Elaine Jean Gray (nee Connery)
1939 - 2011
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Elaine Gray on August 23rd at the Intensive Care Unit of the Moncton Hospital with her loving family at her side.
Born in Renfrew, Ontario, Elaine is the daughter of the Late William and Evelyn Connery.
She will be dearly missed by her beloved and devoted husband Bob Gray. She is the loving mother of Catherine Jane (Derrick Acton) of Sackville and Kristi Lynn (Neal Welling) of Shediac Cape; cherished grandmother of Lindsay and Laine Acton and proud aunt to Megan, Jon, Lynn, Jay, Paul and Philip. She was predeceased by an older sister, Shirley Sheridan and her husband, Gerald, of North Carolina; and survived by a brother, Dr. Mervin Connery and wife, Ann of Napanee; and a younger sister, Lynn Whiteley and her husband Skip of Whitby, Ontario.
A graduate of Renfrew Collegiate and Ottawa Teachers’ College, Elaine was a teacher with the Ottawa School Board and subsequently, the Etobicoke Board of Education. She loved being a primary school teacher, but better still, being a mother to her two young daughters. She will be remembered for her sense of humour, love of family gatherings and the simple pleasures of everyday life!
Cremation has taken place under the care and supervision of the Jones Funeral Home, Sackville, NB (506-364-1300). A memorial service will be held at Sackville United Church on Saturday, August 27th at 11 AM with Rev. John Perkin officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Elaine may be made to the Friends of the Moncton Hospital, the Sackville United Church or a charity of your choice.
