Hope had a green thumb and wanted to share her plants. She enjoyed being able to speak French to the young people she encountered. She seemed to know every street person in the city and always wanted to give them a prayer card or a granola bar. Hope is survived by her brothers, Rev. William (Bill) MacMullin (Anne), George MacMullin (Mary McMahon) all of Fredericton and Pastor John MacMullin (Mona) of Christie Ridge; nieces, Sarah (Duane), Jennifer; nephew, David; uncle, Carl Jamieson (Barb); aunts, Shirley Jamieson and Ruth McMullin; many cousins.
