Noryne M Matheson of Riverview, NB
passed away at The Moncton Hospital on Saturday, December 21, 2019 at
the age of 86. Born in Charlottetown, PEI she was the only child of
the late Alexander and Margaret MacPherson who was widowed
shortly after Noryne was born.
Noryne was raised by her mother, a dedicated
nurse, and went on to work briefly in the airline travel industry
before marrying the love of her life, Ross Matheson, of Charlottetown,
PEI, then resided to Riverview NB. Noryne was a devoted wife, bridge
player and eager travel companion of Ross’s over the years
until they purchased Lakeview Lodge and Cottages of Cavendish , which
they owned and operated together for almost twenty years. She was an
avid reader, and could discuss almost any subject with anyone, in her
kind, friendly, and shy, manner. She loved animals and was extremely
fond of her dog Brandy and cat Muffin, her neighbors dogs and more
recently the many dogs of her nieces and nephews. There was always a
box of treats by her chair! She was generous, insightful and had a
great sense of humor. She took great interest in the lives of her
nieces, nephews and all of their families and never failed to keep up
to date on all of their different activities! She will be missed by us
all.

NB, Barbara Pratt of Hammonds Plains, NS; nephews, Halbert Pratt,
Malcolm (Rena) both of Charlottetown, Roderick “Dhuey” Pratt

and caring neighbors.
