HANEY, MARY JOANNE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Joanne Haney of Fredericton, NB. Joanne passed away peacefully at home on October 19, 2006 after a courageous battle with cancer. Joanne was born in Saint John, NB on June 21, 1942. She was predeceased by her parents, Mary Lillian (Pitt) Haney and Harold James Haney. She is survived by her brother, Murray and special dog, Kobe; cousins, Peter and Paula Coleman; Conrad and Pam Haney of Saint John, as well as several other relatives. Joanne, a retired civil servant for the Province of New Brunswick, was a devoted daughter and sister. For all her friends, both old and new, she was loyal and true. She also held a very special place in her heart for the care and compassion of Dr. Tom Peters and Dr. Heather Logan, who journeyed with her throughout her illness. Joanne's honesty and sense of humour brightened our days. Throughout her battle with cancer, she embodied strength, dignity and absolute faith that when her earthly flight was over, she would find peace and eternal happiness in the comfort of Our Lord. Joanne's family and friends would like to thank the staff of the Oncology departments at the DECH and Saint John Regional Hospital; the Extra Mural nurses and Red Cross homemakers who enabled Joanne to fulfill her wish to spend her last days with us at home. Visitation will take place at York Funeral Home, 302 Brookside Drive on Sunday from 1 to 4 pm. We invite you to a celebration of Joanne's life at St. Dunstan's Roman Catholic Church on Monday, October 23, 2006 at 12 pm with Father Gerald M. White as celebrant. A reception will follow at the Monsignor Boyd Family Centre. Interment will take place at Cedar Hill Greenwood Cemetery, Saint John, NB on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 9 am.
