Obituary

Mary Brown
Born: January 4th, 1916 Passed on: October 30th, 2007
Mary K. Brown Amherst - It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 of Mary Katherine Brown. Born January 4,1916. Born in River Hebert, she was the daughter of the late William and Jane (Brine) Melanson. She was also predeceased by her loving husband Tom, and brothers Ralph Melanson, Fred Melanson, Robert (Bob) Melanson and sisters in law Doris (Bishop) Melanson, Irene (Terrio) Melanson, Nora (Fife) Melanson and Alice (LeBlanc) Melanson. She is survived by her sisters Anne Melanson, Stella Doiron (Russell), brother Leon Melanson all from Amherst and brother Allen (Toni) Melanson of Halifax and step daughter Barb Letcher (Amherst) as well as many nieces and nephews who will all deeply miss her. She lived in River Hebert from 1916 - 1945 when the family moved to West Amherst which she called home until 1959 when she married the love of her life Tom. They called Wellington Street home until his death in 1965. After that she shared her home with her treasured sister Anne where they welcomed friends and family to drop by often. Mary especially enjoyed frequent visits from her cherished niece Gail Bourgeois. She also enjoyed quilting, knitting and playing a good game of cards and spending time at the shore. She was a devoted member of the Holy Family Parish, member of the Catholic Women's League (CWL) for 49 years and a Past President. She received the CWL Maple Leaf Award, which is the highest honor given. She was also one of first Eucharistic Ministers, serving from 1970 until recently. Mary also served as a volunteer on the Board of Commissioners for the Housing Authority for five years. She graduated from St. Charles Commercial in 1943 and went to work at Canada Car for a short time before starting her loyal stay at the Amherst Daily News where she worked for 38 years, retiring in 1982 as their office manager. She thoroughly enjoyed her retirement when she could spend more time with her cherished family and friends. She was always making something to feed the welcomed visitors who dropped by and was most famous for her fudge and donuts. But her legacy will be her positive and inspirational attitude in life - always seeing the sunshine in everyone and everyday. Visiting was at Furlong-Jones Funeral Home, 70 Church Street Amherst on Thursday, November 1, from 2 - 4 and 7-9,with prayers at 8:30 pm. Funeral mass was held at Holy Family Parish at the St. Charles site on Friday, November 2, 2007 at 2:00 pm, with Father Vernon Driscoll officiating.

Obituary

Anne R. Melanson
1931-2018
Thefamily of  Anne Melanson is very sad to announce her passing on November 29, at the age of 86.
Born on Christmas Day 1931 in River Hebert, Nova Scotia, Anne was the daughter of the late William and Jane (Brine) Melanson. She was predeceased by her siblings Ralph, Mary, Fred, Leon and Bob, brothers and sisters-in-law Doris, Tom, Irene, Alice, Nora and Russell, and niece Myrna. She is survived by her siblings Allen (Toni) and Stella, as well as many nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly.
Anne lived in River Hebert and West Amherst until 1965, after which she and her beloved sister Mary began sharing a home in Amherst until Mary’s passing in 2007.  The two sisters also shared a cottage at "the shore" in Lorneville, where friends and family were always welcome.
Anne was a passionate lifelong reader, enjoyed music, and would eagerly play cards for hours at a time. Mostly though, she loved to be with family and friends, hearing about everyone’s lives, and reminiscing of days and loved ones gone by.  Her recollection of names, places and dates amazed everyone! She especially loved the frequent visits from her cherished niece Gail. We will always be grateful to Gail and her husband Joey for their support of Anne over the years. 
Anne was a devoted Catholic with deep concern for those less fortunate than her. Anne was a member of the Holy Family Parish, where she was a Lay Eucharistic Minister and a proud choir and CWL member as well as a Sunday School teacher for many years. She served Friday Holy Communion at the Centennial Villa, where her visits were treasured by many residents. Her unending concern for others was exemplified by her membership in the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.  
Anne was a passionate educator, teaching for 34 years. She initially taught in one-room school houses in Warren and West Amherst. She then went on to West Highlands School where she taught for 25 years. It was always with great pride Anne spoke of all her students, most notably some of her own siblings, nieces and nephews.
Anne loved to travel.  She journeyed to many destinations in Europe and North America, often with her best friend Isabel Jackson. Anne spoke often about those trips.  However, no matter how far she went or for how long, she always loved coming home. She and Mary welcomed one and all to their home. Anne got the groceries (and did the dishes) and Mary turned them into home cooked treats made with love. Although Mary got the credit for the best fudge (and donuts) in the world, it was often Anne who stirred the mixture for hours to get it  just right.
Anne’s legacy will be her resilience, positivity, love of family and her deep faith.
We have immense gratitude to the wonderful, and often funny, staff at the Springhill Memorial Hospital. A very special thank you to Dr.Andrea Faryniuk and the staff at the Cumberland Regional Healthcare Centre for their superb and compassionate care.
Anne’s family would like to thank the many medical and homecare workers who cared for her this past year and a half.  It was clear they thought of Anne as family. Their devotion made it possible for Anne to remain in her home as she wished. They are all saints doing God’s work on earth. To the dear caregivers: Muriel, Cheryl, Eleanor, Laura and Glenda, we will never forget the compassion and care you gave to our precious sister and aunt.
