SCRIBNER, ROSE MARIE - Rose Marie Scribner of Saint John passed away on August 29, 2012, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Saint John on May 13, 1943, she was a daughter of the late Edgar Joseph and Katherine Elizabeth (Gillieo) McRae. She worked for Ben’s Bakery, demonstrating their products at Atlantic Superstore, and most recently worked at the Chase Senior Home. Rose adored her family; they were her number one priority. She enjoyed birds, flowers, and always had a smile; she always spoke her mind, and always found time for anybody. A wonderful, stubborn lady, Rose was a loving mother to Edgar George Scribner of Saint John and Wendell Joseph Scribner of South Branch, grandmother to Kyle, Evan, Michael, Suzanne and Kurtis, and a great-grandmother to Keira. Rose Marie is also survived by her sisters Francis Guszczewski, Dorothy Rogers, and Joan McRae; all of Saint John, and Irene (John) Jolie of Musquash, as well as her beloved dog, Brandy. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by sisters Josephine Ann Gordon, Evelyn “Dixie” McDonald, brother James Freeman, and brother-in-law, Jim Rogers.
