Evelyn Patricia Read (née Rooney)
Evelyn P. Read (née
Rooney), 73, of Moncton, and formerly of Charlottetown, PEI, passed
away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital on Tuesday, December 3, 2019.
Born in Moncton, she was the daughter of the late Everett and
Elizabeth (Torrens) Rooney.
Evelyn was a loving wife,
mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. After 30 years living on PEI,
she retired from the Computer Services Department at UPEI. Evelyn
enjoyed spending time with her family, traveling, reading, playing
golf, dancing, and having a glass or two of wine with her family and
friends. What Evelyn did not like were migraines, hot flashes, cancer,
dementia and that both of her children lived so far
away.
Evelyn will be sadly missed
and fondly remembered by her husband of 51 years, Bruce; son, Chris
Read (Grainne) of Sligo, Ireland; daughter, Kelly MacDonald (Jason) of
Whitehorse, Yukon; cherished grandchildren, Lucas and Ella Read;
step-grandchildren, Patrick, Emma, Juulia and Erica MacDonald;
brothers, John Rooney (Ann), Mark Rooney (Lois), Peter Rooney (Betty)
and Greg Rooney (Sandra), several nieces, nephews and close friends,
especially her Hall’s Landing
family.
In addition to her parents,
she was predeceased by her sister, Lynn Mills and brother, Paul
Rooney.
Special thanks to the nurses
at the Palliative Care Unit of the Moncton Hospital and Dr. Pamela
Mansfield.
