Mabel graduated from Hampton Consolidated School and went on to attend Modern Business College in Saint John. She worked in numerous businesses in Saint John including, Joseph A. Likely and Scovil's Transfer. Mabel is survived by her loving husband, James A. of over 62 years. She was an exceptionally devoted wife to Jim and Mother to her children, David A.

Mabel was spiritually dedicated to St. Mary & St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church, Forest Hills. She devoted many years to teaching Sunday School and was a long-time member of the Church Choir. Mabel was a member of the Historical Society and was always a source of historical facts for many.
