Obituary of Jane Pearl McKay

McKAY, Jane Pearl (nee Trecartin) - Passed away peacefully on March 29, 2024, at the Saint John Regional Hospital at the age of 88. Jane was born on February 27, 1936, in Saint John, New Brunswick, to the late George and Pearl Trecartin.

 She is survived by her beloved husband Gordon, her loving sister Marion, and her devoted son Lawrence McKay (Gina).
