Buckley, Mary “ Bunny” Grace - It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Mary “Bunny” G Buckley wife of the late James E Buckley of Saint John NB on January 22, 2013 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born on December 24, 1936 in Yarmouth, NS, Bunny was the daughter of the late Murray and Florence Rogers. She will be so sadly missed by her son’s Marshall (MaryElla), Scott and daughter Joanne Nadeau (Rob), her much loved grandchildren Adam Buckley, Erin Buckley, and Spencer Nadeau and sister Marion Williams. Also survived by number of nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. Besides her parents and husband Bunny was predeceased by her son Jimmy, sister Ella, father and mothe -in-law Leo and Margaret Buckley, nephew Rollie, as well as a number of brothers and sisters- in-laws
With Mom everything was about her children Jimmy, Marshall, Scott and Joanne. She was our greatest cheerleader, always quick to remind us of how proud she was of every little accomplishment. Those who knew her will remember how often she talked about how smart, beautiful, successful we all were and there was no point disagreeing with her. In her eyes she was right. We always knew how strong her love was from seeing how her broken heart never healed from the loss of her “Little Jimmy.” Mom never missed an opportunity for a kiss or and an I Love You. Once her grandchildren came along it was a whole new level of being proud. She loved and supported them every step in life they made, and life for Mom revolved around the hockey rink, which was always like home for her. It was always a good day for Hockey.
Bunny loved her many summers camping at Wally’s, her walks with her dogs and time spent with her family and friends. After the loss of her husband Jim, she took over his volunteer work at Romero House and enjoyed the past year working with all the wonderful people at Romero House.
Resting at Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road, Saint John (646-2424) with visitations on Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. and Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated from St. Joachim’s Church on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 10 a.m. Interment will follow at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, followed by a reception at the Latimore Lake Community Center.
