Nancy McGrath
1941-2019
It is with great sadness that the family of Nancy Ann Lorraine McGrath
of Hampton, NB, announces her passing, which occurred peacefully on
November 16, 2019, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Saint
John, NB on April 11, 1941, she was the daughter of the late Ernest
and Mary (Campbell) Whittaker.
Nancy and Gerry returned to Hampton in 1997 where they have been
blessed with many, many wonderful and cherished friends and
neighbours. Nancy was a proud member of the St. Alphonsus Catholic
Church as well as the St. Paul’s Mother’s Union in
Hampton. Over the years she was involved with many organizations. She
was Queen with the Hampton Red Hatters and a member of the Saint John
Senior’s Bowling League.
Nancy is survived by her loving husband of 56 years, Gerald McGrath;
children Trudy McGrath (Kevin Duff) of Grand Bay-Westfield, NB, Nancy
“Buffy” McGrath (Daniel Crabbe) of Fredericton, NB, and Sean
McGrath (Stephanie) of Lower Coverdale, NB; grandchildren Emily Duff,
Samuel McGrath, Sydney McGrath, Nathaniel Crabbe, Ben Duff and Kristy
Crabbe; brother-in-law Bernie McGrath (Eileen); sisters-in-law Hazel
Whittaker and Marion Lenihan; as well as several nieces and nephews.
