Elgin “Warren” Folkins
1951-2020
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Warren Folkins, 69, at his home in
Middleton, NB, with his loving family by his
side. Warren passed away on Friday, October 30, 2020, after a
courageous battle with cancer. Born in Sus, NB, he was the son of
the late Ronald & Estella (Carson)
Folkins.
Warren’s hard working nature has lent
skill and talent to carpentry, mechanics, and endless building
projects. His physical strength, strength of character and steadfast
support have been such a blessing to his family. There was always an
endless parade of people at his shop door looking to borrow something
or seeking advice, which often led to lengthy conversations on various
subjects, which Warren always enjoyed.
Warren had a passion for his family,
being in the woods, traveling, and music. His favourite saying was
“Do things the easy way, not the hard way.”
The family would like to extend their
gratitude to the Oncology Department of the Moncton Hospital for their
care and compassion, as well as for the exceptional care shown to
Warren by Extra-Mural Services, Sackville.
Warren will be fondly remembered by his
wife Wendy (nee Hunter); his daughter Carol Ann (Mike), New Minas, NS;
his sons Tyson (Karen), Calgary, AB, and Adam (Kelly), Hampton, NB;
his stepson, Troy (Hayley), Midgic, NB; Papa’s grandchildren, Abby,
Evan, Brittany, Patrick, and Colby; his step-grandson Dakota; brothers
Ritchie (Alice), Lloyd (Donna); sisters Marion and Elsie (Mike);
brother-in-law, Roger (Connie); sisters-in-law, Linda (Allison),
Jo-Ann, Doris, and Rose (Jeff), as well as many nieces and
nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased
by his grandson Taylor.
Arrangements are under the care and
guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge
Street, Sackville, NB (506-364-1300). Honouring Warren’s wishes,
cremation has taken place. A private graveside service will be held at
the Wesley United Church Cemetery in Berwick, NB.
Donations can be made in Warren’s memory
to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Wesley United Church, Berwick,
NB.
