Born in Melford, Inverness Co., on December 23, 1930 she was the daughter of Hugh & Cassie (MacInnis) MacMaster. Mom was a devote Catholic, humble lady, loving mother, nana, friend and neighbour. Her door was always open to make sure everyone had a bed to sleep in & were fed, including the furry & feathered friends. Nana’s cookies, pies and biscuits were always a popular staple in the cupboard. Mom enjoyed playing cards, bingo and entertaining her friends. She was a member of the Judique Altar Society, parish lecturer and choir member, Kildonan Senior Citizens Club and was honored to be one of the first Eucharistic Ministers. One of her memorable accomplishments in her community involvement was being instrumental in bringing a Vietnamese family to Judique.

The family would like to thank the Inverness County Homecare workers, Dr. Eagar and nurses of the ICMH & Palliative Care Dr. Ritter and nurses Lori Anne & Johnena, for their compassion and excellent care.
