George Cleveland O’Blenis ,98, a lifelong resident of
Boundary Creek passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family
, Monday June 19, 2023.
Born in Salisbury West he was a son of the late Harry and
Alberta Mae (Goddard) O’Blenis.
Early in his working life he worked construction including
building of the Cabot Trail and the Gander Airport. Upon returning
home in the 1950’s he proudly opened one of the first White Rose
Service Stations and in 1961 he built O’Blenis Auto Body which his
sons continue to operate. Often found in the shop with a cigar in his
mouth and a paint gun in hand he worked day and night and never really
retired. He always boasted that his best worker was also the love of
his life and partner for over 76 years. A lifelong dedication to the
local Stock Car Sport earned him induction into the Maritime
Motorsport Hall of Fame. George enjoyed hunting and operating heavy
equipment.
Survived and sadly missed by his beloved wife of 76 years
Ruth (Nelson), his children Allan (Brenda), Roy (Sharon), Faye
Saurette (Denis), Nina Jones (Raymond) and Rae, several grandchildren,

held Friday June 23 at 2 p.m. from the Boundary Creek Cemetery with
Rev. Terry Atkinson officiating.
If desired memorials to the Boundary Creek Cemetery or a
