Elizabeth Margaret MacDonald

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Elizabeth MacDonald, on December 25, 2010 in the Cove Guest Home. Elizabeth was born in Sydney to the late John and Mary “Molly” (MacIsaac) MacVicar. She was the last surviving member of her family.

She spent most of her married life on Lorne Street, where she had a large circle of friends. Elizabeth worked for many years as an office clerk with the Metropolitan Store on Charlotte Street in Sydney. She was a member of St. Theresa’s Church, the St. Theresa’s Ladies Auxiliary and the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 12 Ladies Auxiliary.

She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Norma (Rick) Reed; sons, Jack (Linda) and Kenneth. She also leaves behind the grandchildren she adored, Deanna (Dave), Suzanne, and Steven MacDonald, Kelsey Walsh (Joe); great grandson, Rory MacDonald.

Besides her parents, Elizabeth was predeceased by her husband, Norman and brothers, John Dan and James MacVicar.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful staff at the Cove Guest Home, whose kindness and compassion were a great source of comfort. A special thank you to friend of the family, Father Michael Rankin, who comforted Elizabeth and family in her last hours.

Visitation will be held 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, December 29 in T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel . A funeral mass will be celebrated in St. Theresa’s Church 10:00 a.m., Thursday December 30, with Fr. Jim Oliver officiating. Burial in Forest Haven Memorial Gardens.
