Lynn Rodgers
1944-2019
It is with great sadness that the family of Lynn Hopey
Rodgers of Smithtown, NB, announces her passing which occurred on
August 31, 2019 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Pollett
River, NB, on January 23, 1944, she was the daughter of the late
Charles and Evelyn (Hopey) Lutes.
Lynn pursued studies in Nursing and became a Registered Nurse
in 1965, 3 days prior to getting married. Over the years,
she worked at Kitchener Waterloo Hospital, Sus Regional Health
Centre and ended her career at the Hampton Medical
Centre.
She was an active member and organist at the Smithtown United
Baptist Church, always willing to donate her time and energy wherever
she was needed. She was also a member of the French Village
Ladies Guild and the Women’s Missionary
Society.
Her grandchildren were the light of her life. She
could often be found at an ice rink watching her granddaughters figure
skating, her grandsons play hockey or at the stock car races cheering
on family.

“Bob” Rodgers of Smithtown, NB; son Steven Rodgers
and his wife Angela of Smithtown, NB; daughter Karen McCully and her
husband Larry of Petitcodiac, NB; cherished grandchildren: Matt
