Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Janet Elizabeth (Armstrong) MacKenzie at the Saint John Regional Hospital, on November 4, 2022, surrounded by the love of her family. She was born in Saint John to the late Lloyd and Lelya “Sally” (Mullin) Armstrong and was the loving wife of 38 years to her late husband, Raymond, who passed away in 2020.
Janet worked in quality control at T.S Simms Brush Factory for over 38 years and was a very valued employee there. Not everyone can work in the factory setting and labour every day, but Janet did it with pride and a smile on her face. She was a member of many, many organizations, and enjoyed helping others. Janet always had a kind word to say about anyone, a smile on her face, and a naturally humble air to her that made her very endearing to all who had the privilege to meet her. She was a wonderful and caring aunt, who always made sure to remember birthdays and holidays, and special events, and always showed up in any way she could – whether in person, or by sending something to show her love. Janet was thoughtful and kind and a great person to know. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Bye for now, sweet Janet.
She is survived by her loving brothers and sisters, Lee Hansemann, Bonnie Weston, Kenneth Armstrong, and David Armstrong; special nieces and nephews, Lisa (Kris) Houser, Karen Weston, and Michael Weston; great nieces and nephews, Taylor Houser, Michaela Weston, Wyatt Houser and Brandon Weston; Aunt, Marguerite Jones; Uncle, Arnold Armstrong; sister-in-law, Doris MacKenzie; beloved cat, Sammy; as well as many, many friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her brothers-in-law, Robert Hansemann and Gary Weston.
Arrangements are entrusted to Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (646-2424) where visitation will take place on Wednesday from 2-4 & 6-8pm. A funeral service will be held from the Fundy Funeral Home Chapel on Thursday, November 10, 2022 at 10am with a private interment to follow at a later date. For those who wish, memorial donations in Janet’s memory to the charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by her family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Janet Elizabeth Armstrong MacKenzie March 26 1949 November 4 2022 (age 73)..
