G. Marie Roberts
1930-2020
It is with great sadness that the family of Gene Marie
(Bridges) Roberts announces her passing on December 18, 2020, at
Hospice House Fredericton. Born on April 7th, 1930, she was the
daughter of the late Arthur and Ruth (Perley) Bridges.
Marie was a teacher in a few schools around the Fredericton
and Napadogan area. She primarily taught grade 1 students and loved
her career. Also, she was a long-time member of Kings Daughters and
Beta Sigma Phi, as well as a lifelong member of the Brunswick St.
Baptist Church.
She is survived by her daughters, Sue Roberts (Jorge Nunes)
and Mary Roberts (Tim Cunningham) all of Fredericton, NB;
grandchildren, Daniel and Milo Nunes both of Fredericton, NB; sisters
Elaine Sparks (Ken) of Rothesay, NB and Evelyn Briggs of Fredericton,
NB, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Marie was predeceased by her
husband of 54 years, Clive Hayes Roberts.
Marie was a social lady who truly enjoyed time with her
friends and family. She loved when her friends and family
dropped by for a visit and there was always much laughter and
remembrances of happy times during those visits. Her gentle and caring
nature extended to her love of animals as well, a love that she
inherited from her own mother. There was a constant parade
of cats and other animals through the house and she loved and cared
for them all.
A special thank you to all the wonderful staff at Hospice
House Fredericton and the 4NE wing at the Dr. Everett Chalmers
Hospital for their compassionate care of Marie.
A visitation will be held at McAdam’s Funeral Home on Friday,
May 27, 2022, from 2 – 4 pm & 6 – 8 pm. A Memorial Service
will take place at Brunswick Street Baptist Church on Saturday, May
28, 2022, at 2pm with Rev. Greg Geldart officiating. Donations in
Marie’s memory may be made to the Humane Society, Brunswick
St. Baptist Church or Hospice Fredericton.
