Mary Irene Lewis
1962-2016
It is with profound sadness that the family of Irene Lewis,
loving wife of Michael Lewis, announces her passing which occurred on
Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital. Irene was born on August 23, 1962 in Newcastle, NB
and was a daughter to the late Albine and Melina (McGraw)
Basque.
It goes without saying, but Irene loved her family. Irene was
a homemaker; she made doing normal things around the house, better for
everyone. She made the most of every moment and lived life to its
fullest. Irene enjoyed her travel adventures with Mike; whether it was
exploring trails in the “buggy” or their annual trips to
Florida or Montreal. She had a special place in her heart for her
grandchildren and it showed through her enthusiasm to babysit, go on
outings to the playground and always making sure she attended every
event. She was a strong, family oriented woman, who, despite having
long standing illnesses, maintained her positivity and carried on
caring for and loving her family. Irene was the rock in her family and
will be deeply missed.
Irene will be lovingly remembered by her family, her husband
Michael, their children: Julia (Peter) Halford and Jacob (Alisha
Harvey) Lewis, her grandchildren: Benjamin, Penelope, Abigail, Eleanor
and Brayden, siblings: Carmal Gough, Ronald, Anthony and David Basque,
brother-in-law Kelly Lewis, sister-in-law Sylvie (Jeff) Fitzgerald
along with many nieces, nephews and members of her extended
family.
Arrangements have been entrusted to
Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint
John (634-7424) where visitation will be held on
Tuesday, December 27 from 2-4 and 6-8. A Mass of Christian Burial will
be held on Wednesday, December 28 at 12 Noon from Our Lady of the
Assumption, 360 Dufferin Row with interment to follow at St.
Joseph’s Cemetery. For those who wish,
remembrances may be made to the Kidney Foundation.
