It is with sadness that we announce the passing of
Edgar Leaman Estabrooks, 84, of
Sackville, NB at the Moncton Hospital on Saturday, May 14,
2022.
Born in Sackville, Edgar was a son of the late George and
Jennie (Jameson) Estabrooks.
Edgar was a coach and referee for minor hockey for
many years but his favourite sport was curling, and in particular his
participation in the Legion Curling Team. He was an avid out doors man
and loved hunting and fishing. He was a Life Member of the
Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 26, Sackville.
Edgar will be dearly missed by his wife of nearly 63
years, Norma (nee Coombs), of Sackville; his children, Kim (Gordon)
Atkinson, Shelley (Russell) Cole, Brent (Lea Vadnais) Estabrooks, of
Lethbridge, AB; seven grandchildren; four great grandchildren, as well
as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Edgar was the last surviving member of his immediate
family; he was one of eighteen children. Besides his parents, he was
also predeceased by an infant grandson, Ryan.
Arrangements are under the care and guidance of
