Louise "Sarah" Loretta Duncan will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother and cherished grandmother and great-grandmother. There was great sadness amongst her family and friends with news of her passing on Saturday, October 20, 2018 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Her family surrounded her with their presence and love as she valiantly finished her life’s journey.
She was a devoted wife to the late Aldon Douglas Duncan and loving mother to Linda Goss (Mike Wall), Susan Bosence (John), Douglas Duncan (Cindy) and Donald Duncan (Janet), a cherished "Nanny" to her 8 grandchildren, Erin Fullerton (John), Lindsay Shanks (Benjie), Eric Goss (Kathleen), Stephen Goss (Laura), Collin Duncan, Ryan Duncan (Carla), Kristopher Hamilton (Erin), John Luke Bosence and her 15 great-grandchildren. Life began for Louise on August 5, 1934 at Doaktown, NB and she was a daughter of the late Nelson and Ruby (Murphy) Chute. She also leaves behind sisters Priscilla Donnelly and Gloria Dickson (Stafford Nason), a brother Jimmy Miner, sisters-in-law Janet Duncan, Ella Duncan and Barb Duncan, a brother-in-law Robert Duncan and many much-loved nieces, nephews and cousins.
Louise was an amazing homemaker who did everything around the house. Her family was always her top priority and everything in her life centered around those she loved. She was an amazing cook as her family and friends can attest to. She has left a legacy of love and beautiful memories to cherish a lifetime.
It was the expressed wish of Louise that there be no visitation hours. An opportunity to express condolences and comfort the family will take place at St. Peter’s Anglican Church Parish Hall, 2385 Woodstock Road, Fredericton on Thursday, October 25, 2018 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Following the gathering at the Parish Hall, family and friends are asked to gather at the Acton Cemetery for a graveside committal service at 2:00 PM. Rev. Canon Dr. Ross Hebb will officiate.
Special thanks to Rev. Ross Hebb for his comfort and daily prayers, also to Dr. Jeff Barton and the Doctors and Nurses of 3East Palliative Care.
