Therese M. O’Keefe
1920-2017
It is with
profound sadness the family announces the death of Therese M.
O’Keefe on Monday, March 20th, 2017,
at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born on April 15, 1920, she was
the daughter of Joseph and Jeannie (McCaig) Melanson and the beloved
wife of the late John “Jack”
O’Keefe.
Therese was a
graduate of St. Vincent’s High School and valedictorian of
Mount Carmel Academy. She began her career at Wilson Boxes and was an
Executive Secretary for The Multiplex Corporation, The Rocca Group and
retired from The National Harbours Board.
Her devotion
to her Catholic faith was unmatched and she was an active member of
the St. Pius X Parish and CWL. She was also a member of the St.
Joseph’s Auxiliary.
Her greatest
love and joy were her family for which she demonstrated endless pride.
She is survived by her son John (Robyn Lyndsay) of Harvey; daughters
Cathy (Claude Savoie) of Quispamsis and Diane (Douglas Creamer) of
Saint John. She was a loving Nana to Brian and Cara Savoie and Mary
and Jack Creamer. Therese was the devoted sister of Josephine and
Bernadette Melanson both of Saint John; as well as several nieces and
nephews. She was predeceased by her brothers, John and Gerald Melanson
and her sister, Alice Cobham.
