Elva Orchard
1925-2016
It is with sadness that the family of Elva Orchard, 91, of
Norton, NB, announces her death which occurred at Embassy Hall,
Quispamsis, NB, on December 28, 2016. Born in Springfield, NB, on June
30, 1925, she was a daughter of the late Herbert and Grace (Gamblin)
Crawford.
Mom graduated from Sussex High School in 1942. Following
graduation she taught school on Snider Mountain, and worked in
Price’s Store where she met her future husband, Bill
Loughery. After losing Dad in 1969, Mom worked at Black’s
Fashions in Sussex, Charm Jewelry Store, and the Sears Outlet at the
Norton Mall. In 1984 we welcomed Ralph Orchard into our family. Mom
and Ralph were married at Lynn’s home in New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia, on October 21, 1984. Ralph loved Mom and we loved
Ralph!
Elva was active in both the United & Baptist Church,
and we attended the United Church in Norton, as a family. She loved to
sit in the sun, enjoy her flowers, trips with Nancy’s Tours,
and trips to Vancouver & the U.K. where Calee showed her all
the sites. Elva cherished her friends, and will be sadly
missed.
Elva is survived by her son Bill Loughery and his wife Calee
of Shediac, NB; sister Elizabeth “Peg” Swan of Old Town, ME;
grandchildren: Rob Loughery and Troy (France) Chamberlain; great
grandchildren Alex and Jake Chamberlain; nieces: Pat, Vicki, Karin,
Sue and Heather; and nephews: Lance, Dougie and Steve. Besides her
parents and Bill, Elva was predeceased by her second husband Ralph
Orchard; infant son Jackie, daughter Lynn Crawford Chamberlain;
sisters Vera Wilson and Una Slumski; and brother Herbie
Crawford.

Norton, NB, where visitation will be held from 12:00 to 2:00 pm, on
Monday, January 2, 2017 with the funeral service following at 2:00 pm.
A private family interment will take place in the spring at Midland
