Bessie Bartlett

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Bessie, who passed away on November 6th at Lincourt Manor, with her family by her side.

Bessie lived a long and beautiful life, one filled with family, friendship, laughter, and countless special memories. Bessie was married to the love of her life, George Bartlett, for 64 years. Together, they had 3 children; Brian, Brenda, and Perry. Family meant everything to her, and she especially treasured the time she spent with her five grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Christmas dinner at her house was filled with laughter and memories. Always wearing a smile, Bessie was kind to everyone she met and found great joy in making others smile. Her warmth and gentle nature left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Bessie was a hardworking and dedicated member of her community. She gave so much of herself to helping keep the Old Ridge Hall going, often lending a hand with yard sales, showers, and other community gatherings.

One of Bessie’s greatest joys was helping with weekly card parties. These evenings gave older community members a chance to get together, play cards, enjoy a snack and a cup of tea, and perhaps go home with a prize or two. It wasn’t just about the cards; it was about the laughter, the friendships, and the company. Bessie understood the importance of these little moments and worked hard to make them special for everyone.

She had a real love for games, especially Crib, Crazy 8s, and Crokinole. Whether she was playing to win or simply enjoying the company, there was always fun to be had when Bessie was around.

Though our hearts are saddened by her passing, we take comfort in knowing that she lived a long life surrounded by love and that she made the world a little brighter for so many people.

You will be forever loved and deeply missed Mom, Gram, GG, Bessie Bob.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful staff at Lincourt for the kindness and exceptional care you have given Bessie over the past 8.5 years. We are forever grateful for everything you have done for her.

A graveside service will be held at the Pomeroy Ridge Cemetery, Pomeroy Ridge, N.B. on Monday, November 16, 2026 at 1 PM.

In Bessie’s memory, donations may be made to Lincourt Manor, Pomeroy Ridge Cemetery, or to an organization of your choice. The family sincerely appreciates your kindness and generosity. Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.mehanfuneralhome.ca
