    • On Saturday, December 7, 2019 we, the family of Maureen Lee Salter of Hantsport, lovingly said goodbye to an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, friend, neighbor and community volunteer. She meant the world to us and in turn, she cared so deeply for each of us that her greatest gift was helping us cope with letting her go. Maureen (nee Browne) was also predeceased by her brother, Thomas Wayne Browne and by Carl\'s son, Dave Salter.

      Our Mum had so many wonderful qualities. She was born in Windsor and raised in Falmouth, being the only daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Akin) Browne. She was very proud of her Irish heritage. Her father immigrated from Islandmagee, Northern Ireland. She was a graduate of Windsor Academy and Windsor School of Business. As a young woman she worked for Vic Cleyle\'s clothing store and later in life, Tatum\'s Fashion and Bridal.

      Mum was definitely a people person and often behind still chatting while Carl waited patiently in the car for her. Over the years, Mum enjoyed volunteering at the Windsor Elms, Hantsport Food Bank, Hantsport Memorial Community Centre, Hantsport Hospital Auxiliary and the Hantsport Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She was active in the Lockhartville United Baptist Church as a deacon and faithful member. She was also involved in and valued organizing the Apple Blossom Festival teas and the royal party visits to Hantsport. She enjoyed being a member of the Crown Jewels (Red Hatters).

      We were gifted with a wonderful, caring supportive mother who was our biggest fan cheering us on at sports, school events, pageants and in life. She never hesitated to volunteer to drive, chaperone, organize or fundraise for our activities. She wanted only the best for us and for us to be our best. She gave selflessly, not only to us but also to her extended family members, being a caregiver to several over the years. She was a huge fan of Canadian figure skating, especially Kurt Browning and was thrilled to attend skating competitions and ice shows meeting the skaters. She was a keen follower of the British Royal Family and their fashion sense. Mum loved the music of Rita MacNeil and Anne Murray and the opportunities she had to meet them in person. She not only loved people but also adored her Sheltie dogs. She had a very special place in her heart for a certain Schnauzer named Martini. A private interment will be held in Centre Falmouth Cemetery, Falmouth.
