SAINT JOHN, N.B. — New Brunswickers gathered in a church in Saint John to celebrate the life of Elsie Wayne, who championed the community she dubbed “the greatest little city in the east” as its former mayor and a force to be reckoned with in Ottawa. Wayne’s family says the former New Brunswick member of Parliament died Tuesday in her home at the age of 84. “I think it’s safe to say there will never, ever be another person like Elsie Wayne,” he said. Wayne was married to Richard Wayne and they had two sons, Daniel and Stephen.
