Sherry E. Francis
1953-2020
After a long and courageously-fought battle with cancer,
Sherry passed away at Moncton City Hospital on May 21, 2020 at the age
of 67. Born in Rexton, she was the daughter of the late Carl and
Jennie (Wilt) Roberts. She is survived by her husband of 40 years,
Allan Francis. Also survived by her stepson Jesse Francis and
daughter-in-law Moira McGuire of Wellington, PEI as well as
grandchildren Mary-Etta, Lucy, and Rory.
Also surviving Sherry are many loving sisters and brothers in
Moncton, Rexton, Fredericton and Miramichi, NB. They are Gayle, Carl
(Manny) (deceased), Wendy (Joe), Peter (Phyllis), Margo (Rodney),
Valerie (Alvin), Dianne (Brian), Gregory (Patricia), Elaine, David
(Nicole), Kimberley, Dan (Jill), and many beloved nieces and
nephews.
Sherry loved many things in life: music, movies, walking,
nature, and reading. Over the years Sherry enjoyed travelling,
sailing, and motorcycling with her husband Allan. Among
Sherry’s greatest joys in life were her family and
friends.
Following her diploma in business from
Oulton’s Business College Sherry began a career in banking
that lasted the next 43 years. Her many friends, colleagues and
customers have always thought the world of Sherry as she always saw
the good in everyone and encouraged the best in us all.
Sherry is remembered by all as a gentle, kind and loving
soul. She supported and raised funds for many charities. Sherry was
devoted for years to World Vision and underprivileged children both at
home and away.
The last three years’ struggle with cancer would
not have been possible without the help and care by so many family,
friends, nurses and doctors with the Moncton City hospital as well as
Extra-mural nursing. Special thanks to Drs. Harb, Grendar and the
dedicated team at the Moncton Oncology Department. Also in latter days
to Dr. Nicholas Anhorn ND of the Moncton Naturopathic Clinic and Dr.
Mark Rudderham ND of Amherst NS for their care and
treatments.
Thanks to so many dear friends and family for care, cooking
and prayers; also to dear friends Hélène and
Brian, Wayne and Linda and Laveran for all the special help. God bless
you all. Donations are appreciated to the local charity of your
choice.
If you’ve had Sherry for a friend, you were truly
blessed.
We will keep her close in our hearts always.
Due to
current Covid-19 restrictions a memorial service will be announced at
a later date.
