Billie Brewer
1945-2022
Billie Walter Brewer, 76, passed away Thursday, February 3,
2022 at the SENB Hospice – Albert House, Moncton after a lengthy
illness. He was born in Montreal to Douglas and Dorothy Brewer but
grew up in Fredericton. He is survived by his wife Roberta,
son Kirk, and cousins Dorothy (Barry), Mimi, and Arda.
During his Fredericton High School years he was involved in
Glee Club and various sports. He was a member of Wilmot United Church
and through them was involved in Scouts earning his Queen Scout
designation. While attending Teachers College, he also joined the
Militia attaining the rank of Second Lieutenant. He later earned a
Bachelor of Education degree from UNB. Bill was involved over the
years with the Big Brother organization, St John Ambulance Brigade,
and the Salisbury Lions Club.
Bill taught for many years at Bessborough School, mainly Math
and Science. He also taught for one year in Fort Churchill Manitoba
and hoped to return one day, but life got in the way. He loved
spending time in the woods hunting, fishing, camping, snowmobiling and
4-wheeling on ATVs and with his Land Rover. He was the proud owner of
a BMW 1000 motorcycle and toured with the Blue Knights for several
years. He and Roberta shared many adventures traveling across Canada
and the United States, first hauling a camper trailer, then on the
motorcycle.
Though his later years were spent closer to home, he
continued to enjoy playing cards, pampering his red Toyota Tundra, and
inventing elaborate games for his family to play on Christmas
morning.
Bill’s family would like to thank all those who helped to
care for him, especially Corinne, who took his grumbling with a grain
of salt, the extramural nurses who looked after him while he was still
at home, and the many care workers at the Albert House Hospice who
brightened his final days with their love and
compassion.
Due to COVID-19, no service will be held at this time.
Graveside service will be held at Pine Hill cemetery, Salisbury at a
later date. Arrangements are in care of the Salisbury Funeral Home
(372-4800). Donations in Bill’s memory can be made to the SENB Hospice
– Albert House or a charity of your choice. Online condolences can be
