Irene Lounsbury
1931-2021
Irene Louise Lounsbury, 89 of Canterbury Hall and
formerly of Petitcodiac passed away peacefully just four days shy of
her 90th birthday on Thursday, October 28, 2021.
Born in Wheaton Settlement, she was the daughter
of the late Ernest and Viola (Branscombe) McMackin. Irene was a
devoted Mother, Grandmother and Wife, never missing a sporting event
or chance to help her family. She was the best cook and loved
gathering her family for her special home cooked meals. Her and her
late husband Bud spent many years sitting in cold arenas watching
hockey, going on bus tours, gardening and volunteering at their
church.
Irene was a former employee of the T. Eaton
Company and retired from the laundry department at the Jordan Memorial
Home. She was a faithful Christian and member of the First North River
Baptist Church all of her life. She was on various committees over the
years, as well as part of the Petitcodiac Seniors.
Irene will be lovingly remembered by her son
Allan; grandchildren Alison (Jesse) and Cory (Brooklyn), their mother
Tanya, her brothers and sisters in law, and several nieces and
nephews. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
Besides her parents, Irene was predeceased by her husband Elwyn (Bud);
sister Blanche Alward (Nison), brothers Bliss and Edwin McMackin and
several brothers and sisters in law.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions a private family
service was held Sunday, October 31. Interment at First North River
Baptist Cemetery. Arrangements are in care of the Salisbury Funeral
Home (372-4800).
The family would like to thank Sherry and Grant
Seely, Silver Fox Special Care Home and Canterbury Hall for all the
care and kindness shown to Irene in her final years.
If desired, memorials to the First North River
Baptist Church Building Fund or a charity of choice would be
appreciated by the family.
