Ada Iona Blanchard
1947-2020
Unexpectedly at her residence at St. George NB on May 19, 2020, Ada
Iona (Williston) Blanchard, wife of the late Melem Joseph Blanchard.
Born at Miramichi NB on July 17, 1947, she was a daughter of the late
Harvey and Annie R. (Taylor) Williston.
A loving mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, she is survived by
her daughter; Brenda (Joe) Corning of Rollingdam NB, her son; Kevin
(Kathy) Blanchard of St. Stephen NB, several grandchildren and great
grandchildren, brothers; Mack and Dellas Blanchard both of Miramichi
NB, sisters; Rita Blanchard of St. Andrews and Hilda Johnson of
Miramichi as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition
to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her grandson Corey
Campbell as well as six brothers and 2 sisters.
Prior to her retirement, Iona worked for Connors Brothers in Blacks
Harbour for more than 25 years, mostly on the Baeders. She was a quiet
person by nature who loved television, especially Judge Judy and Jerry
Springer and cherished her visits from her children and
grandchildren. She will be sadly missed.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic there will be no visiting or
service. A private family graveside service will be held at a later
date. In Iona’s memory, donations to the New Brunswick Heart and
Stroke Foundation or a charity of the donors choice would be
appreciated by the family.
