Elizabeth (Ulrich) MacIsaac

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we, the family, announce the passing of Elizabeth (Ulrich) MacIsaac, 79, at the Wynfield Long Term Care Facility in Oshawa, Ont., which occurred on Feb. 17, 2010.

Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Pamela (Robert), Ajax, Ont.; her son, Ronald (Filomena), Concord, Ont.; and her two grandchildren, John Anthony and Collin Daniel MacIsaac, both of Concord, Ont. She is also survived by two brothers, Michael, Sydney, and Robert (Delores), Saint John, N.B. She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Mary and Theresa, both formerly from Big Pond, N.S.; and brother-in-law, Frank and sister-in-law (Frank’s wife) Ruth, who was much more than just a sister-in-law, she was a dear friend to Elizabeth. Elizabeth will also be missed by several dear nieces, nephews and other family and friends.

Elizabeth moved into the Wynfield Long Term Facility in February 2007 and she quickly became affectionately known to the staff there as ‘Lizzy’ and became very popular with many of the staff for her incredible and funny stories. Elizabeth’s family would like to thank the staff at the Wynfield for making her three years there so very special and full of fun, love and the ultimate in care. Elizabeth and her family always felt so welcome and special whenever they visited her and they were treated with the utmost kindness and compassion.

Elizabeth lived in many places in her lifetime. She began her life in Halifax, N.S., and then from there moved to Whitney Pier, N.S., then on to Germany and also Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Ontario and then prior to moving to be with her daughter in Ajax, Ont., she moved back to the Whitney Pier area with her husband when they had both retired. Elizabeth enjoyed many activities in her life, some of which were bingo, playing cards, watching baseball (she was an avid Blue Jays fan), watching hockey (she was an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs), listening to country music — a couple of her favourite performers were Elvis Presley and Shania Twain, she made apple pies that everyone who ever had them always wanted more, bowling, watching TV — Dr. Phil was one of her favourites for a long time.

Besides her parents, Elizabeth was predeceased by her loving and devoted husband, John Peter MacIsaac, formerly of Big Pond, N.S. Elizabeth had 40 wonderful years with her devoted husband before losing him in July 1999.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, Feb. 23 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in T.W. Curry Parkview Chapel, George Street, Sydney. Funeral will be held at Holy Redeemer Church, Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 2:30 p.m., Fr. Errol MacDonald officiating. Burial to take place at Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks.
