Janis (Murray) Munroe
It is with great sadness that we
announce the passing of Janis Lynn Munroe, age 75, of New Maryland,
New Brunswick, on December 31, 2023 surrounded by the love of her
family at the Doctor Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital after a short,
courageous battle with cancer. Born in Campbellton, New
Brunswick, she was the daughter of the late Richard and Etta
(Thompson) Murray.
Janis married the love of her life,
Mannie, on May 16, 1970 and their lifetime of adventure, laughter and
unending love began. She was a proud RCMP wife and would
greet each new posting they had with a smile. No matter
where they were living, Janis always formed meaningful friendships
that would stand forever. Together, she and Mannie lived in
Moncton, Chipman, Salisbury, Grand Falls, Bathurst and finally
settling in New Maryland after Mannie’s
retirement. They enjoyed finding the travel bug together
which lead to many trips to California, Las Vegas, Disney World,
cruising the Panama Canal, the Caribbean Islands and
Europe.
Janis was a proud and devoted mother
to Kevin & Keri, the loves of her life. She always
took an active role in each of their lives no matter how close or far
away they were. Her kids could always count on their mom to
be there for them. Janis’ greatest moment was when
she became a Nannie to Alexandra, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Anna and
James. The sparkle in her eye and joy in her heart was
immeasurable!
Janis worked as a Legal Assistant and
took great pride in her work and was very meticulous. Most
people were shocked at her ability to use shorthand, type with
incredible speed and they were amazed at her dedication to perfection
in her employment. She formed many long-lasting bonds with
everyone she worked with.
Janis’ interests in life
included many activities – an avid bowler, cross-country skier, and
down-hill skier until she realized that with age, bones
don’t bounce. She loved ceramics, crafts, playing
her daily word games, cards, gardening and just being in the company
of good friends.
Janis’ favourite place was
anywhere her family was. She would often love to take
“drives to nowhere”, to sit and people watch but mostly just
sit in the peace of the outdoors and watch the clouds. She
would always say “what do you see in the clouds
today?”
Janis is survived by her loving
husband Mannie Munroe; her children Kevin (Mignonne) Munroe and Keri
(Chris) O’Leary; sisters Nancy (Ralph) Smith and Kathy
(Allan) Murray; brother Colin Murray; her grand-children Alexandra,
Nathaniel and James Munroe, Elizabeth and Anna O’Leary, and
Meghan Applegate; her great-grandson Ian Applegate; many
nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and so many loving
friends.
The family would like to thank Dr.
Kyle Gillis, Dr. Sheldon Wood, Dr. Luisa Galvis, Dr. Cameron and the
team of Palliative Care Doctors and Nurses on 3 East at the Doctor
Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital, the Extra-Mural Respiratory
Therapists and Dieticians for their kindness and
support.
Cremation has taken place. A
Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, January 13, 2024 from
2:00 – 4:00pm at Bishop’s Funeral Home. A private
family internment will take place at Pioneer Gardens in
Oromocto, NB at a later date.
Donations in Janis’ memory
can be made to the Fredericton Food Bank or a charity of your
choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to
Bishop’s Funeral Home.
