Theresa Keilty-Sharpe
1958-2020
It is with terrible sadness
that we announce the passing of Theresa Keilty-Sharpe. Theresa was
born on March 3, 1958 in Scott Siding, N.B., and died in the comfort
of her own home in Elmwood, N.B., on May 25, 2020, surrounded by love.
Theresa enjoyed a successful
and progressive career in Human Services in New Brunswick, Ontario and
Alberta after graduating from NBCC, Saint John. Her huge heart and
deep compassion changed many lives for the better from her former
students at Oromocto High School to working tirelessly to ensure her
clients at the Robin Hood Society, of Sherwood Park and Fort
Saskatchewan, Alberta enjoyed the highest quality of life. She was an
excellent gardener and was known for her beautiful flower beds and
green thumb. Her eye for design and creativity showed in her
meticulously cared for home. Therese was a great cook and loved to
preserve, pickle and generously shared the fruits of her labours. Her
family dinners were wonderful.
Theresa will be sadly missed
by her caring companion and loving partner Donnie Barrett and her
siblings; Richard (Patricia) Keilty of Woodstock; Jack (Barb) Keilty
of Scott Siding; Maxine (Paul) McGrattan of Doaktown; Diana Allen of
Edmonton. She was predeceased by her cherished daughter Miranda, and
beloved husband Gene, parents Agnes and John Keilty, as well as
brothers Michael and Stewart, sister in law Cheyenne Keilty, and
brother in law Jay Allen.
She is fondly remembered by
her step children; Robert Barrett of Stanley; Annette (Donald) Barrett
of Durham Bridge; Kerrie Anne (Terry) Barrett of Oromocto as well as
her sister in law, Marguerite McBride of Dartmouth; brother in law,
William (Cathy) Barrett of Dartmouth; and treasured grandchildren
Jacob and Bailey; as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews, and
countless friends who loved her dearly. She will be greatly missed.
Donnie and the family would
like to thank their Extra-Mural Nurse and the Occupational and
Respiratory therapists for their excellent care. There will be no
visitation. Cremation has taken place and Christian burial and life
celebration will take place at a later date —tba.
In lieu of flowers, donations
