Obituary

George Wilfred Shipley
1931-2010

Shipley, George Wilfred

The death of George Wilfred (Wilf) Shipley of Fredericton, NB, occured at the Nashwaak Villa, Stanley, NB on July 6, 2010. Born in Amherst, NS on April 14, 1931, he was the son of George L and Juanita (Atkinson) Shipley. He was a caring brother, beloved uncle and loyal friend and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
After moving to Marysville he was an active member of the Marysville Baptist church where he served as a Sunday school teacher, Board of Deacons (where he was made a life member), Board of Trustees and other committees. He also installed and maintained the church sound system for many. He was involved in the Scouting movement for close to 50 years. He served as Cub Master for many years and served on their group committees after retiring from active leadership. He received many awards for his work with the youth and his last official act was when he inspected the Cub Camp and monkey bridge at the Marysville church grounds on May 2, 2010. In 1994 he received an award on Northside Recognitions Night for his work with the Marysville Cubs and Scouts and his involvement with the Marysville Baptist Church. He was employed for over 30 years at UNB in the Electrical Engineering Dept. as an Electronic Technician.

He is survived by one sister, Patricia Gray (Bruce) of Fredericton, NB; nieces, Laura Bates (Brian), Karen Doiron (Lucien); nephews, Alan Gray (Betty Ann), Michael Gray (Nazarene), Reg McGlashen (Mary), Ian McGlashen and several grand and greatgrand nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents; one sister, Mildred McGlashen(James) and one niece, Marjorie Elliott (Tim).

Visitation will be held at McAdams Funeral Home on July 8th, 2010 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. The funeral service will be held at the Marysville Baptist Church on Friday July 9th at 2 pm. Rev Laurie Fenerty will officiate. Internment will be in the Marysvill Baptist Cemetery. For those who wish, memorial tributes may be made to the Marysville United Baptist Church Building Fund, Yoho Scouts Reserve or the Nashwaak Villa Entertainment Committee. Online condolences may be made at www.mcadamsfh.com

Passing of G. Wilfred Shipley

It is with great sadness that 1st Marysville Scout Group announces the passing of G. Wilfred (Wilf) Shipley. Wilf passed away this beautiful July 6th evening at 7pm.

Wilf will be remembered for his 40 plus years of service to Cub Scouts and Scouting in the Fredericton/Rivorton area. Beloved by his boys he will be dearly missed by all of 1st Marysville. Most of you will remember Wilf in his wheelchair at important functions in our Scout Group. But a certain lucky group of Cubs will remember him as a dynamic and wonderful leader that molded them and showed them skills and ideas that made them what they are today!!

Please watch for Wilf's Obituary in the paper. Funeral will be held at 2pm Friday at Marysville Baptist church at 150 Cowperthwaite st. All Leaders are asked to come in uniform if able to attend.
Yours in Scouting
