB; great-grandchildren:
Declan and Lennox Hughes; several cousins. In addition to her parents

Prior to retirement, Anita began her career with the Bank of Nova

where she was employed for 32 years. A pillar of knowledge in the
community, Anita was an early member of the Charlotte County
Historical Society, The Charlotte County Genealogy Society, was active
on the Charlotte County Museum Board and volunteered at the Charlotte
County Archives. She was a long time member of the St. Mark’s Anglican
Church in St. George and served as Warden, was a Vestry and Choir
Member, and was active with the WA/ACW for over 50 years. Anita and
Gerald were married for over 59 years and they made an amazing life
together. They took many trips across Canada and to the USA and Anita
documented, in detail, their many adventures together. She loved to
read, do crafts, paint, garden and of course research local history
and work on Genealogy. Anita will always be remembered for her kind
demeanor, her helpful hands and her loving heart.
