Ruth E. Wilbur
It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we announce
the passing of Ruth E. Wilbur of Lakeview Manor and formerly of Sunny
Brae on Sunday, October 29, 2017, surrounded by loving family at the
Moncton Hospital.
Born in Moncton, she was the daughter of
the late Joseph and Martha (Bovard)
Halfpenny.
Ruth retired from Kraft Food Ltd., after
31 years where she had many fond memories. She was a member of St.
Michaels Roman Catholic Church and most recently St. Bernards Roman
Catholic Church, and was a member of the C.W.L. and a member of the
Beausejour Curling Club. Curling was one of her biggest passions along
with regular bridge games, travelling, painting and making her
“Specialty Cakes”. She was known by many for her
wonderful cooking and her many
recipes.
Ruth will be greatly missed by her
granddaughter, Kerri Wilbur (Buck Graham); and great granddaughter,
Kristina Wilbur who were the apples of her eye; great great grandson
Jaxson; as well as her daughter in law Maureen Wilbur; brother in law,
Gregory Wilbur; sisters in law, Geraldine Gautreau (Freddie), Taddy
Hopper (the late Roy) and Pauline Cormier (Bernie); her nieces, Shary
(Poirier) Jones and Michelle Poirier and nephew Rick Poirier and their
father Roger Poirier.
In addition to her parents, she was
predeceased by her husband Ronald Wilbur (1958), her two sons, Allan
J. Wilbur (1995) and James “Jim” W. Halfpenny
(2017); brother, Lorne Halfpenny; and sister Ruthie Poirier
(2009).
The family would like to extend a sincere
“Thank You” to the staff at Lakeview Manor as well
as the nurses and doctors at the Moncton Hospital for the excellent
care given to Ruth.
