Elizabethinframe 5

RICHARDSON – Elizabeth Catherine (McLean), age 97, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family, on November 14, 2022 following a short, courageous and very brave battle with cancer.
Born in North Brookfield, Elizabeth was the only daughter of Maude (Freeman-Farncombe) and William P. McLean.
Elizabeth attended Normal School (Nova Scotia Teachers College) in Truro in 1944 and taught school for three years in South Brookfield and Steam Mill Village before entering the Victoria General Hospital School of Nursing in 1947. Upon graduation in 1950 as a registered Nurse, she worked in a number of hospitals in Ontario and Nova Scotia. While nursing at Queens General Hospital, she met her husband Charles.
Elizabeth was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend to all she met. She was an avid reader and Blue Jays fan discussing at great length all plays and players, first with her best friend Mabel Norman and, years later, with the apple of her eye, her beloved granddaughter Kristen.
Elizabeth was an active member of the Brooklyn Baptist Church, being involved in the Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, the Pioneer Club and the Women’s Missionary Society. She was also a member of the Brooklyn Women’s Institute and worked as camp nurse at Long Lake camp for two summers. Elizabeth also volunteered at Queens manor for several years.
Elizabeth is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles; her daughter Cathy (Robert) O’Brien, her granddaughters Kristen, Katelyn and Jerika, grandchildren of her heart Timothy, Brandon and Dominic, daughter-in-law Tammie, nephews Bobby (Christine), Donald (Nadine), and Jimmy (Katrina).
Besides her parents, Elizabeth was predeceased by her sons Philip and Robbie and her brothers Robert and Harry.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool, NS. A graveside memorial service will be held Friday, November 18, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. in Seaside Cemetery, Gardner Road, Brooklyn. A reception will follow in the Brooklyn Baptist Church vestry. No flowers by request, donations may be made to Long Lake Camp or to Queens County VON. Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com.

    Please accept my deepest sympathy on passing of your Mom, Elizabeth. Our two families were so close during our childhood and youth, at Brooklyn Baptist and at Brooklyn School. Then we all grew up and went our separate ways. But, we all knew what each other was up to thanks to our moms’ friendship and their sharing of our stories.
    May God bless your Mom and hold her in their hands.

    Dear Charles, Cathy and family.
    I would like to send my condolences to you all on the departure of Elizabeth from this earth to her eternal home with The Lord. We remember that the Bible says, to be absent from the Body is to be Present with The Lord.
    I remember Elizabeth teaching me in Sunday School as a young child as well as our times at Vacation Bible School. She had a huge impact on many children’s lives as well as mine; and, although some of us departed for a season, the seeds she sowed and watered are now reaping fruit in many of our lives.
    I know after 62 years of marriage Charles and lifetime as your mom Cathy, there will be a huge void in your lives as you adjust to moving forward without her. Just remember, she has joined that great cloud of witnesses that are cheering us on as we await the return of Jesus. that being said, we are to mourn with those that mourn and I am truly sorry for your loss.
    I pray a blessing over each one of you and ask that God will provide for your every need during this time of mourning and celebrating a long life. Amazing really. She was truly a real warrior and one that endured a lot in her lifetime!
    With love and blessings,
    Rhonda Fralic

    Dear Charles, Cathy and family,
    We were saddened to read the obituary for Elizabeth. We have memories of Elizabeth and your family from our time in Brooklyn. We recall how she was a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, serving in the Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and Pioneer Club. Our son, Graeme and our daughter, Andrea, benefited from Elizabeth ‘s investment for the Kingdom of God. We recall.her love for the Lord and for her family. Elizabeth trusted the Lord even when life was difficult.
    We are grateful for the words of the Lord Jesus “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me though they die yet shall they live.” John 11:25 We are remembering you in prayer.

    To Charles, Cathy & family,

    My thoughts are with you during this tremendous loss. Elizabeth was such a special person and it is hard to think she is no longer with us.

    I met Elizabeth when I was a little girl at the Brooklyn Baptist Church. She was my Sunday School teacher and was always so kind. I mentioned once at a church pot luck how much I liked her chocolate brownies, and from then on she always made me a batch when I was in Brooklyn. As I grew up, Elizabeth was there for so many special moments – when I sang my first solo, played my first Christmas concert, went off to university, got married – she was there, cheering me on always. When I became a mom, I brought my little girls to church to meet her. They even got to sample her brownies too, and liked them just as much. To say Elizabeth had a positive influence in my life, is an understatement. Her presence so be so missed, but Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.

    With love,

    Andrea (Cross) Urquhart & family
