FEWER, ELLA MAE
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Ella Mae Fewer (May 1, 1932 - November 10, 2022). Predeceased by her husband, Charlie; her parents Laura and Peter Murphy; her brothers Thomas, Michael, Randolph, Ernest, Aloysius and her sister, Rosaline Synard. Leaving to mourn are her nine daughters and sons in law and her three sons and daughters in law. Also leaving to mourn are her 23 grandchildren: Todd, Jabez, Joella, Craig, Chris, Chastity, Russell, Ryan, Charlene, Cheryl, Calvin, Samantha, Karla, Taylor, Ellie, James, Andrew, Morgan, Jacob, Jade, Bailey, Laura and Hanna as well as her 20 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grand child. Also leaving to mourn, are her sisters Ursula and Loretta, her brother Cyril and a huge circle of family and friends. Mom was known for her wit, her spunk and her zest for life. She never shied away from hard work and commitment to her family. She relished a bit of fun and embraced new learning, especially technology which kept her connected to her "young ones." Mom was a devoted homemaker, an avid knitter and bingo player. She loved traveling to visit her children & grandchildren. Unfortunately, her health hampered her travel plans in the last few years. This didn't stop us from bringing fun to her. She always loved our family get togethers especially at her home in Parker's Cove. We will miss her daily calls, texts and her funny jokes and posts.
We would sincerely like to thank our sister Joan, who was there to support mom on a daily basis for the past three years. We felt relieved knowing that mom was supported, while the rest of us couldn't always be there. Huge appreciation is also extended to the hard-working team at the Renal Dialysis Unit at the Burin Peninsula Health Care Centre as well as the amazing staff at the Marystown Retirement Centre, especially Joan Power who mom said was "her angel". Mom was truly treated like a Queen at both places, and we appreciated that. Mom had a witty sense of humour, and she was known to tease those whom she cared about the most. She would want us to remember her in a fun- loving way and to stay connected. She loved life and embraced it to the end. We will miss the Queen of our family. "Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us, to let us know they are happy." An Inuit Proverb. The Fewer Family will be accepting visitors at Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church, Parker's Cove on Tuesday, November 15, 9:30 am to 10:30 am.

LYMBURNER, Louis Robert
Louis Robert André Dextras (dit Bézier) Lymburner (aka L. Robert Lymburner
or, to some former students, Lord Robert Lymburner) died peacefully at home on November 26, 2022 at the age of 78. He enjoyed a final puff on his pipe and died in the company and care of his family. Robert leaves behind his wonderful wife of 55 years, Delphine, his four loving daughters (Catherine, Jocelyn, Margaret, and Maureen (Nassim)), and his six grandchildren - Steven, Issa, Bayan, Manou, William, and Madeleine. Robert was born on November 21, 1944 in Montreal to Elsie (née Stedman) and Louis Marcel Lymburner. He was predeceased by his parents and his brother Louis. Robert completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Prince Edward Island (Saint Dunstan's) - where he initially met Delphine - and later completed a Masters in Theology at St. Michael's College. Robert was fortunate enough to marry Delphine in 1967 after the couple became reacquainted in Montreal (and was, thankfully, forgiven for his Stefan Anonymous prank!). Adventurous and young, they decided to move to Newfoundland - initially to Terrenceville and then Marystown where they raised four daughters in an old salt box home at the bottom of the bay. Robert's life revolved around education, either as a religion teacher in high school or as a student. Those who knew Robert will remember him as the consummate educator and consumer of knowledge. His intellectual curiosity knew absolutely no bounds, spanning from linguistics to quantum physics and including such esoteric topics as the study of cheese and Biblical Hebrew! Just weeks before his death, he decided to take another engineering course, knowing he wouldn't have time to complete it. Robert was "Google" long before the internet existed and continued, throughout his life, to be the go-to for absolutely any question one might have, never failing to provide a thorough, nuanced, contextualized response that often went on for hours (or pages)! For Robert, absolutely everyone (himself included) was a student and he assumed that we all have the capacity and desire to learn. Over the past few weeks, Robert received many messages from those he had impacted through his life and teaching. People shared how Robert had instilled his love of learning in them, they wrote of his passion for liberation theology and Christology as taught in The Jesus Book, and they wrote of the profound ways he had impacted their lives. As one writer noted, "Teachers are pretty magical that way: They get carried to the furthest reaches of the world through their students." Robert was deeply involved in his community, volunteering with the Lions Club from 1975 until just a few days before his death, at which time he reluctantly handed over the reins. He also played a lead role with Targa Newfoundland and he was elected to the Chamber of Commerce in 2009 where, for 10 years, he was "one of the girls." In his free time, Robert was absolutely never without a book. He was also a skilled woodworker who could patiently spend days, weeks, and, let's face it, sometimes years, finishing a piece to perfection. As a father and husband, Robert was a knowledge provider, a handy man, an entertainer, a lover of classical music, a saver of dental floss, a librarian, a tour guide, a memory holder, a maestro, a calligrapher, a crow whisperer, a wearer of ascots, a fierce advocate for proper spelling/grammar, and a man with firm convictions! We will all sorely miss this most incredible and eccentric man and we can only hope that, wherever you are Robert, you have a pound of butter, a book, your music, a pipe, and that the toilet paper roll is hung the right way. In honouring his wishes, cremation will take place. The Lymburner Family will be accepting visitors at Wiseman's Funeral Homes, Marystown on a date and time to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to Home Again Furniture Bank (www.homeagainfb.ca) or your favourite charity would be appreciated.

Meaghan is 20 years old and Alyssa now 14. They were her life! Family was everything to Andrea, no matter her own suffering and pain, she was always placing everyone's needs ahead of her own. And that awesome laugh, so unique and contagious! That was Andrea! We will miss you sweet Andrea but pray, "you are laughing and shining your own sweet smile all over heaven!' Stay safe in the arms of daddy and Paul and all of your relatives who has gone before us. Love you always and forever, until we meet again! May you have Peace, Perfect Peace!
