It is with a sad heart that the family of Ethel Lillian McQuinn announce her passing at Windsor Court Retirement Home on October 19th 2016. Born in Fredericton, she was a daughter of the late Merritt and Mary Emily (Bonnar) Jordan.

One of Ethel’s greatest pleasures was enjoying celebrations and gatherings surrounded by her many grandchildren and great grandchildren. In July of this year, she enjoyed a visit with five generations of family, where she met her first great great granddaughter.

She enjoyed walking in the outdoors, playing cards and bingo and had a secret passion for a fast food burger. Over the years she also enjoyed knitting and was always more than happy to pass along her skills to anyone who wanted to learn. She was born and raised in the Fredericton area and never strayed far from home unless she was travelling to Ontario to spend time with Roy and his family.

Ethel was a long standing member of St Anne’s Christ Church Parish Church.

Ethel is survived by her children; Roy G. McQuinn Jr. (Linda) and Harry J. McQuinn (Barbara), 8 grand children, 9 great grandchildren brother in law Walter Currie as well as several niece’s nephews and cousins.  She was predeceased by her husband Roy McQuinn, 2 children Robert and Sandra as well as 2 sisters, Edith Currie and Alice Thurnheer.

There will be no visitation by request, A graveside service will be held at Forest Hill Cemetery on Thursday October 27th 2016 at 11 AM.
