Shediac; George Thomas
It is with broken hearts the daughters of George Shediac of Beach Meadows, wish to announce his peaceful passing on Wednesday, May 15, 2019 at home in his old chair, just the way he wanted.
Born on January 12, 1948, George was a son of the late George Thomas and Mabel (Burns) Shediac.
When George was young, he left home and headed for Toronto where he worked for many years at Achme Paper. While there, he met the love of his life, Sadie Sarah Stanford. In 1968, George and Sadie married in Beach Meadows and returned to Toronto to start their family. In 1974, George and Sadie, along with their daughters, Tina and Corrina moved home to Nova Scotia and George began his other career at Michelin Tire, Bridgewater. After 31 years of service, George retired. Our dad loved the outdoors where he hunted and fished and planted huge gardens every year. George’s favorite thing to do was to pack a huge luch and go partridge hunting with Sadie. George lobster fished with his father for many years. He truly loved being on the water. Dad loved woodworking, building tables, coffee tables, foot stools, desks; you wanted it, dad built it! His favorite wood of choice was oak.
George is survived by his daughter Tina Zwicker (Corey Conrad), grandson Stephen Wamboldt (Aislyn MacFarlane), granddaughter Samantha Wamboldt, great-grandchildren Link, Justyce, and alexia. His daughter Corrina Shediac (Rick Madden), grandchildren Mackenzie Shediac (Vicky Wentzell), granddaughter Abigail (Shane) Ives, great-grandchildren Dillon, Tyler, Eathan and Ashley. Sister Peggy (Gary) Whynot, his “Buddy” and companion Marilyn Winters. His son-in-law Don Zwicker.
In addition to both his parents, George was predeceased by by his loving wife of 47 years, Sadie (Stanford) who passed away on November 14, 2015. They are together again. He was also predeceased by his sister Paulette Wamboldt, great-granddaughter Lyric Sadie Wamboldt and great-grandson Loki Wamboldt.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. A memory celebration of George’s life will be held Saturday, May 18, 2019 from 2 until 4 p.m. in Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool. Burial of both George and his beloved wife, Sadie, will take place in Emmanuel United Cemetery, Beach Meadows. Family flowers only, donations may be made to Relay For Life where Sadie and George both attended as survivors as well as their daughter Corrina and Tina, who will continue to dedicate her time to honour both of their memories. http://bndfr.com/XbcYP Online condolences may be made to www.chandlersfuneral.com.
Tina and Corrina would like to thank Dr. Gary Ernest for his care and the V.O.N. who made weekly visits. Most of all they would like to thank his companion, Marilyn, for all the love, care and compassion she has given our dad for the past two years. The bond they had was a special one. We are so grateful our Dad had her in his life.

Something George might say…
“Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve now found peace at the end of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don’t lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free”

George and Sadie, back together, Safe in God’s arms!

Chris & Dawn Whynot
The day God called you home
God looked around his garden
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw that the road was getting rough.
And the hills are hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered “Peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
That day that God called you home
Jim and Sandi
Tina and Corrine

I write this with such a heavy heart so I can only imagine the pain that you are in Mom (Peggy), Tina and Corrina and family and of course Marilyn. It seems like yesterday that we had this large loving family. It has been 29 years since I lived home so every time I come home I still feel like I will have everyone come visit. Sorry I have missed so much. You will be in my heart and thoughts today and always.

Tina, Corinna and family,
We are very sorry to hear of George’s passing. I dont think i can remember not knowing George and Sadie, from stopping in on my bicycle, community events, lobstering etc. I have always known him as “young George” to distinguish between him and his father “old George” lol. Always the great thing about a small community, but unfortunately just got a little smaller. Please accept our condolences RIP young George
John Murphy
So sorry for your loss. George was a great guy and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I first met George at Michelin as I was a shy new hire and he made sure I was looked after, never forgot his kindness and pass it forward everyday. He always had a smile and a laugh you could hear in the next room. R.I.P. my friend.

Please accept our heartfelt condolence from the Chandler Family in B.C. George was especially thought of by my late husband Walter as the boys grew up together and had great times as children. In later times when we were back to Beach Meadows visiting the in laws we always visited with George and Sadie for a catch up. Will always have fond memories of George as well as Sadie.
Larry and Tanya Greek
To Tina and all of George’s family.
I was 19 years old when I met George, fresh out of school and starting at Michelin. I was put on his crew and paired up with him from time to time to cross train in the curing shop. Although that seems like an eternity ago , I do not forget the good times, the fun times carrying on and the good talks he and I had. He taught, he was patient and he made me feel like one of the gang, when I was the youngest of the bunch. He made this young kid feel at home in a world that was intimidating and overwhelming, and I always appreciated that. Happy, outgoing ,always willing and helpful, and a friend is how I will remember George. He was pretty cool guy! Our condolences to all of you.
donald himmelman

My best to you both.
