It is with deep sadness that
we announce the passing of Helen Melita
Lawrence, born in Sackville NB on Nov.10, 1923 . She
died at the Drew Nursing Home on September 28, 2021 due to COVID at
the age of 97.
She was the daughter of the
late Herbert and Hughena (Hargreaves)Tracy. She will be dearly missed
by her loving children David (Brenda) Lawrence of New Haven PEI,
Joanne (Keith) Carter of Sackville NB, grand children and great
grandchildren, as well as her sister Ruth(Don) McPhail along with many
nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Robert(Bob)
Lawrence, sons Robert and Micheal and her brother Raland William
Tracy.
Helen was the owner/operator
of her own hairdressing business for 55 years. She attended Mt.
Allison University and then studied hairdressing in Montreal. In her
younger years she was very active in many sports, especially bowling,
curling, tennis and golf. In her later years she loved playing cards,
knitting and cooking. She was a member of the Amherst Bridge club and
proudly became a life master of the ACBL.
She was a dedicated and
loving mother. One of her greatest joys was spending summers at the
cottage in Murray Corner with all her family and friends. And she
never turned down a game of crib with
anyone.
