It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our
darling E. Lewis Chessie on April 20, 2022 at Thomas Hall, Shannex in
Fredericton at the age of 83. Born in Yoho, NB, he was a son of the
late John and Mabel (Murphy) Chessie. Lewis worked as a salesman for
Mussen’s for the majority of his career. He spent the last
27 years at Kings Landing working in maintenance and with the oxen.
Lewis loved to bowl, play guitar and harmonica, boating and being at
the lake with a bunch of people around. He loved a good joke, loved
being around his family, especially his grandchildren. He will be
missed for his charm, outgoing personality and his beautiful
smile.

children Elizabeth LaHaie (Rene) of Fredericton, William Chessie
(Shelly) of Yoho, Brenda Chessie (Alvin) of Baie St. Anne;

several nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides his parents, Lewis was
also predeceased by his brothers Lorne and Alton Chessie and by a
son-in-law Buddy Wheeler.
