Earlene Wilson

  Muriel Earlene (Silliker) Wilson died suddenly and peacefully at the Moncton City Hospital on July 4th, 2015 at the age of 83.

  Earlene, Mom’s favourite name, was born in Miramichi, NB.  She was the daughter of the late Ward and Freda (Payne) Silliker.  She married the love of her life in 1952 and raised five children.  Mom had a passionate love for children and being a mom, grandmother and great grandmother gave her the greatest pride and joy in her life.  Thru the good times and the bad times Mom was always there to help the ‘kids’.  Her first love, however, was always "Dad" who she doted on, all the time, humming a little tune.  She was a strong woman, always managing to get what she needed or wanted in a very quiet and gentle manner.  She always enjoyed visits from family and friends as well as her 19 years of winters that she spent in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

  Left behind are Daughters: Barbara (Stephen) Chappell, Moncton NB and Beverly McKenna, Moncton NB;  Sons: Randy (Jackie) Wilson, Carstairs AB, Ricky (Darlene) Wilson, Riverview NB, and Bruce (Clara) Wilson, Riverview NB;  Sisters: Ella Murray, Miramichi, NB, Mary Mason, Moncton, NB, and Ruth (Jimmy) Berry, Moncton, NB;
