Obituary
With heavy hearts the family of Joan (Reynolds) Soucy, announces her passing which occurred on Tuesday, December 15th, 2020 at Bobby’s Hospice. Born 1942 in Tracy, New Brunswick, she was the daughter of the late Gordon and Rose (Webb) Reynolds.
Joan had an extremely strong work ethic and took pride of her working career as Public Relations Director with the Red Cross and Exhibition Park Raceway.
Joan valued her involvement when lending a helping hand within her community, especially volunteering with the United Way, Mind Care, Cherry Brook Zoo and many more. Joan had extraordinary kindness that’s not found in most people, a zest for life that shined bright!
She was the well-deserved recipient of a “Lifetime Achievement Award” for her many years of volunteer work.
Her favorite quote “People may forget what you say and do, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou
Above all, she was an amazing leader as a mother and devoted grandmother who will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.
Joan is survived by her children; Traci Martin-Alescio, William “Billy” Martin and Laura Marles.
She will be remembered by her grandchildren; Scott McArthur, Brooke Marles, Julia McArthur, Matthew Martin, Jonah Martin and Lilli Marles-Woods. She will be missed by many nieces, nephews and close friends.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (646-2424).
Following cremation, a private family interment will take place at a later date.
I’ll Be Watching From Heaven
When you were just a little babe
I kept you busy so you’d behave
I told you stories about the sea,
your mom, dad and all about me
You listened with intent – your eyes aglow
You pictured yourself in the fairy-tale show
We went everywhere you & I
We traveled the world & flew through the sky
The destination we didn’t care
It was just you & me – your Grand’Mere
There is a place I must go
I’ll travel the sky – I’ll put on a show
Don’t be afraid & don’t be sad
Don’t grumble & don’t be mad
This is life! I’ve taught you well!
I’ll be watching from heaven
Just like the fairy-tale.
Dedicated to my Beloved Grandchildren
Love Nana,
Joan Marles (Soucy)
