Obituary of Pearl Eva Hoyt

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother Pearl Eva Hoyt on the 15 of April, 2017. Born in South Minto, NB on November 18, 1922, she was the daughter of the late Claude and Effie (Hardon) Barton. Pearl is survived by her children, Elizabeth, Winnipeg, MB; Frederick (Yvette Leblanc), Robertson’s Point, NB; Eric (Wendy Fitzgerald), Colpitts Settlement, NB; Bonnie (Roy Peters), Bedford, NS; Janice (Kevin Darbyson), Pierrefonds, QC; Darrell (Elizabeth Duncan), Maryville, IL, USA; Stephen (Patty Danaher), Rothesay, NB and Kevin (Christine Tanner), Quispamsis, NB. She is also survived by her sister, Ethel Carr of Minto N.B, 21 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren, as well as numerous nephews and nieces. On her husband’s side of the family, Pearl is also survived by Wellsley Hoyt (Etta) of Minto, N.B. Of special relationship to Pearl was her niece Nancy Robichaud (Debouver) of Rothesay, NB and Claudette Levac of Winnipeg MB. Pearl was predeceased by her husband Thomas Hoyt; her eldest son David and his wife Lynn (McAllister); her daughter-in-law Joyce Tingley (Eric) and her son-in-law Lawrence Larson (Elizabeth). She was guided by her faith and for many years attended Highfield Baptist Church in Moncton, NB. Pearl’s greatest accomplishment was that she was a great, strong mother to her large family. Pearl was also affectionately known as “Mothers” to many who came to know her over her long life. The family would especially like to thank the staff and volunteers at Bobby’s Hospice, Saint John, N.B. and the Palliative Care Unit at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Visitation will take place from 1-2:30 pm on Thursday, April 20th at Hogg Funeral Home, 10 King Street, Minto, NB. The funeral service will be held at the same location at 3:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Bobby’s Hospice, 385 Dufferin Row, Saint John, NB, to your local SPCA or to the charity of your choice. A life well-lived leaves its gentle pattern on the hearts of all and the world is a lovelier place because one person touched it with warmth and goodness and grace.
