Romona had a blast with her job, working for C-I-L Explosives Ltd for 20 years. She started in August 1965 when the construction of the Mactaquac Dam began and retired when the office closed in 1985. It was a bang-up job! In her later years, Romona loved doing lunch out with her girlfriends from high school, reading and never missed an episode her favorite soap-Days of Our Lives. She also enjoyed her coffee and sour cream glazed doughnuts and drives with her daughter, long telephone chats with Steven and face timing with her family in Ontario and Alberta. Her favourite colour was pink, and she was known to never go anywhere without putting on lipstick first.
The family would like to thank Dr. Paula Carmichael, Dr. Van Middlesworth, the staff at Shannex Thomas Hall, Father Monte Peters, and Sarah Cameron for their kind and compassionate care of Romona.
Bishop’s Funeral Home (458-1885) was entrusted with Romona’s arrangements. Due to current gathering restrictions, there will be no visitation or service at this time. A private family burial will be held at a later date.
For those who wish, memorial contributions in Romona’s name may be made to Fredericton SPCA, Canadian Blood Services, or a charity of donor’s choice.
