Obituary:

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Avis Isabelle Whitehouse at Thomas Hall, Shannex Parkland, Fredericton, on Sunday, January 8, 2017. She was born August 20, 1922, in Mount Pleasant, only daughter of the late Vinal and Olive (Woodcock) Derrah. Avis was predeceased by her husband, Arlie, son, Wayne, and brothers James, George, Charlie, Earl, Ray and Gerald.

Avis is survived by daughter, Darlene Whitehouse-Sheehan, grandchildren, Caroline (Rolly) and Patrick (Sarah), and their father Kevin Sheehan. She is also survived by great grandchildren Elsa, William and Allison who brought much happiness to Grandma Avis, as well as sisters-in-law, Wilma Orser and Sydney Derrah, and many nieces and nephews.

Avis was a devoted wife, mother, and community member. She lived most of her life in Knowlesville where she was an active member of the United Baptist Church and Women’s Institute. Avis was never happier than when she was preparing a big meal for family or friends, working in her garden, square dancing, playing cards or going camping with good friends. She worked on the family farm, side by side with her loving husband, for many years, and later in life for Roy Hemphill and Sons, turning out scores of a variety of brush handles. Avis spent over ten happy years in the Hartland area with family and friends before moving to Fredericton in 2011.

The staff at both Brunswick and Thomas Hall, Shannex Parkland, shared many a laugh with Avis during her five years with them. As they so frequently related, her quick wit and unexpected retorts kept them chuckling. Avis spoke often of the love and kindness staff showed to her.

Arrangements are in the professional care of Britton Funeral Home, 2 High Street, Hartland, from where visitation will be held on Wednesday, January 11th from 4 to 7 pm. The funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 12th at 1:00 pm from the Lorne Britton Memorial Chapel at the Britton Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Greenwood Cemetery at a later date. Donations in Avis’ memory may be made to the Knowlesville Baptist Church, Alzheimer’s Society or to the charity of the donor’s choice.
