Mabel was a graduate of Sussex High School, The Provincial Normal School and received her Bachelor of Teaching and Bachelor of Education from UNB. She was a professional teacher for 34 years and taught at Sussex Elementary most of those years. She also taught at Hammondvale and Rockville Schools. After her husband died, she worked at the family business, Strand Theatre, and later after retiring from teaching she was very successful as a real estate agent in Sussex. Never to be idle, she also worked as a Welcome Wagon representative. Mabel was an enthusiastic volunteer for many organizations and was instrumental at starting and leading a Seniors Fitness group for 20 years. She will be remembered for her enthusiasm and energy; she loved her family, friends, her walking group, cards, quilting and social gatherings. Her approach to teaching was to find the strengths of each individual student and encourage them in their accomplishments. She taught life skills as well as academics to grades 3, 4 and 5. Mabel was strong in her faith and participated in many church activities.
