It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing
of Joanne McKee, 86, at the Moncton Residence, on July 29, 2024. Born
in Bouctouche, she was the daughter of the late Killeen McKee and the
late Juliette (Michaud) McKee.
Following her studies at Mount Saint Vincent Academy, Joanne
became a nun in the Sisters of Charity congregation in Halifax, with
whom she taught in the United States, Québec and Bathurst.
Laicized to care for her ailing parents, she had a long career as an
immersion teacher at Moncton’s Birchmount School.
She is survived by her sister, Isabelle McKee (Greg Allain);
her brothers: the honorable Michael McKee (Winnie) and Paul (Louise);
her nephews and nieces for whom «Ma tante Nan» was
very special: Mélanie Allain (Peter Colbey), Patrick McKee
(Alicia Melanson), Dr. Dominic Allain (Denise Capito), Lisa Cormier
(Samuel), Sean McKee (Lucie Roy), Sheila Johnston (Ryan), and Rob
McKee (Tara), and their children: Cloé-Lin, Maele, Ella,
Chas, Michael, Dax, Halle, Anna, and Matéo.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by two sisters:
Marguerite (1978) and infant Jacqueline; one brother, Reverend Peter
McKee (2006); and one nephew, Kevin (2020).
Joanne was a committed volunteer, contributing to a variety
of causes through her many sewing and knitting projects, such as
tuques and mittens distributed to schools, and individual Christmas
decorations for hospital patients. An independent woman who was both
generous and critical of certain issues with strong opinions, and an
ardent fan of the Montreal Canadiens and Blue Jays, Joanne benefited
from many of Brother Walter Comeau’s travels. She is survived by many
friends.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and
Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Friday
August 2 from 2 to 3:45 pm, followed by the funeral service at 4 pm.
Interment will be in Bouctouche. In lieu of flowers, a contribution
may be made to the Centre communautaire Peter McKee Community Food
Centre, the Fondation Kevin P. McKee Foundation, the New Brunswick
Coalition for Pay Equity, or a charity of the donor’s
choice.
