The passing of Ruthene Doris Storey of New Bandon, New Brunswick, wife of the late Lawrence “Winston” Churchill Storey, occurred on January 13, 2026, at York Care Centre. Born on December 27, 1946, in McNamee, New Brunswick, Ruthene was the daughter of the late Emma (O’Donnell) and the late Robert Miner.

In addition to her husband, Ruthene was predeceased by her siblings, Catherine Schaufele, Georgina Price, Mae McGilligan, Jennie Stewart, Eileen Storey, and Inez Sutherland.

Ruthene was a cashier at local stores in New Bandon and actively involved in her community, contributing many years of volunteer service to the operation of the McNamee Recreation Center managing Bingo, (she loved BINGO) and numerous other organizations and events and always there for everyone. 

The family would like to thank the staff at York Care, Birch Grove for the excellent care and compassion shown to our mother during her stay there.
