Arthur & Millie Milburn
Marilyn, Greg, Sheldon and families announce the passing of their parents, Arthur James Milburn, who passed on April 23rd and Mildred "Millie" Elta (Colpitts) who passed on April 24th both at Forest Dale Home, Riverside-Albert, NB.


Arthur was born in Curryville on January 30,1931 the son of the late James and Addie Milburn.

Mildred was born in New Horton on March 22,1932 the daughter of the late Gaius and Kathleen Colpitts.

Arthur and Millie were married on June 30th, 1953 and lived their married life in Hopewell Hill raising their family. They spent countless hours in their garden, enjoyed local travel and enjoyed fun times with their family and friends. Arthur worked at Fundy National Park for 31 years before his retirement. Millie enjoyed taking care of Charlie and Bertha at her small Special Care Home in the 1980's. Millie was an accomplished knitter and enjoyed painting while Arthur enjoyed working around the home and maintaining the vehicles. They both were avid readers. They held a very special place in the hearts of their family but especially their grandchildren and great grandchildren and were fondly known as "Gram"and "Bub". They resided at Forest Dale Nursing Home for the past four years. The unbreakable bond of love and marriage saw them admitted on the same day and leaving just 24 hours apart. "Together Forever".

They will be deeply missed by their children, Marilyn Wells (Gerald) of Hopewell Hill, Greg Milburn (Trina) of Sylvin Lake AB and Sheldon Milburn (Trish) of Hillsborough; treasured grandchildren, Veronica (late Paul), Vanessa (Shawn), Karrie (Shane), TJ (Gilean), Terah (Steven) and Tabitha (Joe); precious great- grandchildren, Danielle, Nadia, Olivia, Garrett, Jacob, Gabby, Cameron and Benjamin. Arthur leaves a sister, Jean Myers of Hillsborough; Millie leaves a brother, Arthur Colpitts of Albert Mines and sister-in-law, Patricia Colpitts of Weldon. They will also be sadly missed by several nieces and nephews.

Besides their parents, Arthur was predeceased by 3 infant siblings, his brother Hally and sister Erma. Millie was predeceased by brothers, Wilfred, and Claude.

A time of visitation will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Friday evening from 7-9pm. A Service to Celebrate the lives of Arthur and Millie will be held on Saturday, April 29th, 2017 at 2:00pm with Rev. Carol Mullin and Rev. Barbara Haire- Jubb officiating. Interment will be in the Bayview Cemetery, Harvey, NB.
