Obituary of Mary Cynthia Keddy

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our mother, Cynthia Keddy, on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born June 3, 1944 in Saint John, she was a daughter of the late Percival and Hortense (Maher) Streeter. Cynthia was very well known and active in the communities where she lived a vibrant life raising her family. Her house was always a center of entertainment and a welcoming place to all. Her outgoing and generous personality made her a key part of everything she participated in. Her naturally kind and admirable qualities will leave a lasting legacy in countless lives. Cynthia volunteered with Meals On Wheels, was a catechism teacher, delivered communion to shut-ins, was involved in the OLPH New Church Committee, and was a long time member of her local church choir. She was involved in many competitive sports and clubs including the Annapolis Valley Hunt Club, Rothesay Pony Club, Rothesay Tennis Club, Riverside Golf Club, Rothesay Yacht Club, and was involved in competitive horse jumping throughout the Maritimes for many years. Cynthia is survived by her sons: Patrick (Tina), Michael, and Timothy (Kim); daughter, Jane; sister, Anne Kingsley; brothers: James Streeter, Richard Streeter (Nancy), and David Streeter (Lynda); grandchildren: Bryanna, Ivy and Chloe, Piper, Silas, and Jasper; and several nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother, Joseph, and former husband Donald Keddy.
