Carolyn R. Steeves
1950-2023
It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the
unexpected passing of Carolyn Ruth Steeves, 73, on July 5, 2023 at her
home in Elgin, NB.
She and her husband married on August
26th, 1972 and settled in Elgin to raise their
family whom she thought dearly of.
Carolyn was born and raised in Stoney Creek, attended Moncton
High School and entered into the nursing program at the St. John
General graduating as an RN in 1971. She worked in the St. John,
Sus and Moncton hospitals, and retired in 2008.
She and her husband moved to and settled in Elgin to raise
their family. She enjoyed the rural life and loved working outdoors
and tenting/camping.
She faithfully attended the First Elgin Baptist Church where
she played the organ and piano. She enjoyed directing the choir and
conducting the Living Christmas Tree for a number of years. She had a
real passion for Gospel and Country music, and loved to attend and
take part in Country music events in many different
places.
Carolyn’s talents and hobbies were countless. She
loved playing a number of musical instruments, singing, knitting,
cross stitching, quilting, reading and being outside any chance she
could. She was always busy at one project or another, perhaps even
several at a time. She displayed more energy than should rightfully be
given to any one individual. Her love for her family was woven into
every task she did, from knit socks, to cozy quilts, and even
spontaneous deliveries of baked goods. However, she would wish that
her most important legacy that she would leave for her loved ones
would be her love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Carolyn is survived and dearly missed by her loving husband
of 50 years, Donald Steeves; Her sons, Matthew Steeves (Sarah
Scribner) of Elgin, Shane Steeves (Cassey Jones) of Moncton, Luke
Steeves (Sherry Goggin) of Elgin and Adam Steeves (Ela Encinares) of
Montreal; Her Grandchildren, Connor, Cody, Austin, Tiffany, Ethan,
Makayla, Sophie, Ariana, Mayumi and Enola Reven; Brothers and Sisters,
Russell Parker, Paul Parker (Barb), Timothy Parker (Jennifer) and Judi
Parker. Carolyn was predeceased by her father Francis Parker, mother
Audrey Parker Ayer, sister-in-law Brenda and sister-in-law
Nancy.
Visitation will be at the Salisbury Funeral Home, July 9th,
from 6pm-8pm. A service to celebrate Carolyn’s life will be
held at First Elgin Baptist Church on Monday, July
10th at 1pm. Interment will be in New Elgin
Cemetery. Arrangements are in the care of Salisbury Funeral Home
(506-372-4800).
If desired, donations in memory of Carolyn to the Heart and
Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
