Marlene Anne Williams

It is with great sadness that the family of Marlene Anne Williams (Burton) announce her passing which occurred at Rocmaura Nursing Home on August 7, 2022. Born September 3, 1938, she was the daughter of the late George and Bertha Burton of Welsford, NB. She was the last surviving sister of her family.  

Prior to her stay at Rocmaura Nursing Home, Marlene was a resident of Seely Lodge in Martinon, NB. She was one to always enjoy visiting with family, a good card game, playing bingo, watching curling and cheering on her beloved Blue Jays. In her earlier years, Marlene enjoyed her work with the Welsford Home and School Association and was a member of the Welsford Women’s Institute. 

Marlene is survived by her children, Cheryl Perrin (Lewis Brown), Robert Burton (Linda), Andrea Burton Johnson (Rod Winters); stepdaughter Barbara Tingley
(Arthur Sr.); cherished grandchildren Tammy, Barry (Megan), Angela, Kelly, Stephen (Annette), Andrew (Amanda), Aric, Noah; step-granddaughter Mandy; great grandchildren Chloe, Cameron, Emily, Jacob, Livia, Nathan; step-great grandson Brady and several special nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Marlene was predeceased by her husband Fred Williams; sisters Grace, Zelda, Gertrude, Marjorie, Irene, Georgina and step-grandson Arthur Tingley Jr.

The family would like to express their thanks and appreciation to Jan, Gary and the Seely Lodge Staff and most recently the staff of Rocmaura Nursing Home (Terrace Court and Hopewell Court). You have all made Marlene’s healthcare journey better by the care and compassion you have shown to her and her family.

Arrangements are entrusted to Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (646-2424). In keeping with Marlene’s wishes, there will be no visitation or funeral service. Interment will be held in the Welsford Valley Cemetery on Wednesday, August 10, 2022, at 1:30 p.m. Following interment, a small reception will be held at The Welsford Fire Hall.

Donations may be made to The Play Park project at the Church of the Resurrection, 20 MacDonald Avenue, Grand Bay, NB or to the Rocmaura Foundation.
