Obituary of Amanda Ward

It is with our deepest sympathies that we announce the passing of Amanda Lynn (Mandy) Ward, a beloved mother, wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister, aunt, niece and sister in law.  She passed peacefully in her sleep with all of our love and support behind her on January 15, 2008 at the age of 35.

Mandy's dream was to make a loving home with Billy and Connor and that , they accomplished together. She accomplished these dreams as well as many others during her lifetime She led a very full life while she was with us, lived every day to the fullest and made the people around her feel loved at all times.  She will be sadly missed by her parents: Clarence Ward of Sussex and Madeline (Kelly) Ward of Sussex Corner, her husband Billy Belding, her son, Connor Ward at home; her sister, Laurie Gaudet  and her husband Rob of St-Antoine; her paternal grandmother, Francis Ward of Gambo, NL; as well as her niece and nephew: Denika and Jayden. 

Mandy was predeceased by her maternal grandparents: Michael and Dorothy Kelly and her paternal grandfather, Simon Ward. 

Mandy worked at Shell Aviation in Edmonton, AB for the past 8 years and loved her work as a Customer Service Supervisor.  She made many true and loving friends along the way who will sadly miss her as our family does.  She was a very dedicated worker, mother and friend to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.  She had her own way of making someone else's day be better and brighter.  She fought a long and hard battle with cancer and we consider her to be a survivor for what she had to live with. She will always remain a survivor in our hearts.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the compassionate care of Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, (506-433-1176). 

A service celebrating Ward’s life will be held from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 11:00 am
