Obituary for Judson Edgett

1928-2020
Dr. Tom Edgett, 91, of Riverview NB, passed away peacefully Saturday, January 4, 2020 at the Moncton Hospital with family at his side. He was born in Moncton on January 15, 1928 to Judson Gurney and Lorena (Stenhouse) Edgett.

Loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother, Tom is survived by his wife Mary E. (Jill) Edgett (Mackenzie) of Riverview; five children Susan Edgett (Stephen Diamond) of Moncton, Jane Edgett (Brock Webel) of Bermuda, John Edgett (Charrisse) of Greenwood, NS, Anne Marcoux (Mark) of Hillsborough, and Mary Stienburg (Don) of Musquodoboit Harbour, NS; 15 grandchildren; Alex Battah, Sam Webel, Tara Timmons and Kyle Timmons (Janice), Thomas, Grace, John, Angus, William, James and Catherine Marcoux, Claire, Sarah, Erin and Leah Stienburg; four great-grandchildren; Sadie Timmons, Mackenzie and Alexandria Timmons, Robert Tingley; and dear sister, Jean Boby of Moncton and her children, Heather Budreski (George), Craig Boby and Tim Boby (Wendy) and their families.

An active alumnus of Mount Allison University and Dalhousie University, Tom’s medical career took him to Weymouth, Halifax and Toronto. Along with a growing family, he returned to his hometown of Moncton to specialize in Internal Medicine. He co-founded the Moncton Hospital Cardiac Unit with his colleague, the late Bill Turner, and later he established the Rheumatology Clinic.

Tom instilled in his family a love for the outdoors, where many family memories were made skiing, hiking and camping. In retirement, Tom and his beloved Jill, explored Canada and its north many times, a passion they shared. Tom was a founding member of the Aberdeen Fishing Club and spent many days on the water with life long friends. He also enjoyed time with colleagues and looked forward to their weekly coffee club.

His passion for local history led him in his retirement to undergo a large capital project at the Albert County Museum. He successfully secured private and public funding to elevate the national historical relevance of the property as it relates to Prime Minister R.B. Bennett.

Tom was known for his compassion, his remarkable musical talents, his love for engaging conversation and his seemingly endless reach for knowledge on most any topic. He will be missed by so many.

Visitation will take place at Cobb’s Funeral Home, 330 Whitepine Rd., Riverview on Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 PM. A service celebrating Tom’s life will take place at St. Paul’s United Church, 404 Cleveland Ave., Riverview on Wednesday, January 8, 2020 at 1 PM with Rev. Steve Berube officiating. A reception will follow in the church hall. Interment will take place at Gray’s Island Cemetery, Hillsborough at a later date.

For those who wish, memorials to Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation, St. Paul’s United Church, Albert County Historical Society or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Moncton Hospital for their exceptional care. Online condolences can be expressed at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca.
