SEYMOUR, JEANETTE
September 14, 1938 – January 8, 2020
We mourn the passing of Jeanette Seymour. After a courageous battle with cancer she passed away in the Intensive Care Unit at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on Wednesday, January 8, 2020. Jeanette was born September 14, 1938. She was the daughter of the late Muriel and Gerald Saunders, a devoted grandmother, loving mother and wife, caring sister and trusted friend.
Jeanette was a lifelong resident of Nashwaaksis, Fredericton, growing up and marrying Warren Gerald Seymour in 1955. She worked at the Dr. Everett Chalmers for over thirty years. She loved all sports and dogs, especially her constant companion Lily. More than anything else, though, she loved supporting her children and grandchildren in hockey arenas in New Brunswick, Atlantic Canada, Sweden, Ontario and the United States. She was fiercely proud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of every single one of her offspring.
