DEVARENNES, MARY JOSEPHINE PATRICIA - Mary DeVarennes, 92, of Moncton, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at the ProTem Health Services. Born on January 26, 1920 in Devon York, she was the daughter of the late Edgar and Caroline Carney. Mary was a registered nurse at the Moncton Hospital before retiring to raise her family and a member of the Saint Augustine’s Catholic Church. She had a very strong belief in her religion. She demonstrated this faith by attending mass and teaching catechism for many years. Having volunteered many hours at the St. Vincent-de-Paul Society in her earlier years, Mary was a kind and generous woman who believed in helping those in need. She gave to many charities, Society of Propagation of Faith, United Way, Canadian Feed the Children and Missing Children to name a few. Mary has gone home to be with God and her loving husband of 59 years, Gerald “Jude” and her sister, Helen Hickey. She will be sadly missed by her son, Ronald; her two daughters: Caroline and Rosemarie (Robert), all of Moncton; three grandchildren: Tanya (Gilles), Ryan and Joey (Susie); two great-grandchildren: Chad and Jeffrey; many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank ProTem for the love, thoughtfulness and kindness that you showed Mary. The staff members are all God’s angels.
