Phyllis "Billie" Gaunce

GAUNCE, PHYLLIS E. "BILLIE" R.N.
The family of Phyllis E. “Billie” Gaunce R.N. announce her passing, which occurred at Rocmaura Nursing Home on Wednesday, February 10, 2016. Born in Woodstock on June 18, 1936, she was a daughter of the late Basil and Clara (Purinton) Gaunce.
Billie graduated from Saint John High School in 1954 and went on to study at the Saint John General School of Nursing, graduating in 1957 as a Registered Nurse. She proudly worked as an RN at the Saint John General Hospital and the Saint John Regional Hospital for 40 years before retirement. She stepped into the role of a caretaker for her family at a young age, always helping her mother with her siblings. Billie was a quiet soul, and kept to herself but was always there if you needed her. She showed kindness in many ways, but never asked for anything in return. She loved her dog Grey very much and he was a great companion for her. She loved to camp at Cambridge Narrows, to spend time in her garden, and enjoyed a game of bridge from time to time.
Billie is survived by her siblings, Harry (Glenna) Gaunce; Carolyn Danells; and Fred (Nancy) Gaunce; and many nieces and nephews.
Resting at Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (634-7424) with visitation on Friday, February 12, 2016 from 6 to 9 PM. A memorial service will be held from Brenan’s Chapel on Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 10:00 AM. Interment will take place at a later date.
For those who wish, remembrances in memory of Billie may be placed to the Community Food Basket or a charity of the donor’s choice.
