Memories of Sarah Gilmore Sarah and Ted lived next door to us at 30 Aberdeen Dr. for over 20 years. Sarah was a fun loving lady who was always up for a party - tea parties, birthdays, anniversaries, hosting parties at her home or going out to eat. Sarah loved to travel - Shopping at stores, yard/craft sales at churches or homes - it did not matter to Sarah where she went she could always find things to gift to friends. In later years she shopped from Helping Hands at Royal Court and from friends in Moncton Residence. Sarah was a great talker - she loved to share stories of her life with Ted from the time they met in 1941, married April 9,1942, Teds years in the Navy and at Mt A, the birth of their pride & joy son Ronnie and their adventures in PQ and Labrador where Ted worked building Hydro Dams in the Bush, as Sarah referred to his time working in the remote areas. Ronnie passed while living in the Bush so to help Sarah overcome some of the sadness she worked in a Bank for awhile. Ted retired at 55 yrs in 1976 and they moved to their little farm in Berryton, NB. In 1991 they moved to Aberdeen Drive and enjoyed life until Teds failing health would not allow to work in his garden so he went to the Veterans Centre on June 7, 2012. Sarah sold the house and moved to Canterbury Hall in August 2012 then to Moncton Residence on Nov 17, 2016. Sarah being a people person continued to make new friends and enjoy visits and phone calls with old friends until Covid. Problems with her legs and hearing loss cut Sarah off from being able to enjoy visits during the later years. She has been ready and waiting to join Ted, Ronnie and her family in Heaven for some time so as much as we will miss Sarah we have great memories to keep her close until we meet again. Sarah - you lived a good long, fun and exciting life, endured much sadness along the way and now you can enjoy your freedom to fly around Heaven in your 0Slippers with Wings. Rest in Peace and God Bless from Your Morton Family. Gordie, Mary and Karen, Jack, Shelley, Ashley and Kristen and Deborah and Simon
