The family of Geraldine
Matilda (Chesser) Grey sadly announces her passing on July 3, 2017 at
the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital after her courageous battle
against cancer. Geraldine was born in Mann’s
Mountain, Restigouche County, N.B. on December 9, 1935. She was
predeceased by her loving husband Bernus Norman Grey, her parents Jean
(Gillis) and Gerald Chesser, and her sister Janice (Stillman)
Firth.
Geraldine graduated from Our
Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy in Dalhousie, N.B. in 1952. She then
enrolled in the New Brunswick Teacher’s College, graduating
in 1953. After teaching for a few years, she stayed at home
12 years with her much loved children. She cherished her
years teaching at Keswick Ridge School and at Connaught St. School.
During her career, she continued her education and graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts degree from Saint Thomas University in 1987.
She and Bernus enjoyed camping with
their family. After a few trips throughout Canada and the
U.S., they found home to be their most treasured place. As
well as family and career, Geraldine loved crafts, especially
knitting, sewing and quilting, through which she made many dear
friends.
Geraldine is survived by four
children: Nancy (Brad) Nickerson, Richard Grey, Lewis (Janet) Grey,
and Linda Grey (Jean-Marc Simard). Her 12 grandchildren
include Michael (Carly) Nickerson, Sonya (Jeremy) Burrill, Jarett
(Madeleine) Nickerson; Keara, Connor, Ronan and Ethan Grey; Corey,
Jason and Brittany Grey; Michelle and Marissa Simard. She
loved her nine great grandchildren, and will be deeply missed by her
sister Judy (Robert) Allen of Cochrane, Alberta. Geraldine is
also survived by her brother-in-law Raymond Galloway of Fredericton
and many nieces and
nephews.
Visitation will take place at Bishop’s
Funeral Home, 540 Woodstock Road, Fredericton, N.B. on Friday, July 7,
2017 from 5 to 8 p.m. followed by a funeral service in the same
location on Saturday, July 8 at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Ralph Irving
officiating. There will be a reception at Bishop’s
Funeral Home following the service, with interment following at the
Scotch Settlement
Cemetery.
The family appreciates
the ongoing support and kindness shown by friends, family and
neighbours. The family would like to extend special thanks
for the care, compassion and guidance of Dr. Lauren Wiley (family
physician) and associates; Dr. Morgan Langille and Dr. Amanda Caissie
at the Saint John Regional Hospital; Dr. Debra Gowan and the team at
the Palliative Care Unit of the DECH; and the staff of the N.B. Extra
Mural Program. The family is comforted by the guidance of
Bishop’s Funeral Home, especially Charles Meade, in this
time of need and sorrow. In lieu of flowers, donations in
Geraldine’s memory may be made to the Central Branch New
Brunswick Society of Retired Teachers Scholarship Fund or the charity
of the donor’s choice. Personal condolences may be
