The death of Frieda Adele Ness, age 80, wife of Allan Ness, of Belleisle Creek, NB., occurred at the Kiwanis Nursing Home, Sussex, NB, on Tuesday, July 10, 2012. She was born on November 3, 1931, in Joliffs Brook, NB, the daughter of the late Percy and Adele (Hughes) Northrup Frieda was a gentle and caring lady devoted to her family, always ready to lend a hand wherever she could. Mom took care of Gramp McConnell and then later her mother. Of course, grandchildren and great-grandchildren held a special place in her heart. After her Children were grown, Frieda became a Red Cross Homemaker and retired at the same time as Allan. Spending time outdoors was one of her joys, whether picking blueberries, gardening, handling the firewood, helping Allan with the Christmas trees or helping out in the garage. They went camping, snowmobiling, four-wheeling and motorcycling together. As a couple they travelled in Canada and the USA including Arizona and Expo ’86 in Vancouver. Quilting was a favourite pastime and all of our family as well as many others received her handiwork. Mom was known to her family for birthday cakes, flapper and blueberry pies and icebox rolls. Always the hostess, Frieda loved to put on the teapot and to use her good china. Frieda loved her church – Kings Kirk and was involved with the UCW, WI and CNIB.
