Marilyn Joanalda Jarvis (Crocker), 90, of Moncton,
passed away peacefully with her loving family by her
side.
Marilyn was born to the late Helen Crocker (Somerville) and
Jack Crocker of Moncton. She was married to her high school
sweetheart and love of her life, the late Bill Jarvis, for 68
years. She is predeceased by her siblings Shirley Carlson,
Betty Lumsden and James Crocker.
Marilyn will be dearly missed by her loving children: four
daughters: Patty McMurray (David) of Riverview, Judy Belliveau (Frank)
of Moncton, Susan Savoie (aka Suzanne) (Frank) of Riverview, Jennifer
McBeath-Dooley (Bill) of Moncton; five sons: William Jr. of Ontario,
Robert (Kathy) of Regina, Ted (Kath) of ON, Jeff of Moncton and Jamie
(Jennifer) of Saint John. Fondly remembered by her nieces
and nephews, June, Cathy, Sandra, Janet, Matthew and Robert. She will
be affectionately remembered as “Nanny J”
by twenty one grandchildren; nineteen great grandchildren
and two great, great grandchildren.
Marilyn was a proud Moncton High Purple Knight from the class
of ’50. She went on to become a RNA and turned her
sights toward management of the Moncton Hospital Housekeeping
Services, the Hotel Beausejour Housekeeping Department, and the Head
of Housekeeping at Centracare, in Saint John. Marilyn was
also a teacher of Life Skills at NBCC. Her wisdom and sound
advice positively impacted the lives of many.
Marilyn was gifted with many talents; including her ability
to play the piano and cello, quilting, knitting, sewing, painting, and
fly-tying. She enjoyed countless hours reading and attending
her beloved book club where she was never afraid to voice her
opinions. Mom could complete the New York Times crossword in
pen with few scratches; a feat many have envied. Mom’s love
and affection for her dogs was unmeasurable. But Mom was never happier
than when she was cutting up the dance floor with Dad or fishing with
him on the Miramichi River; these love birds could be spotted
portaging their canoe as they searched for the perfect spot to cast
their lines.
Mom, we will remember you for your wit, your dry sense of
humour, political opinions, your ceaseless creativity, and your
cherished wisdom.
Indeed, Marilyn (Mavis) will be remembered for the way she
loved each of us; uniquely and deeply.
Thank you to the staff and volunteers at Spencer’s
Home. Mom and Dad received wonderful care; we appreciate
you.
In mom’s memory, a donation to Moncton Headstart or
the Moncton SPCA would be appreciated.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Marilyn Joanalda Jarvis Crocker 1932 2022..
