Obituary
John Joseph O’Brien, age 88, passed away on August 20, 2020 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born in Saint John, NB, on November 4, 1931.
John worked his whole life in healthcare, the last 30 years before retiring at St Joseph’s Hospital as a Nursing Orderly. John loved people, took pride in his work and always made his work environment festive and fun.
John is survived by his daughters; Cathy (Dr Robert Webb), Cindy (Rod Sleep) and Tracy (Sam Latimer), his son Mark (Anne), 10 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff and residences of the Seely Lodge (Jan Seely, Susan Hughes, Micheyla Gorham, Aswathy Gopal, Christin Campbell, Kelly Walsh and Gloria LeBlanc) for their care and the many kindnesses they showed John while he was with them. The family are very grateful for the compassion of Dr McKay and Diane Sentner of the Saint John Regional Hospital Emergency Department.
In keeping with John’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral service. A private graveside service will be held at St Joseph’s Cemetery. For those who wish, remembrances to the SPCA would be appreciated, as John loved all animals.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of John Joseph O’Brien November 4 1931 August 20 2020 (age 88)..
