She relocated to Bath NB in 1983 and married Roy Maskell 1987 who she
described as “the light of her life, apple of her eye , knight in
shining armor and thriller of her loins.” Boo was warmly welcomed
by in-laws and community alike. She owned and operated Curio Crafts
,Bath and taught all aspects of crafting. Boo was volunteer director
and coordinator at the Activators Club for Bath and surrounding
areas.
She became mother to Leroy’s beautiful, intelligent and self
sufficient teenagers, who tolerated her sometimes overwhelming and
smothering ways. Even meeting them the first time was memorable. On
entering she heard faint voices coming from the basement ‘please Dad
let us out , please don’t beat us, we promise to be good’. The apples
didn’t fall far. These delightful young women blessed her with 4
grandsons and again she thrived. She will be patiently watching from
afar filled with pride and gratitude.
She thanks Dr. Colin Lockhart for his care and compassion over the
years and to whom she drove to exasperation at times. Dr. Amanda
