Margaret Laura (Shaughnessy) Adams

Margaret L. (Shaughnessy) Adams, loving wife of Rodney F. Adams, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at the Saint John Regional Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Born in Sherbrooke, QC she is the daughter of the late Ashley and Rita (Spry) Shaughnessy.

Marg worked for over 50 years as a hairdresser for various locations, even travelling to Germany on one occasion for continuing education.  Later in her career, a set-back in her health made it challenging for her to work full-time.  She was such a kind and compassionate woman.  She would do anything for anyone. She adored her backyard birds and rarely left the house without binoculars and her bird book in hand.  She had a passion for her cats and her flower gardens and Marg loved to fish, something she and her father did when she was young and that love of fishing helped inspire some great fishing adventures with her husband Rod.  Marg loved to go visiting and they have especially fond memories of Leon and Marilyn’s camp where they picked many of blueberries over the years.    

Marg will be missed dearly by her husband of 46 years, Rodney, her daughter Karen Clark (Shawn); son Shawn (Tracy); grandsons Brady and Noah, whom she loved so very much. They were the light in her eye.  She also leaves behind, her special friends Marilyn and Jane and several extended family members and friends, including her brother-in-law Bill Wright.

In addition to her parents, Marg was predeceased by her only sister Karen Wright
