Elizabeth King
1929-2015
Elizabeth King (nee Graham), 86, died peacefully on June 10th, 2015 at the Moncton Hospital with her family by her side. She was born on March 13th, 1929 in London, Ontario to the late Gladys and Roy Graham.
Elizabeth is survived by her husband of 59 years Ralston; children Brian (Phyllis), South Milton, PEI; Cynthia (Derek), Stratford, PEI; Linda (Paul), Ottawa, Ontario; Stephen (Michele), Coverdale; grand-children Ashley and Ian Dunsford, Ben King, Stacey (Mark) Bondt, Katie, Tom and Allie Cunningham, Erica and Daniel King; great grand-children Finley MacDonald and Jamin Bondt; sister Louise Fraser and nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents she was predeceased by her brother Edwin Graham, brother-in-law Donald Fraser and sister-in-law Marion Graham.
Elizabeth was a domestic engineer, wife, mother, sister and friend. Her husband, Ralston and four children, Brian, Cynthia, Linda and Stephen remember their wife and mother as headstrong and heart soft. She faced the life’s challenges with courage and she knew how to celebrate the joys and triumphs. She lived her life with attitude and spirit, had a wonderful sense of humour and loved to entertain.
Elizabeth had the great privilege of having a twin sister, Louise, who was always close by. They were best friends and shared much of their life’s experiences with one another.
Elizabeth was also a volunteer and a craftsperson who loved to create beautiful things with fabric. She volunteered with the Sir Charles G.D. Roberts chapter of the I.O.D.E., Y.W.C.A. Atlantic Symphony Orchestra and the UCW, St. Mark’s Unit.
The family would like to thank the Palliative Care Unit at the Moncton hospital and the many nurses and doctors who helped in caring for Elizabeth over the last few months.
There will be no visitation or funeral service by request of the deceased. Arrangements are in the care of Salisbury Funeral Home and Crematorium (372-4800).
If desired, donations to Friends of the Moncton Hospital, the Alzheimer Society of New Brunswick or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.
