Elaine Hatheway
1922-2020
It is with deep sadness that our family announces the passing of our
beloved mother and grandmother, Sadie Elaine Hatheway on May 18, 2020
at the Hotel Dieu St. Joseph Hospital.
Mom was born in South Tilley, NB to parents Mann and Lila (Pirie)
Rattray. She was the only girl in her family of three brothers.
James (late Mary), Charles (late Pauline) and George (Geraldine). Mom
was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 65 years, Rev. Perley
Hatheway; her daughter, Gail Hatheway; and a son-in-law, Paul Long.
She is survived by her son Wayne (Joyce) Hatheway of Halifax, Nova
Scotia; two daughters, Sheila Long of Perth-Andover and Violet (Serge)
Roussel of Perth-Andover. She also leaves to mourn her passing, 10
grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren;
her sister-in-law, Geraldine Rattray of Clyde, NY. Numerous nieces
and nephews that mom loved and cared for deeply.
Mom spent her adult life as a pastor’s wife working alongside Dad.
She fulfilled that role with grace and had compassion for everyone she
met. She was a devoted Mom and Grammy. Putting us first and praying
for us daily. Mom was hard working. Often working a job outside of the
home. An excellent homemaker, cook and seamstress, she provided well
for her family. Mom was also an avid reader. In later years, she began
to paint pictures which she had a talent for and enjoyed doing.
Mom was a long time member of Calvary Tabernacle. She was a supporter
of foreign missions, Tupelo Children’s Mansions and the local
food bank.
Mom was our family’s common denominator. Our matriarch. Now we
must honor her memory and legacy by continuing to be a close, loving
family that supports each other as we carry on. We will miss her
desperately and love her always.
Our family would like to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Larry
Kennedy for his kind, proficient care as Moms primary physician for
many years.
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, a private graveside service will be
held in River de Chute Cemetery. A more formal service will be held
once the Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted.
For those who wish, memorial donations to the Making a Difference Food
Bank or to the River de Chute Cemetery would be appreciated by the
family.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Brunswick Funeral Home,
Perth-Andover, NB.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Elaine Hatheway 19222020..
