Milton “Moe” L. Cross
1934-2020
Peacefully at PassamaquoddyLodge with his family at his side March 26,
2020, Milton Leslie Cross went home to be with his Lord. Moe was
married to the love of his life Joyce Rosalyn (Wentworth) for 62
years. Born in Yarmouth, NS he was the son of the late Leslie and
Sarah(Feltham) Cross.
Moe was a faithful member of the St. Andrews Baptist Church serving on
many boards and committes, as well as a member of the Southwest
Baptist Association for many years. He was a plumber by trade working
for Henry Irwin and Bartlett’s Plumbing before working for the
Provincial Government as Industrial Park Supervisor for many years. He
was also Wharfinger at the Bayside Wharf. Moe was a former member of
the Kiwanis Club for many years serving as president and was on town
council serving on many committees.
Woodworking was a love of Moe’s and he could often be found working in
his workshop building some idea of one of his family members – often
just from a picture or an idea. He was proud that he built his first
house and was always helping with a renovation or project where needed
– whether it be family, friend or Church. His greatest achievements
were the intricate dollhouses he built for his granddaughters and are
treasured heirlooms.
The cottage on the Glebe Road was a special place to Moe and the
children and grandchildren have many fond memories of growing up there
– swimming, boating, playing on the beach, campfires and long walks.
Moe loved the outdoors and was often on the golf course in years past.
He played up until a year ago at the course in St. Stephen. In recent
times he could be seen walking around the trails in town.
Moe is survived by his children Cathy (Pat), and Jeffrey(Alison) of
St. Andrews, and Heather(Justin) of Woodstock NB; 8 grandchildren –
Erin, Graham, Adam, Jennifer, Megan, Nathan, Ashley, Tyler; 6 great
grandchildren – Sophie, Rowan, Evie, Isabella, Noah, and soon to be
born Gabriel; 2 sisters – Lila Haughn and Verna McFarlane of St.
Andrews, and Gordon of St. John’s, NF and several nieces and nephews.
Moe was predeceased by his beloved wife Joyce, brothers Ewen and
Arnold(Skid) and great grandson Mason.
By Moe’s request cremation will take place. A memorial service will
take place at a later time and place to be announced. In lieu of
flowers donations to the St. Andrews Baptist Church Building Fund or
the Charlotte County SPCA would be appreciated by the family. Online
condolences can be made to the family or donations can be made at

Even though Dad was not at Passamaquoddy Lodge long he was happy and
content and a special thank you to the wonderful staff for the loving
care they showed him.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the care and direction of
Humphrey’s Funeral Home, 20 Marks St., St. Stephen, NB E3L 2B2.
