Obituary of Arthur James McAleer

It is with great sadness that the family of Arthur James McAleer of Geary, announces his sudden passing on January 21, 2020, at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born on February 18, 1947, he was the son of the late Herman and Mildred (Stennick) McAleer. He spent 34 proud years working with the Department of Transportation. Arthur's favorite past-times were hunting, four-wheeling, playing cards and spending time at the camp. However, nothing could beat his love of spending time with family and friends at gatherings and social events. Arthur will be missed by his beloved wife of 46 years, Dianne (Legere); daughters, Beverly Legere and Maryanne Davies (Robert); brothers, Doug "Skippy" (Brenda) and Brian (Cilia); sisters, Shirley Carr, Elizabeth "Betsy" Howe, Evelyn McAleer, Donna Casey and Cathy Carr (Derek); brother by choice, Donnie Stennick (Nancy); brother-in-law, Grant Legere (Cindy); sister-in-law, Carolyn Whalen; as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents, Arthur was predeceased by son-in-law, Thane O’Donnell; granddaughter, Martina Brown; in-laws, Edward and Hazel Legere; brother, George; brothers-in-law, Charlie Carr, Leon Howe and Charlie Whalen. By Arthur’s request, there will be no visitation or formal service. A burial will take place at a later date in St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery, Oromocto, NB. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of the donor’s choice.
