Maxine M. Hooton

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Maxine Marie (Mullen) Hooton which occurred peacefully at the Saint John Regional Hospital on Saturday, October 5th, 2019.  Born November 4th, 1934, in Berwick, NS, she was the daughter of the late Donald and Mary (Price) Mullen.

Maxine’s life revolved around family, friends, food and music.  She loved her job at Peoples Jewellers, but always loved to help others which drew her to her volunteer work.  She was one of the first volunteers for Birthright (which is now First Steps) and her 14 years on the Alzheimer’s Unit at the Loch Lomond Villa.    

Maxine is survived by her sons Brian Hooton (Debbie) of Saint John, Christopher Hooton (Susan) of Moncton, Ralph Hooton (Michelle) of Saint John; daughters Wendy Woodhouse (Paul) of England, Pam Ross of Australia, Susan Hooton (Terrie) of Saint John, Heidi Garland (Dana) of Rothesay; sister Betty Henry (Duane) of Quispamsis; grandchildren Denise, Andrew, Jason, Ryan, Catherine, Heidi, Angela, Amanda, Kristal, Kyle, Sara, Meaghan, Katie, R.J. and Courtney; many great grandchildren; as well as several nieces, nephews and close friends.  Besides her parents, Maxine was predeceased by her husband Reginald, daughter Heather, brothers Ralph, Howard "Bud" and Edward, granddaughter Kelsie and her precious grandmother Blanch.

A special thank you to LLV Willow House for your kindness, care and compassion.
