John Jacob Corey, a life-long resident of
Butternut Ridge (Havelock), N.B., passed away February 12, 2017 at the
Jordan Lifecare Centre, The Glades, N.B.
Born March 31, 1933, he was the son of Roy Manford

He was predeceased by his sister Frances D. Corey
(1932-2009).
John was an artist, an art teacher and a director
of the UNB Art Centre. He studied at the Art Students League of New
York. He was a consultant on New Brunswick heritage and the
restoration of historic properties for the province and in the private
sector. His interest in, and promotion of textiles was an important
contribution to the history of the art of quilting in New
Brunswick.
John travelled extensively on this continent and
in Europe. During the summer months, he was devoted to his passion for
gardening and he welcomed friends and visitors to his extensive flower
and vegetable gardens.
Sincere appreciation is extended to the staff of the Jordan
Lifecare Centre and to the numerous friends who visited John during
his illness.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Salisbury

service will be scheduled at a later date.
