Martha A. McKinley of Riverview passed away on Thursday, March 28th at the Moncton Hospital after a brief illness. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Frances (McKeever) Glynn.
Martha was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She spent much of her life cooking and caring for her husband and four children. She also enjoyed her time volunteering with the ladies society of Immaculate Heart of Mary. Never one to show up empty handed, her plate of goodies was always appreciated, especially her legendary cream puffs. In addition to working at home, she had various jobs outside the home, many of them in sales. In later years, she thrived in working in real estate alongside her husband Bernie at Century 21.
Martha was a devoted Catholic whose faith carried her through life, in both joyous and difficult times, especially through the loss of her husband. She leaves behind her faith, love and guidance to help her family through this difficult time.
Martha will be sadly missed by her children, Joan (Terry) Belliveau, Peggy (Marc) Vautour, Peter (Paula) and Lynn (Dwayne) Simkins. Mourning the loss of their Nannie Martha are her 11 grandchildren, Andrew, Peter, Nicholas, Jessica, Kelli, Michael, Sara, Rebecca, Thomas, Brett & Wil and great-grandsons, Cooper & Shay. Also, leaving behind her brother Tom (Lucy) Glynn.
