Maureen J (Young) Buckingham died at Thomas Hall - Shannex on
October 14, 2020 at the age of 85. Among those mourning are Rick
(Kathy) Buckingham of Fredericton, N.B., Chris McCain of Toronto, ON,
Beth (Paul) Baxter of Bedford, N.S.; 11 grandchildren; 4 great
grandchildren; extended family and friends.
Maureen always had a strong bond with her family. She grew up
in a large family in N.S. and loved to spend time with her brothers
and sisters and their families. She encouraged family and friends to
visit and loved to have company over the holidays. Whether it was
Florenceville, Fredericton, Florida or at the camp or cottage, there
was always a gathering.
Maureen and her late husband Clayton ran
Buckingham’s Store together for over 40 years. They loved
curling, golfing, traveling, dog trials and for over 30 years they
wintered at Madeira Beach where they had wonderful friends. Maureen
was an avid bridge player and quite often initiated ‘Happy
Hour’ wherever she went. She had amazing friends in
Fredericton, N.S., Florenceville, along with her dear friends in
Woodstock.
Maureen spent her last five years with her Shannex family and
looked forward to her visitors. She loved to hear old
stories and catch up on the news and she beamed when her grandchildren
dropped in to entertain her. She always appreciated the care she
received at Thomas Hall and spoke very highly of her Shannex
family.
