It is with broken hearts that the family of Mary Elizabeth
(Dingley) Wheeler announces her sudden passing at her home on March 26
at the age of 82.
She is survived by daughters, Pam Wheeler of Fredericton and
Kim Stuart (Bob) of New Maryland; brothers, Rick (Linda) of Hanwell
and Reg (Shirley) of Penniac; several nieces and
nephews.
Mary was predeceased by her husband, Gilbert (Buddy) Wheeler;
mother, Blanche (Endall) Dingley; brothers, Herbert (Herbie) and
Kenny; a nephew as well as several aunts and uncles.
Following in her mother’s footsteps Mary was a proud, strong
woman who made many sacrifices
for her family of whom she was very proud. She was the oldest
of five children, and being the only
girl, sometimes suffered at the hands of her brothers but
loved them dearly.
Mary was a legal secretary for over 35 years until her
retirement. For many years she was a Saturday shift captain at the
Fredericton Community Kitchen and on the Boards of the Fredericton
Community Kitchen and New Brunswick Association of Food
Banks. In her younger years she enjoyed curling in the
Business Girls section of the Fredericton Curling club. In retirement
she enjoyed coffee and lunch dates with her fellow retirees as well as
winter trips south with family.
A graveside service will be held at a later
date.
Donations in Mary’s memory can be made to the Heart and
Stroke Foundation or charity of the
donor’s choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Elizabeth Wheeler 19392020..
