It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Fernand Maillet of Moncton. Born in Scoudouc, he was the son of the late Hector and Lorette (Nowlan) Maillet.

Before his retirement, Fern worked as an electrician with CN. He was also experienced in construction electrical work and happy to lend a helping hand to family and friends. Fern was a proud 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus, Council 1310. Fern had a passion for hunting, spending time at his camp, and exploring the back roads on his ATV. He also enjoyed traveling with Phyllis and enjoyed his time at the cottage with his cousin, Laurie.

Fern will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 53 years, Phyllis (Melanson); his sons, Tim (Charelle) of Upper Tantallon, NS, and Mike of Kelowna, BC; his two cherished grandchildren, Luke and Gabrielle, who he adored; his sister, Janita of Scoudouc; his brothers: Aurele (late Aurea) of Moncton, Andre (late Alphonsine) of Scoudouc, and Royal (Charline) of Moncton; as well as many sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) where the funeral service will be celebrated on Saturday, June 7 at 11:30 am. Visiting hours are Saturday from 9:30 am until time of funeral. In honor of Fern’s memory, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick would be greatly appreciated.
