Maria Ann Nickerson
1926-2020
We are saddened to announce the passing of Maria Ann Nickerson who died peacefully on June 4 at the Miramichi Regional Hospital at the age of 94….one month short of her 95th birthday.
Born in Miramichi, Maria was the daughter of the late Clifford and Addie (McMahon) Hubbard. Maria was a devoted and caring person with her family and friends. She was a very active lady who had a zest for life, she loved to golf (even achieving a “hole in one”), an avid card player playing competitive bridge into her 90s, Auction 45 and Newfie Bingo, a die hard Blue Jays fan and loved watching curling and figure skating, an awesome cook renowned for her famous Scotch cakes, loved to travel, and did a lot of trailering with Nick and was a phenomenal seamstress and a volunteer church worker at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Parish.
Maria is survived by her children: Doug Underhill (Barb) of Miramichi, NB, Maureen Huzarski (Terry) of Ottawa, ON and Sharon Underhill (Randy Enright) of Ottawa, ON; her step children: Ann Marie Frizzell (Leland) of Halifax, NS, Mary Genevieve (Neenie) Stewart (Richard) of Miramichi, NB, Joan Henry (John) of Miramichi, NB, Danny Nickerson of Miramichi, NB and Paula Stewart (Darren) of Fredericton, NB and special niece: Patsy Ann Holt (like a daughter to Maria). She especially enjoyed calls and visits from her grandchildren: Kelly, Kari, Jeff, Amanda, Kaylin and great grandson: Morgan.
