Sheldon George Wilcox
1936-2021
The passing of Sheldon George Wilcox, husband of the late
Audrey Frances (Richardson) Wilcox of Pennfield NB occurred at the
Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen NB on October 5, 2021. Born in
Pennfield on October 31, 1936; he was a son of the late Ashton and
Edith (Trynor) Wilcox.
A loving father, grandfather and brother, Sheldon is survived
by his daughter: Jeannie (Mark) Butler of Pennfield; his son: Haven
Wilcox (Angela) of Blacks Harbour; his grandchildren; Sarah, Caitlin,
Alex and Andrew, great grandchildren: Lexis, Taylor, Madison and
MacKenzie; sister, Joyce Evans of Saint John and several nieces and
nephews. Besides his parents Sheldon was predeceased by his beloved
wife, Audrey; brothers: Lawrence and Ellsworth; sister, Marguerite
Cooke.
Prior to retirement, Sheldon worked most of his life as a
laborer in various jobs, starting at Pennfield Air Base, delivering
propane as well as the construction of New River Campground
in his early years. He then went to work at Point Lepreau
during it’s construction. Later he went to work for Connors Brothers
and finally at Keiths Building Supplies where he retired. Following
his retirement Sheldon never rested as he went back to work doing
casual custodian work at Blacks Harbour School. Sheldon had a very
good work ethic and took great pride in not ever having to draw
unemployment. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and
fishing as well as snowmobiling and atving. He was a long time member
of the Wesleyan Church in Blacks Harbour. Sheldon will be sadly missed
by his family and all who knew him.
The family would like to thank the staff of Kindred Home Card
and the staff and nurses of Eastern Charlotte Extra Mural for all
their tender care and assistance given to Sheldon during his time at
home.
Resting at the Wesleyan Church in Blacks Harbour with
visiting at the church on Thursday and Friday from 2-4 and 6-8 pm. The
service will be held at the church on Saturday at 4:30 pm with Pastor
Ken Banks officiating. Interment to follow at the Pennfield Rural
Cemetery. Due to Covid 19 protocols, proof of vaccination and masks
will be required to attend both visitation and the funeral service. In
Sheldon’s memory, donation to the Diabetes Association, The NB Heart
& Stroke Foundation or to a charity of the donor’s choice
would be appreciated by the family.
