McFAWN, PATRICIA "THERESA" EDNA
The passing of Patricia "Theresa" Edna McFawn (nee Allport) occurred suddenly on Tuesday, July 7, 2015. She was born on March 22, 1936 in Minto, New Brunswick.
She began her life journey in Fredericton, New Brunswick and then moved to Alberta in 1969, first to Edmonton and then to Calgary. She was an amazing, strong and caring mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She had a long and successful career as a legal secretary both in Fredericton and Edmonton.
She is survived by three daughters, Cathryn Anne McFawn of Edmonton; Wendy Nora McFawn and Charlene Alyson Poudrier-Smith (David) both of Calgary. She is also survived by her brothers William (Albertine) and Richard (Nancy) Allport of Fredericton, and sisters Violet McFawn (William) of Fredericton, Helen Lefebvre (Phillip) of Rimbey, Alberta, and Deborah Allport (Rejean Arseneau) of Ottawa, Ontario. She was a loving grandmother to Nicholas, Tyler, Erica, Devon, Dillin, Kelly, Kassidy, Jesse, Jordan, Kayla, and Ryan as well as a great-grandmother to Luke and Harlow and a dear Aunt to numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
She is predeceased by her husband Charles Archibald, son Timothy Charles, her brother Charles Edward Allport and her parents Charles and Gwendoline (Townsend) Allport.
At her request a private family celebration will take place in Calgary and a Memorial Service will be held in Fredericton at a later date. Details of this service will be announced once arrangements have been completed.
Her family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the doctors and staff of the Rocky View Hospital for their care and compassion throughout her stay.
For those who wish, remembrances may be made to the donor's local humane society.
