It is with sadness that the family of
Vera Irene (Spence) Allen, wishes to
announce her passing on March 24th, 2018. Born
on September 12, 1923, Vera was the daughter of the late Sylvester
Spence and Leona (Trenholm) Spence. Vera was also predeceased by her
husband, Myers Allen, and her brothers Allan, George, and
Coleman.
Vera was born in Saskatchewan, but lived
most of her life in the Bayfield and Murray Corner area. She spent
many hours in the kitchen preparing meals and baking cookies and pies
that were enjoyed by all, including her grand- children. Vera enjoyed
eating out, shopping, driving her car (fast), reading mysteries and
watching TV, but most of all Vera enjoyed visits by her family and
friends.
Vera will be dearly missed by Betty
(John), George (Patricia), Roger (Joy), her ‘special
sister’ Ruby, 5 grand- children, 3 great grand- children,
nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
The family would like to express their
appreciation to the kind staff of Pine Grove Nursing Home in
Fredericton, where Vera was well cared for over the last 2 years. And
to the nurses and doctors at the DECH in Fredericton who comforted
Vera in her last days.
In keeping with Vera’s wishes,
there will be no visitation. A graveside service will be
held at 11:30 am on Saturday, June 16, 2018 at the Bayfield
Cemetery.
Those wishing to make a donation may do
so to a charity of the donor’s
choice.
Sharing of memories and condolences may
be sent to the family by visiting Vera's online memorial at

Home Facebook Page.
