It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of
Donald Edward MacLaughlin at the DECH on November 20, 2019.
He was born January 30th, 1929 in Acton NB. The
son of the late Eden and Bessie (Dykeman) MacLaughlin, he was the last
surviving member of his immediate family.
Don will be greatly missed by his wife Barbara (Williams) of
51 years. He is survived by nieces Coreen White and Sharon
Cogswell and her family, also by brother-in-law David Williams of
Harvey, sisters-in-law Edna Dewer of Saint John, Bessie Messer
(Vaughn) of Fredericton and Donna Williams of Harvey as well as
several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers
Russell (Late Ada), Stanley (Late Jean), nephew Ivan MacLaughlin also
by several brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
Don was a farmer, gardener, woods worker and
carpenter. He spent many hours in his workshop making lawn
chairs, lighthouses, windmills and a water wheel for his pond, on
which he built a bridge across. He was most proud of the
baby sleigh and rocking chair that he built.
At his request, there will be no visitation or funeral
service. Burial will take place at a later date in the Acton
Cemetery.
For those who wish to make donations in memory of Don, we
suggest the Sherry Williams Scholarship Fund at Harvey High School or
to a charity of your choice.
Bishop’s Funeral Home has been entrusted with the
arrangements.
