H. Madge Steeves, 95, of Canterbury Hall, Riverview and formerly of Weldon Street, Moncton and Hillsborough Road, Riverview, passed away peacefully at her residence on Thursday, May 19, 2016. Born in Pilley’s Island, NL, she was the daughter of the late Jesse and Mildred (Alcock) Poole. She immigrated to Canada from Newfoundland as a war bride in 1945.

She was a member of the Women’s Missionary Society, a member of the Happy Gang seniors church fellowship group, a former Sunday School teacher, had been a very active Social Committee member, Pioneer Girls leader and member of various boards and committees throughout the years. Her passion was her faith in Jesus Christ, as well as adoring her family.
