Your dream DESTINATION WEDDING awaits on Tybee Island, GA

Susan Reid-Burnett

It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the untimely passing of Susan Reid-Burnett, 62, of Rehoboth MA, on February 20, 2023, following a brief battle with leukemia.Susan was born on September 14, 1960, to William (“Billy”) and Nancy Reid of Scituate, MA. After graduating from Scituate High School in 1978, she went on to study at Bridgewater State, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Suffolk University. Susan met Jay Burnett at a volleyball tournament in Boston, and the two were married in 1992. After a few years, the couple settled in Rehoboth, where they raised two sons, Braden and Ashton.

Susan always had an eye for home décor. Through the launch of her own firm, Susan Reid Interiors, she segued that gift into a long, successful career decorating homes, condos, offices, and boats from Nantucket to Naples, FL. Her talent and collaborative nature appealed to many; friends became clients, and clients became lifelong friends. Susan’s creativity spilled over into her gardens, floral arrangements, and tablescapes. While tailgating at kids’ athletic events, it wasn’t unusual to find the busy mompreneur manning a table adorned with white linens, fine china, candelabras, fresh flowers, as well as beautiful plates of homemade goodies.

Susan will be sorely missed by family members and friends, who universally describe her as loyal, sweet, compassionate, generous, and humble. She had a smile that could light up a room and a warm, quiet presence that made you feel you were the most important person in it. In her downtime, Susan enjoyed family beach vacations, Broadway shows, and being physically active, from playing volleyball and running to stand-up paddleboarding. She referred to her latest passion—rowing—as her “happy place.”

Susan leaves behind her beloved husband of 30 years, Jay, and cherished sons, Braden and Ashton; her loving parents, William and Nancy Reid; siblings Dana (Dennis) Bache of Miramar Beach, FL; William (Julie) Reid III of Scituate; and Maureen (Brock) Wagner of Naples, FL; and mother-in-law, Janet Burnett, and many nieces and nephews.

Family and friends are invited to gather for a special mass for Susan at Saint Mary of the Nativity Church, at 1 Kent Street in Scituate, on March 10 at 10 a.m. A celebration of life will follow that evening from 5 - 9pm in the Providence, RI area, at the Squantum Association Bakehouse, at 947 Veterans Memorial Pkwy, Riverside, RI (Presentation will start at approximately 5:30pm). To honor Susan’s vibrant spirit, wearing at least one piece of brightly colored clothing to the ceremony and/or celebration of life is encouraged. In lieu of flowers, please consider registering for the National Marrow Donor Program (bethematch.org), donating to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (lls.org), or simply committing an act of kindness—just as Susan did each and every day.

Christina Baker McKenrick

Christina Baker McKenrick, 65, of Seekonk, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on February 14, 2023 at the HopeHealth Hulitar Hospice Center in Providence, Rhode Island, after a noble, twelve-year battle with breast cancer. She was in the company of her family, hand-in-hand with her valentine and beloved husband of 44 years, Ross.

Born and raised in West Islip, NY, she was the daughter of the late Ellsworth L. Baker and Joan (Johnson) Baker.

Chris graduated from West Islip High School in 1975 and then entered Brown University (where she met her husband, Ross). Graduating with an A.B. degree in American Civilization, she then worked for Wright Type. She then went on to work for the Brown University Admission Office as the computer systems coordinator and then for the Brown University Management Information Services Department. After taking several years to raise her children, she returned to the professional world teaching math and science at School One in Providence.

Chris and Ross were members of Newman Congregational Church, UCC in Rumford, RI for thirty years. Their children attended church school and participated in the youth groups there. Both Chris and Ross served on nearly all the boards and committees, notably Stewardship, Missions, Trustee, Deacon, Scholarship and more. In 2020, Chris and Ross transferred to their current church, Seekonk Congregational Church, UCC.

All who knew Chris know that she was defined by her sense of caring. At church, she was a very active member of the Missions Committee for years.. Her mission work at Newman led her to make multiple trips to Haiti with Daehler Hayes, Suzanne Swanson, and the RI UCC Haiti Task Force.

Her caring extended well beyond church. In addition to raising her children and foster son, she extended her heart and her home to countless extended family members and exchange students. Chris radiated her love and caring to everyone—and all reflected it right back at her.

Chris was also a leader in so many groups: Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Reading is Fundamental, Great Books and many school committees and advisory boards.

Chris’s favorite hobby was “playing in the dirt” (as her husband characterized it). This involved cultivating flowers, vegetables, shrubs, trees—anything and everything that grew in her gardens (and sometimes out of her gardens, much to the dismay of her husband). In short, her home and her yard and her life was full of plants that she loved and nurtured.

Chris brought many pets into her home from her youth onward. In addition to many cats, there were three family dogs which must be mentioned: Princess (Labrador mix), Cinnamon (mid-sized terrier mix) and her beloved SuzyQ (Chihuahua-Pug mix).

Dance, primarily classical ballet, was an important part of Chris’s early life. She attended classical ballet studios in the West Islip area from a young age. This continued through her years at Brown University, where she also took modern and some jazz dance classes as well. Chris enjoyed recreational dancing with a passion and was often one of the first dancing at bars, concerts, weddings—wherever there was music.

Chris and Ross’s “Happy Place” is Briggs Beach in Little Compton, RI. Here they would spend many long days and evenings that would draw to a close with dinners, sunsets and campfires.

Christina is survived by her husband, Charles Ross McKenrick also of Seekonk MA, three children (Scott McKenrick of Paonia, CO, Charles Ross McKenrick, Jr of Paonia, CO, and Mida Lorenz of Corvallis, OR), one foster child (Tanasith Martineau of Providence, RI) and two grandchildren (Ruth Lorenz and George Lorenz of Corvallis, OR), and two brothers (Richard Baker of Bel Air, MD and Andrew Baker of North Scituate, RI). Christina was predeceased by her third brother (Arthur) who passed away in 1996.

A celebration of Christina’s life was held on Saturday, March 4th, 2023 at 11 a.m. at the Seekonk Congregational Church, 600 Fall River Avenue, Seekonk, MA 02771. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Chris’s memory can be made to a charity of your choice and/or one of Chris’s many, including:

Lindsay Anne Withers

Some people are just born differently and after Lindsay came along they broke the mold. All who came to know her grew to love her. More than a week has passed since January 25th when our beloved Captain Lindsay Withers gained her wings. Family and friends have had a little time to grieve but the heartache remains deep and it’s real. However, we need to remember that grief is not what she would want from any of us. That beautiful face is smiling down on us from above and we all have to remember she’s in a better place now and the suffering remains only for those of us missing her. Individually, we may have lost a loving friend, sibling, child, partner, auntie or soul mate but we have all gained a guardian angel.
