Patricia Maureen Murphy
1936-2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Patricia Maureen Murphy of Fredericton, NB. Surrounded by the love of
her family she passed peacefully on Sunday, September 27, 2020, at the
Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital.
Born on February 25, 1936, daughter of the late Paul and
Margaret McGinn. Survived by her loving husband, Gerard, and their
children, Paul (Carolyn), Shawn (David), Jamie (Jessica); brother,
Walter (Jeannine); grandchildren, Ryan (Ally), Kristyn, Jacob (Ellie),
Matt, Megan, Jeremy, Connor, Tessa, and Nathan; great granddaughter,
Emma. She was predeceased by her sisters, Mary and Margaret
“Marka”.
Pat was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great
grandmother.
Pat graduated from the St. John General Hospital School for
Nurses in 1957. Her adventurous spirit and passion for caring for
others led her nursing career to Halifax, Galveston, Texas and back to
Atlantic Canada where she worked in Saint John, Dartmouth,
Charlottetown, Moncton, and Fredericton.
She was a member of St. Dunstan’s Parish Church and
the St. John General Hospital Nurses Association.
In her retirement she continued giving to others through her
involvement with Meals on Wheels in both Fredericton and Saint John.
Her love of history also led her to volunteer at the Saint John Museum
for several years.
Pat became an accomplished painter in her later years. Her
works of art hang proudly on the walls of all her family’s
homes.
Arrangements are in care of McAdam’s Funeral Home.
A Memorial Mass for family and invited guests only will be celebrated
from St. Dunstan’s Catholic Church, Fredericton. Interment
will take place in the Hermitage Catholic Cemetery. For those who
wish, donations in Pat’s memory can be made to a charity of
the donor’s choice.
