Faith Steeves
1927-2017
Faith was a beauty. She grew up playing with her older sister
Sylvia on beautiful Prince Edward Island beaches at St. Peters and
Greenwich, a gift that contributed to her wholesome beauty.
She left PEI with the plan to work her way across Canada to
Vancouver. Her first stop was Moncton where she lived with
her sister Sylvia. Her plans changed when she met
Sylvia’s husband’s best friend, Gordon
Steeves. Gordon and Faith were married August 21,
1948. Faith lived most of her life in Moncton,
working first at Eatons in the office and then as a
homemaker. On May 17, 2013 her family moved her to Vancouver
Island where she could be cared for by her
daughter.
Faith’s achievements are profound: her legacy of
love and her steadfast faith in God. She loved her family
with all her heart and she passed on her faith in
God.
Faith died peacefully with her daughter by her side on May
17, 2017 at Woodgrove Manor, Nanaimo, British Columbia. She
was 90 years old. Thank you to all those who showed
compassion to her during her illness.
Faith was predeceased by her parents Harris and Nora
(MacLean) Arnold, siblings Junior Blair, Ezra, Sylvia and Shirley,
husband Gordon Steeves, special friend Emerson Estabrooks, grandsons
Joshua and Jeremy, and parents-in-law Elbert and Lillian
Steeves. She is survived by sisters Joan and Olga, brother
Harrison, children Kenneth of Riverview, Douglas (Melinda) of Upper
Coverdale and Heather (Tim Lewis) of Nanaimo, and grandchildren Axel,
Sarah, Thomas, and Peter Gordon, as well as nephews and
nieces.
Visiting hours are Thursday, June 29 from 2-4 pm at Fergusons
Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (858-1995).
Friends and family are welcome to celebrate
Faith’s life at a memorial service Friday, June 30, 2017 at
11 am at St. John’s United Church, 75 Alma Street.
Reception will follow in the church hall.
Interment will be at Wesleyan Union Cemetery,

Faith’s life was a blessing. Thanks be
to God.
