MALONEY, ANNE MARIE - It is with great sadness the family of Anne Marie Maloney announces her passing on Friday, July 29, 2011 from Bobby's Hope House after a brave battle with cancer. Anne Marie was a stoic and selfless woman - loved by all who were fortunate to know her. Humble, sweet and devoted, she always put others before herself, especially her husband and her children. Born March 10, 1932 in Saint John, NB, she was a daughter of the late Oswald and Muriel (Whelpley) Leger.

Anne Marie was pre-deceased by son-in-law Brian Lund. Anne Marie attended St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Grand Bay and was a choir member for over fifteen years. She was also actively involved in Cursillo-Marriage Encounter. She was a graduate of St. Vincent's Girls' High School and Mt. St. Bernard Secretarial School in Antigonish, N.S. (St FX).
