Obituary of Mary Catherine Jenkins

Mary Catherine (Moran) Jenkins, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed on surrounded by love on July 17, 2019. She was born in Victoria, BC, but considered Ottawa, ON home. In her childhood and youth she lived in many countries around the world, ultimately making a home in Fredericton/Oromocto, NB. She loved history, stories, and movies; which tied in with her career of working in libraries, first with the federal government and later at the UNB Law Library. She was a wonderful and beloved mother to Mila (Joe) of Oromocto, David (Jessi) of Lakeville Corner, and Matthew (Vien) of Toronto, and proud Grammy to Hazel, Ivy, Ira, Gabriel, Henry, and Aaron. Predeceased by her loving parents Michael Harold and Catherine Sarah Moran. She will be remembered by her big brother Michael (Jocelyne) of Ottawa, 2 nieces and grandnieces of Ottawa, and as a treasured companion to long-time friends. Honouring her wishes, she is being cremated and family will honour Mary’s life in private this summer. Her children and grandchildren will celebrate her life, acknowledge her strength and the sacrifices she made, and remember all the love she had and shared. Special thanks are expressed to the team of Med 1 at the Oromocto Public Hospital for their care and compassion. Arrangements entrusted to Hogg Funeral & Cremation Services. As expressions of sympathy, donations to her living memory would be appreciated.
