Margaret Marilyn DeAdder
1942-2021
Margaret Marilyn DeAdder, professional clipper of coupons, baker of cookies, terror behind the wheel, champion of the underdog, ruthless card player, and self-described Queen Bitch, died on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. Marilyn, the oldest of four siblings, was born Marilyn Joyce in 1942, to parents Hannah and Edgar Joyce, in New Glasgow, NS. She grew up in a modest home, which still stands on the top of a hill where the Westville Rd. forks to the Town of Westville in one direction and the old drive-in in the other. Growing up with very little taught her how to turn a dime into a dollar, a skill at which she’d excel her whole life.
Marilyn loved all children who weren’t her own and loved her own children relative to how clean-shaven they were. She excelled at giving the finger, taking no sh!t and laughing at jokes, preferably in the shade of blue. She did not excel at suffering fools, hiding her disdain, and putting her car in reverse. A voracious reader, she loved true crime, romance novels and the odd political book. Trained as a hairdresser before she was married, she was always doing somebody's hair in her kitchen, so much so her kitchen smelled of baking and perm solution. Marilyn had a busy life, but no matter what she was doing she always made time to run her kids’ lives as well. Her lifelong hobbies included painting, quilting, baking, gardening, hiking and arson. Marilyn loved tea and toast. The one thing she loved more than tea and toast was reheated tea and toast. She reheated tea by simply turning on the burner often forgetting about it. She burned many a teapot and caused smoke damage countless times, leaving her kids with the impression that fanning the smoke alarm was a step in brewing tea.
Marilyn liked to volunteer and give back to the community. She was a lifelong volunteer at the Capital Theatre in downtown Moncton, which her sons suspected was her way of seeing all the shows for free. For all of Marilyn’s success in life, her crowning achievement occurred in the mid-to-late eighties, when, left with mounting debt, no job, no car, and no driver’s license, she turned it all around to the point in the early nineties that she had paid down her house, paid cash for all her cars, and got her three boys through university.
Marilyn is survived by her three ungrateful sons Michael (Gail), Paul and David (Trudy), whose names she never got completely right, and whose jokes she didn’t completely understand. She loved them very much, even though at least one of them would ruin Christmas every year by coming home with facial hair, and never forgot that one disastrous Christmas in which all three sons showed up with beards. Everything she did, she did for her sons.
Marilyn is survived by her three granddaughters Meaghan (19), Bridget (16) and Madelyn (5). While her sons committed unspeakable crimes against humanity, her granddaughters could do no wrong. While her sons grew up on root vegetables and powdered milk (funneled directly into the bag to hide the fact that it was powdered, fooling nobody), her granddaughters were fed mountains of sugary snacks as far as the eye could see, including her world-famous cookies and cinnamon rolls. Her love for them was unmatched.
Marilyn is survived by her sisters, Melda and Linda, and her brother, Lloyd, who still owes her $600* (*inside family joke – sorry, Lloyd). Marilyn is also survived by an incredible number of close friends, who cannot be named for fear of missing somebody.
Marilyn, ever the penny-pincher, decided to leave this world on the day Moncton went into red-alert, her sons believe, to avoid paying for a funeral. But, on the other hand, she always said that she didn’t want a funeral, she wanted an Irish wake. She didn’t want everybody moping around, she wanted a party. Marilyn will get her celebration of life when COVID-19 is over. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something nice for somebody else unexpectedly, and without explanation. We love you, mom, a bushel and a peck. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.
Her arrangements have been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007). Online condolences may be expressed at www.cobbsfuneralhome.ca

Net worth of Uhuru's latest appointees revealed
Health CS leads with over half a billion followed by Public Service PS Kimonye
In Summary
ACCOUNTABILITY: Trade CS Betty Maina and Health's Mutahi Kagwe.
Image: COURTESY
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe is the richest of the seven fresh appointees in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet.
The CS declared his net worth at Sh667 million, putting him ahead of his colleagues with whom he joined the Cabinet on February 28.
Also appointed was Betty Maina as Industrialisation Cabinet Secretary, PSs Solomon Kitungu (Trade), Simon Nabukwesi (Higher Education), Julius Juan (Vocational Training), Mary Kimonye (Public Service) and Enosh Momanyi (Physical Planning).
Kagwe stated he earned Sh2.6 million in 2019 from his firm TNS RMS (East Africa) Ltd, Sh2.8 million from Tell-Em Public Relations (EA) Ltd and Sh218,750 from TNS RMS East Africa Ltd in 2020.
Kimonye declared that she was worth Sh242.8 million having deducted Sh31 million in liabilities.
Nabukwesi on the other hand declared that his net worth is approximately Sh76 million, part of it being Sh6 million in salaries he earned prior to his appointment.
Juan, the Vocational PS, said he was about Sh80 million rich, some of which he earned in salaries for the year prior to his nomination.
He also got income from sugarcane farming and allowances as board chairman and from Kenya National Examinations Council.
Transport PS Kitungu said his net worth is about Sh100.7 million of which farms constitute Sh15 million.
He has rental houses of about Sh23 million, shares of about Sh1 million, a rural home worth Sh6 million, Nairobi home at Sh60 million, cars of Sh1.1 million and a Sh7 million bank loan.
Momanyi declared his net worth to be Sh17 million, being Sh15.4 million in non-cash assets and Sh2.4 million in cash at bank. He earned Sh5.6 million a year to his appointment.
State officers are required by the Public Officers Ethics Act to declare their wealth before resuming office and once every two years.
The endgame is to ward off elements of corruption that may eat into someone’s responsibility in running state affairs.
Uhuru asked the new appointees during their swearing in to fight corruption and eradicate cartels in the ministries they were appointed to.
Section 26 of the Act requires such a declaration to include income, assets and liabilities of state officer, his spouse or spouses.
Such a person's dependent children under the age of 18 years are also declared in efforts to allow the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission to detect and prevent corruption when top public servants are serving in office.
The declaration is among those that Parliament checks before approving a nominee for public office.
