Stanley Russell Fenton
1933-2020
Stanley Russell Fenton, 86, of Kenneth E. Spencer Home,
formerly of Hillsborough, passed away peacefully on October 14th,
2020.
Stanley was born in Curryville, Albert County on December 21st, 1933, the son of the late Russell S. and Muriel G. (Hawkes) Fenton.
Stan graduated from Hillsborough High School. He worked for
CN in the Employee Relations Department as a trainer and supervisor
until his retirement. He was a member of the Curryville
United Church. He enjoyed socializing with friends and family,
reminiscing about "the good ol' days" when
he met his wife Shirley and had a band called Stan Fenton
& Good Tymes Band. He loved country music and
entertaining crowds. He played at many establishments over
the years and was very well known. It was an
honour and proud moment in his life when he was officially inducted
into the New Brunswick Music Hall of Fame just last year. He
was also an avid hunter, having great success with big game
over the years. He enjoyed being outdoors and in the woods.
Stan was a fixture at the Hillsborough Irving and
Cooke's Kwik Mart, always with a smile and "How are you
today?" He never missed a day when he was
able to be there with his buddies and share in what was going
on in the community. When the time came he couldn't be at
home anymore he felt blessed to be able to share a room with
his sweetheart, Shirley, until the end at Kenneth Spencer
Memorial Home. He cherished every memory and would want
everyone to remember the good times. He will be
remembered for his kind and generous heart. "Although it's
difficult today, to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory
comfort you tomorrow."
He will be deeply missed by his wife, Shirley Fenton of
Moncton; son, Shayne Fenton (Bonny) of Riverview; and brother-in-law,
Ralph "Bob" G. Wells of Hillsborough and nephew
Scott Wells of Hillsborough. He will also be missed by several
great nieces and nephews and by many
friends.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his sister-in-law, Ellen Wells and nephew, Stephen Wells.
