Patricia Irene Macleod (Crowe) passed away surrounded by family at home on January 14, 2017, following a courageous battle with cancer. Her wry sense of humour and concern for everyone but herself defined her to the end.
Pat was born in Stewiack, NS on August 29, 1943. She is survived by her mother, Ellen and her husband of 51 years, Colin, children, Glen Sisak, Mary-Ellen (Peter) Brown, Nancy (Kevin) Delano and Kim (Scott) McCarthy, her grandchildren, Christian, Kalee, Rachael, Eryn, Liam, Riley, Lauren, Emily, Matthew, & Amy, brothers Denis and Ricky, sister, Joanne and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by father, Elmer (Andy) and her brothers, Jimmy and Michael.
Pat’s passion was her family. She left the workforce to raise her girls, went back to work to support their education and retired (Dalhousie University, School of Human Communication Disorders) to enjoy more time with her family and friends, old and new and pursue her passion for crafting. She was an inspiration to the end; generous, loving and very determined. Pat was a doer and there wasn't a project or craft she couldn’t master.
Colin will miss her every second of the day, his wife of 50 years. Her children will miss her everything; her guidance, spirit, encouragement and strength, she is our best friend and represents the best in us all. Baking, puzzles, sea glass hunting, camp dinner and rock painting are just a few of the many happy memories her grandchildren will treasure.
Pat and her family thank all the nurses on 5A (VG site) and the Palliative Care team, your loving care for our mother will never be forgotten! In lieu of flowers the family request donations to Hospice Halifax (hospicehalifax.org), your donation will help make the dream of a residential hospice for Halifax a reality or a charity close to your heart.
Visitation will be Tuesday, January 17th, from 7-9pm and a Celebration of Life on Wednesday, January 18th, at 10am with reception following. All to be held at JA Snows Funeral home, 339 Lacewood Drive Halifax.
