It is with deep sadness that we announce
the peaceful passing of Everett James Shea, age 74, of
Middleton. After a brief battle with Cancer, Everett passed
away at the Sackville Memorial Hospital on Friday, March 25,
2016.
Born in Upper Dorchester, NB, he was a
son of the late Russell "Bus" and Osithe "Rosie"
(Dupuis) Shea.
He worked for the department of
Transportation in Dorchester, Memramcook and Sackville as a heavy
equipment operator, before retiring to enjoy life in Woodhurst and at
his cottage at Upper Cape. He loved time on his ATV with all
the neighborhood dogs. He was always willing to share a
drink of rum, or a beer with family and friends. A loving
and devoted grandfather to Jake and Alex, he attended all their
sporting events, at home or away, and loved to tease them about the
outcomes of each game.
He will be dearly missed by his wife
Debbie; daughters Vicki Shea (Jim Cormier), Kelly (Chris) Purdy, all
of Middleton; grandchildren Jake and Alex; step granddaughter Jamie
Cormier; brother, Charles, Moncton; 3 sisters, Alice (Wayne) Crossman,
Winnipeg, MB, Margaret Milton, Edmonton, AB, Catherine Shea,
Dorchester; sisters-in-law Claudette Shea, Dorchester and Rita Shea,
Memramcook; several nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles and one special
furry son Woody.
He was predeceased by brothers, Larry,
Joseph and Ronald and sister, Sister Theresa.
Cremation has taken place under the care
and direction of Jones Funeral Home, Sackville, NB
(506-364-1300). There will be no visitation or funeral
service.
