Melissa Dawn Beney

The passing of Melissa Dawn Beney occurred unexpectedly at her residence in Beaver Harbour NB on April 15, 2019. Born in Saint John NB on June 17, 1982, she was a daughter of H. Charlene (O'Neill) Beney and the late Carl E. Beney. A loving mother, daughter, sister, niece and friend, Melissa will be sadly missed by her children: Christopher Beney and Clara Beney both of Beaver Harbour NB; her mother: H. Charlene Beney of Beaver Harbour NB; brothers: Darren O'Neill of Beaver Harbour NB, Gary Beney (Jennifer) of Saint John NB and Todd Rivers of Oshawa ON; nieces: Kaylee Bradford and Shay-Lynn Hatcher; nephews: Garrick Beney and Isaac Beney; several aunts, uncles and cousins. Melissa was recently predeceased by her father, Carl Ernest Beney.

Melissa was currently employed with Cooke Aquaculture where she worked in the Quality Control Department. A quiet soul, Melissa enjoyed knitting and attending local craft fairs to sell her creations. She always had a smile for everyone she met and was willing to help anyone in need. She was the best mother to her children and a blessing to have as a daughter and friend. She enjoyed family gatherings and looked forward to celebrating any occasion that would bring the family together. Melissa loved Christmas time and was known to leave her lights and tree up a little longer than the rest of us. Her caring and thoughtful heart will truly be missed by all who knew her.
