Obituary of Irene Wetmore

The death of Irene Wetmore of Kiwanis Nursing Home, wife of Fred Wetmore, occurred peacefully on Monday, March 24, 2025 in Sussex, New Brunswick. Born in Markhamville, New Brunswick, July 1, 1931, she was the daughter of the late William Henry and Ada Elizabeth (Lines) Pagett of Birmingham, England.

Irene worked at Irving Oil Ltd for many years before retiring and moving to Cody’s, New Brunswick with Fred.  She loved sewing, crocheting, flowers, gardening and all animals.  She was an avid quilt maker, so much so, that we lost count.

She is survived by her husband, Fred; Fred’s daughters: Laura, Linda, Nancy, Jennifer, and Jill; her sisters, Mary Winchester of Saint John, Pauline Lawrence of Saint John; brother Clarence Pagett of Saint John; and special friend, Manford Johnston of Cody’s, New Brunswick.

Besides her parents, Irene was predeceased by her sisters Kathleen Michaelson of Los Angeles, California, Thelma McPhee of Saint John and brother Crandall Pagett of Beaverton, Ontario.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Wallace Funeral Home, 34 Sunnyside Drive, Sussex, New Brunswick (506-433-1176).  Cremation has taken place with no visitation or funeral service.  Interment will take place at Knox United Church, Markhamville, New Brunswick at a later date.
