| Notes |
- Obituary:
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom. Mary Ethel Briggs was born August 2nd, 1931 in Upper Kent. She was the middle child born to Eva and Gordon Saunders. Mary was predeceased by her parents, her husband Eric, her older sister Desta and her husband Ron MacDougall, also a younger sister Louise Stevens.
Mary is survived by a brother Bob (Alta) Saunders and a brother Jack (Dawn) Saunders, and a brother in law Bob Stevens, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Mom and Dad had been married over 66 years when dad passed away in September 2018. They had three children: Brian, Robert and Lisa (Trevor) Johnston. Four grandchildren: Charles and Maggie Briggs, and Michael and Mallory Thomas.
Mary loved children and turned that passion into a teaching career in the NB Education system for over 28 years. One of her first teaching assignments was in Lindsay when she was 18 years old, a one room school house with 40 students in 8 grades. Later she went to teach at Southern Carleton and then finished her career at Centennial Elementary. After retirement she had an opportunity to spend countless hours with her four grandchildren. All of them have great memories of the time spent with Nana on the farm.
Mom and Dad loved to travel and we spent many weekends camping around the province, Maritimes and across Canada. They also visited Florida and enjoyed several trips to Las Vegas.
Visitation will be held at the Carleton Funeral Home, 337 Lockhart Mill Road, Jacksonville NB, on
Tuesday May 11, 2021 from 6 to 8 PM.
Funeral Service will be held on Wednesday May 12th at 3PM from the Carleton Funeral Home Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lindsay Cemetery or a memorial of the donor’s choice.
