The passing of Marie-Rosalene “Rose” Theresa Guthrie, wife of Gerald A. Guthrie of Seeley’s Cove NB, occurred at the Charlotte County Hospital, St. Stephen NB on March 21, 2026. Born in Tracadie NB on April 7, 1947, she was a daughter of the late Pierre and Blanche (Mahar) Breau.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister, in addition to her husband Gerald, Rose is survived by her children: David Guthrie (Tatiana) of Seeley’s Cove NB, Kevin (Cindy) Guthrie of Pennfield NB, Michael (Shinalyn) Guthrie of Moncton NB and Shelley (Joe) McGrattan of St. George NB; her grandchildren: Matthew Wells (Jessica Childs), Michelle Wells, Alexander (Jade) Guthrie, Nathan Guthrie, Nicholas McGuigan, Joseph McGuigan, Patrick Guthrie, Emilie Guthrie, Owen Guthrie and Kendall Guthrie; great-grandchildren: Hudson Wells, Kai Childs, Eli Wells, Sawyer Wells and Penelope Guthrie; one sister: Marguerite (Douglas) Cooke of Utopia NB; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Prior to raising her family, Rose worked in various locations including her parent’s restaurant, Breau’s Diner, in St. George and for Connors Brothers in Blacks Harbour. Known for being a caring and giving soul, Rose was very active with the Girl Guides of Canada being not only a leader for the local chapter but once held the position of Commissioner for the region. In her free time, she enjoyed going fishing with Gerald and spending time out in her garden. Above all, Rose loved nothing more than to be in the company of her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren who brought her so much joy. Her love and devotion will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
