It is with saddened hearts that we announce the death of Kathleen Mary Lou Brownell, 76, of Sackville, at the Drew Nursing Home on Friday, July 24, 2015. Mary Lou was a daughter of the late Carl and Hester (Estabrooks) McFee.
Mary Lou had worked at Dewares in Sackville for thirteen years where she enjoyed serving and interacting with her community. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who's entire focus was her family.
She will be dearly missed by her husband of sixty years, Gerald "Jerry" Brownell, Sackville; four daughters, Louise (Christopher) Stillman, Maccan, NS, Christine (Randy) Cunningham, Moncton, Vicki (Murray) Crawford, Ottawa, ON, and Karen (late David) Wipert, Port Richey, Florida; a sister, Barbara (Kenneth) Hachey, Morinville, AB; seven grandchildren, Scott, Mark, Stephen, and Nicholas Cunningham, Rebecca and Peter Crawford, and Morgan Wipert.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by sisters, Euella Knox and Jennie Hicks, a brother Stewart McFee, infant brother, Gordon, as well as her son-in-law, David Wipert.
Over the last couple of years, Mary's health declined with Parkinson's. Despite her failing health, her suffering was eased by the professional compassion and care provided by her extended family at the Drew Nursing Home.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Funeral Home, 70 Bridge Street, Sackville (506-364-1300). As per Mary's wishes, there is to be no visitation or funeral service.
Donations in memory of Mary may be made to the Parkinson's Society or the Children's Wish Foundation.
