Cecil Totten
1927-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Cecil Sterling
Totten of Petitcodiac, NB, announces his passing which occurred on
April 27, 2020 at the Dr. V.A. Snow Centre. Born in Barnesville, NB,
on December 14, 1927, he was the son of the late Ruel and Annabelle
(Verner) Totten.
Cecil moved to Ontario as a young man, where he met and
married Helen (Kellar) and raised a family of four. Cecil worked at
General Motors for 20 years and lived on a hobby farm in Nestleton,
Ontario. After retiring from GM, Cecil, Helen and two younger children
moved to a farm in Elgin, NB, where many people visited. They moved to
Petitcodiac after retiring from farming, where Cecil remained after
Helen’s death in 2009. More recently he moved into the Dr.
V.A. Snow Center where he passed away in his sleep on
Monday.
Cecil enjoyed fishing and hunting and had a great love of
animals, especially deer.
Cecil is survived by his loving children: Larry Totten of
Hampton, Donna Quick of Port Perry, ON, Darlene (Dan) Briggs of Saint
John, and Diane (Keith) Dueck of Ajax, ON; brother Lorne (Odette)
Totten; sisters: Lois Perry and Vera Northrup; special family friend
