The flags have been lowered to half-mast on the Town Hall Grounds in honour of fellow employee and friend Shawn Brushett who passed away on Sunday, October 5th, 2025.
Shawn was a valued and dedicated employee with the Public Works Department for the past 40 years. A man of great knowledge and many talents, Shawn could be seen operating the equipment, supervising a project or lending a helping hand to anyone that needed it. No matter the time of day or night, Shawn was available and ready to work hard and do his part to ensure the residents were put first. A quiet man that was well respected by the residents of Marystown and his fellow coworkers who all considered him a great friend.
Our deepest condolences go to his wife Kelly, daughter Joanne, son Kevin, parents Mr. Ben and Mrs. Jean Brushett, family and friends at this difficult time. We will always remember Shawn as an amazing employee but most importantly, a wonderful friend to all.
