Obituary of Thora Maye Locke

It is with sadness that we announce the death of Thora Maye (Lewis) Locke on September 25, 2019 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born on August 28, 1939 in Plaster Rock NB, she was the daughter of the late Irvine and Muriel Lewis. Thora moved to Fredericton as a teenager and worked as a stenographer for the Department of Labour for several years, then moved to Geary and focused on raising her daughter. She enjoyed crosswords, puzzles, crocheting, hummingbirds and piling wood because it was the one job where you could see the progress you had made. She is survived by her loving daughter, Heather Locke; her brother-in-law, Eddie Locke (Gwen); her close sister-in-law, Linda Nixon (Shirley); nieces, Penny Sue Linders (Rick), Cora Lee Pelletier, Marnie Daigle and Karen Nixon; nephews, Timothy Steeves (Gail), Jonathan Steeves (Ann), Richard Steeves (Sheri), Jason Nixon (Trina) and Troy Nixon. She will also be dearly missed by lifelong friends, Shirley Estabrooks, Patricia Earl, Charlotte Sheppard and Verna Shaw. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by the love of her life, Daniel "Danny" Locke; as well as all of her siblings, Erva Steeves, Shirley Lewis, Peter Lewis and Judith Campbell. A graveside service will be held at the Geary, French Lake, Waterville Cemetery at 12pm noon on October 6th, 2019, open to anyone that wishes to attend. Memorial donations to Thora’s family to assist with expenses would be greatly appreciated.
