BROWN, Mary "Irene"

It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of Mary Irene Brown, 83, of Halifax, on November 27, 2020 in Hospice Halifax. Born on April 19, 1937 in Hadleyville, to J. Edward Carter and Mary Alexandra (Chisholm) of Hadleyville, Irene spent her formative and adult years in Halifax. Graduating from St. Patrick’s High School and Halifax Regional Vocational School in Halifax, Irene would go on to work for Household Finance Halifax office and Montague and Co. Realty. Irene is survived by son, Alan (Kyla); grandchildren, Zachary and Maren; sisters, Claire Muise (Ray), Elizabeth Stadel (Stan), and Ruth Anderson; brother, Robert Carter (Donna); several nephews and nieces. Along with her parents, Irene was predeceased by husband, Wilson; brothers, Joseph, David, and twins Theodore and Archibald; and stepmother, Viola Carter (Scott). Irene will be remembered for her love of English comedy TV, the New York Times crossword puzzles and her kindness to animals. Her home was always open to family and friends alike. A ready meal followed by apple pie was always available along with good conversation. In later years she enjoyed going to the pool with friends and keeping up with her grandchildren. A sincere thank you goes to the teams at the Restorative Care unit of QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax as well as Hospice Halifax for their care and compassion. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a decision regarding services will be made at a later date when restrictions ease. Donations in Irene’s name can be made to Hospice Halifax.
