Obituary of Lester James Brown

It is with sad hearts that the family announce the passing of Lester James Brown on Thursday, June 4, 2020 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital, Fredericton, NB. Born on September 26, 1935, he was the son of the late Aird and Annie (Carr) Brown. Lester loved his family dearly. He will be missed by his wife of 64 years, Myrtle (Stennick) Brown; children Karen Clouston (Norman), Marilyn Owens (Leo), and Daniel Brown (Crystal); grandchildren Stacey Thibault (Carl), Sherry Jonah (Colton), Lindsey Clouston (Drew), Jason Owens (Krista), and Emily Owens; great grandchildren Noah, Luke, Connor, Charlotte, Mitchell, Ava, and Jameson; sister Grace Boone (Don) as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. An avid outdoorsman, Lester passed on his love of fishing, hunting, camping, snowmobiling, and gardening to his children. He also enjoyed helping Myrtle with quilting and knitting. He was a member of the Oromocto River Valley Snowmobile Club, an active supporter of the Geary, French Lake, and Waterville Cemetery Committee, a member of the Geary Baptist Church and loved singing with the community choir: Singers of Faith. Due to the restrictions of Covid-19, a funeral service will be held at a later date at the Geary Baptist Church. A private burial will take place at the Preston Carr Cemetery in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Geary, French Lake, and Waterville Cemetery Fund or to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
