It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rita
Abbott on Sunday, November 22nd, 2020, at
Naasis Village, Shannex, Neill Hall. Rita was born in
Whitbourne, Newfoundland, on October 21st,
1926, to Thomas and Bertha Suley.
She will be lovingly remembered and cherished by her
children, Marilyn Abbott-Charters (Stephen), Robert Abbott (Regina),
and Carla Abbott; her 5 grandchildren, Pamela Fulton (Chris), Julia
Lavery (Jim), Thomas Charters (Janelle), Nicole Emmerson (Mark), and
Calli Abbott; 12 great grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and
sister Gwen Noseworthy.
Rita was predeceased by her husband Lloyd, sister Minnie
Mercer, and brother Clarence Suley.
Rita worked for the Department of Fisheries as a stenographer
until her marriage to the love of her life, Lloyd Robert Abbott of St.
John’s, Newfoundland. Together they lived a happy,
full, and joyous married life of 66 years.
A
special thank you to the staff of Neill Hall for the kindness, care
and compassion shown to our mother.
At the
request of the family there will be no visitation. Due to COVID-19
restrictions there will be a private funeral service with an interment
