Obituary:

It is with great sadness that the family of Terri Lee Kearney announces her passing after a very courageous battle with cancer on Saturday, December 7, 2013 at the Dr. George Dumont Hospital, Moncton. Terri was born January 15, 1953 in Perth Andover, NB. She was the only child of Frank Esmond Kearney and Eleanor Nina (Maskell) Kearney.

She graduated from Bath Regional High School in 1971 and went on to Teachers College in Fredericton, graduating in 1973. Her first teaching position at twenty years of age was at Florenceville Elementary School. She transferred to Bath Elementary for a few years and then finished her career in Florenceville from which after 32 years she retired in 2006. After retiring she continued volunteering at both the Florenceville and Bath Schools and also tutored several students at home.

Terri was also very involved at her church where she served in many different capacities. All of her family including her church and school families were very important to Terri.

Over the years Terri spent a lot of time in the Hospital. Although she faced many physical challenges during her lifetime she never complained or asked for any accommodations.

Terri will be missed by all who knew her. Her passing will leave a large void in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her and having her in their lives

Terri is survived by her mother, Eleanor, 2 aunts, Edith Hillman and Leola Kearney; numerous cousins from the Maskell and Kearney families that loved her dearly. Predeceased by her father Frank.

Visitation will be held from L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors, 207 Burnham Rd. Florenceville-Bristol on Tuesday, December 10, 2013 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm.

Obituary:

It is with sadness but also with joy in our hearts that the Lord has taken our Aunt Eleanor at the age of 95, to be with her loved ones in Heaven. She passed away at the Riverview Manor in Bath on August 4th, 2022. She was born Eleanor Nina Maskell on May 4th, 1927.

She has lived in Beechwood for most of her life. She loved telling stories of her youth with her mother and her brothers whom she loved dearly. Even in her later years she would tell stories of her young years living beside Maskell Brook. She said that like most people of those days , they never had a lot to eat, regularly stepped onto a cold floor on the winter mornings but nobody seemed to ever complain. When she finished high school in Bath , she taught school for a little while up in the Kilburn area. She even got a job in Deer Island cleaning fish with her sister in Laws.

She fell in love and married Frank Kearney on April 19,1947. Their only daughter, Terri was born on Jan 15th, 1953. Anybody that ever met Terri will know what we mean when we say that She and her mother were a very special team . Terri never married and she and Eleanor lived together in the family home until Terri’s passing. Frank and Eleanor built a home in Beechwood up beside Franks brother, Holland in 1961. That is where Eleanor lived until she went to the manor in September of 2021.

Her mother , Gussie , moved in with them shortly after and that became the meeting place for all her brothers and uncles and aunts and cousins over the years. Everyone was welcome and everyone was fed very well.

Eleanor is survived by her sister in law, Edith Hillman of Woodstock, ON as well and many nieces and nephews that loved her dearly.

Eleanor was predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Gussie (Broad) Maskell, her husband Frank , her daughter Terri, and her brothers Howard, Percy, Ted and her youngest brother Charles.

There will be a funeral service at the Beechwood Baptist Church on Sunday, August 7, 2022 at 1:00 pm. Rev. Dan Ryan will officiate. The funeral service will be livestreamed on the Beecwood Baptist Church FaceBook Page. The internment service will be held in the Wharton Cemetery, Upper Kent. For those who wish donations made to the Beechwood Baptist Church or the Wharton Cemetery would be appreciated.

L.R. Giberson Funeral Directors are entrusted with the arrangements. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca (506) 392-1115
