ESTHER GERTRUDE (COMEAU) FEARON
(June 2, 1931 – March 23, 2024)
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother on March 23, 2024, at the Moncton Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Mum was born to Adolphe and Beatrice Comeau on June 2nd, 1931, in Port Elgin, New Brunswick, and was the youngest of nine sisters. She was the wife of the late Austin Fearon (2015).
After finishing High School at NDSC Convent in Memramcook, Mum attended Nursing School in Bathurst with her sister, Albertine. She worked for a brief period in Lameque after which her nursing career continued in Moncton for many years.
Esther married the love of her life, Austin Fearon, on November 28, 1953. They had four children. Dad worked shiftwork with Eastern Provincial Airways, and Mum eventually gave up her career as a nurse to look after four very active kids. That presented her with an ‘interesting’ challenge, but she rose to the occasion, and we all think she did a pretty darn good job!
Mum was a Crossword Whiz and had a remarkable ability to solve the very difficult Saturday editions of The New York Times. In her younger years she enjoyed dancing, bowling, and playing cards with Dad and their many friends.
Her real passion was travelling. She visited some of the South Pacific Islands, much of Europe, the US and Canada. Given that she came from a large family of sisters, many of whom were musically inclined, she would always look forward to our annual family reunions at our Aunt Ola and Uncle Jim’s home in Port Elgin. We would join Granny and our numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and family friends for many great times and incredible memories.
Along with her parents and her husband Austin, Mum was predeceased by seven of her sisters and her youngest child, Lisa 2021 (Ted Ehrhardt). Mum is survived by her sister, Albertine, her children Bill (Jamie-Lynn), Mary Fearon-Keys (David) and David (Monique). She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren Jaimie, Kelsey, Kaelan, Janelle, Rory, Shawn, and Julie, as well as her 15 great grandchildren all of whom she loved and talked about so often. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
It is difficult to put into words our gratitude for the professional care Mum received from Dr. Babin and the incredible staff at the Moncton Hospital and Palliative Care Unit. Also, we give special thanks to Father Charles Broderick of St. Bernard’s Church for the spiritual guidance and support he provided to Mum. And we are so appreciative for the on-going assistance and care she received from numerous staff members at Peoples Park Tower while she lived there. We are grateful to all.
Visitation will be held from Passage Funeral Cooperative, 625 Mountain Road, Moncton,NB, E1C 2P1, 506-857-1901, on Monday, April 15, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. Funeral Service will be held directly following at 2:00 pm. For those who wish, donations may be made to Birthright, Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church or donation of donor’s choice.
