A loving wife, mother, and sister Beryl is survived by daughter Kim Whittaker (Paul) of Saint John; sons: Troy Gordon (Jackie) of Upper Queensbury and Rick Gordon (Jackie) of Calgary; grandchildren: Kealy (Jordan), Dalton (Ashlyn), Matthew (Ally), Luke and Zach; sister: Barbara Spavold of Maple Ridge BC and brother John Spavold (May) of Saint John.  As well as many nieces and nephews and cousins.  Besides her husband, she was predeceased by her infant son, Glenn; eldest brother Clayton and sisters Betty Morehouse, Bina McLaggan and Berma Lee Spavold. 

Beryl was a member of the UCW at Nashwaaksis United Church. She enjoyed quilting, baking, and her time living in Fairfield, NB. Beryl and Ross were very involved in the Fairfield Baptist Church where they had many close friends.  Being a military wife, Beryl lived in many cities and provinces across Canada and met many wonderful friends along the way. A special thank you to all her friends at Lexington Landing for all their love and support. Beryl also received exceptional care throughout her illness. She was fortunate to have Janet and Joani from Bayshore Home Heathcare assist her in her home and the nurses from Extra Mural. Without them she wouldn’t have been able to stay in her home as long as she did.
