Obituary:

The death of Anna Kathleen “Kaye” Foster occurred on Monday, January 22, 2018 at the Upper River Valley Hospital. Born September 4, 1930, in Knowlesville, NB, Kaye was the daughter of the late Ira and Nellie (Brown) Corey. In addition to her parents, Kaye was also predeceased by her beloved husband, Paul Foster; their infant daughter, Melanie; and eleven siblings, Erma, Murray, Wilfred, Robert, Alice, Norman, Tom, Claude, Warren, Keith, and Gordon.

Kaye is survived by her three sons, Geoffrey, Kris (Wanda), and Stuart (Trish); five grandchildren, Erin Blaney (Corey), Meredith Graham (Nathaniel), Kate, Cameron (Andrea), and Elizabeth; and two great-grandsons, Kian and Quin Blaney. Kaye is also survived by her brother, Rev. Judson Corey, and sister, Shirley Brooks (Rev. Paul), as well as numerous nieces, nephew, and extended family.

Kaye was born and raised in Knowlesville until the family moved to Juniper in 1945, when Kaye was fifteen. She graduated from Juniper Superior School in 1948 and taught a term at Biggar Ridge School in order to earn money to attend Normal School. Kaye graduated with a teaching degree in 1950 and immediately began teaching at the Juniper School. Kaye loved to reminisce about her adventures teaching grades 1-8 in a one-room school house and was always quick to remind us that she never had to resort to using the strap in her classroom.

Kaye and Paul married in August 1951 and made their home on Pine Street for over sixty years. As Paul established his business, Kaye focused on the task of raising three rambunctious boys. In 1965, once the youngest of the boys entered school, Kaye began crossing the yard every day to work in the office with Paul, where she worked until she retired in 1995.

Kaye was a devoted member of the United Church and was active in the choir and UCW for decades. As well, Kaye was a long-time member of the Eastern Star. As a couple, Paul and Kaye loved to travel and were happiest when entertaining family and friends for potluck dinners, bridge games, or other activities.

Paul and Kaye loved to spend time at their camp on Miramichi Lake and did an equal amount of entertaining while there. As well, they enjoyed spending time in Florida each winter. In both locations, Kaye was most likely to be spotted in the water, as she loved to swim. All of Kaye’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren have wonderful memories of time at the lake.

Visitation will be held from Faith Memorial United Church, 175 Burnham Road, Florenceville-Bristol, on Wednesday, January 24, 2018, from 4-7 pm. A funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 25, 2018, at 2:00 pm from the church, followed by a reception in the Foster Fellowship Hall. Rev. Susan Estabrooks will officiate. Interment will be in the United Church Community Cemetery at a later date.

The family would like to thank Dr. Clay Marco and Dr. Bruce Lockhart for their compassionate care of Kaye during her time in the hospital. As well, we would like to thank the caregivers who provided Kaye with professional yet loving care during her extended stay in the hospital.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Faith Memorial United Church or the Alzheimer’s Society would be much appreciated by the family. www.gibersonfuneraldirectors.ca (506) 392-1115

Obituary:

Margaret Elizabeth Shaw Monroe
EAST WATERBORO - Margaret Elizabeth Shaw Monroe of East Waterboro fell asleep in Christ on July 12, 2016, after a serious fall.
She was born in Middle Simonds, New Brunswick, in November of 1933, the second child of eight born to Alison M. Shaw and Erma E. Corey. Margaret also had seven additional half-brothers and sisters. After completing high school, she attended the Carleton County Vocational School studying office practices. She put these skills to use at the Provincial Department of Health in nearby Fredricton. In 1954, she began studies at the New England School of Theology in Boston Massachusetts. Graduating in 1958, she helped the school move to their new location in Lenox, Mass., where she providentially met an incoming student, William Monroe. They married on June 10, 1961. In the fall of 1963, the newlyweds undertook missionary training with the intention of being sent to India. As that door began to close due to restrictions there, they moved with their newborn son to Bear Point, Nova Scotia, in the fall of 1964 to pastor a church. By then she was the mother of one young son. Shortly after the birth of her second son, she contracted tuberculosis and spent 11 traumatic months in a sanitorium some 200 miles away. The family relocated to Springfield, Vt., in 1970, where Margaret led a children's ministry alongside her husband's pastoral work, which they carried on in their next church in Friendship. In 1991, she became a citizen of the United States.
In every home, whether in Springfield, Friendship, or most recently in East Waterboro, Margaret's passion for gardening was noticed and enjoyed by all. Her creative arrangements often graced the altar of their churches.
Besides gardening, Margaret's main passions were children's ministries, world missions, and devotion to her husband. She was a faithful prayer warrior, often thinking of others and serving them well. Many friends and neighbors enjoyed gifts of garden produce, flowers or baked goods. She was a member of the Goodwins Mill Advent Christian Church and the Women's Home and Foreign Mission Society.
She is survived by her loving husband of 55 years; her children, John (Lydia) of Churchville, N.Y., and Philip (Kim) of Abington, Pa.; four grandchildren, Abigail, Aaron, Samuel, and Jared; all her siblings, Alice Long of Somerville, N.B., Eleanor of Clemmons, N.C., George of Framingham, Mass., Mary Granato of Burlington, ON, John (Jean) of Fredericton, N.B., David (Dorothy) of Vancouver, B.C., Annie Mae Tysick (Dennis) of Kingston, ON; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Friends and relatives may call on Thursday, July 14, 2016, from 5-7 p.m. at the
Dennett, Craig and Pate Funeral Home, 365 Main St., Saco. Services will be held at the Advent Christian Church of Goodwins Mills on Friday, July 15, at 2 p.m., with reception to follow. Graveside service will be held on the following day at 1:30 p.m. at Lakeside Cemetery, Morris, Conn.
