D. Russell MacAskill
1926-2020
We are sad to announce the death of Russell Mac Askill on
Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020 in St. Martha’s Regional Hospital
after a brief illness. Russell was born in Bay St. Lawrence on Sept.
24 1926, the son of the late J. G. Mac Askill and Dolena (Mac Donald)
MacAskill. He is survived by his wife, Bessie (Mac Leod); son, David
Port Hawkesbury; daughter, Dolena (Doug) Upper Tantallon;
grandchildren, Erin and Keltie; brother, Gordon; sister, Charlotte and
numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents,
stepmother, Flora, sisters, Tena and Margaret.
Russell worked as a heavy equipment operator and loved
nothing more than a good book, « Scotch » music and
getting together with old friends and family.
Arrangements are under the care of Dennis Haverstock
Funeral Home, Port Hawkesbury.
There will be no visitation or funeral at
Russell’s request. A private graveside ceremony will take
place in Aspy Bay at a later date. The family would like to thank the
emergency staff at Strait Richmond Hospital and ICU staff at St.
Martha’s Hospital in Antigonish especially nurse Chelsea for
her kindness. Donations may be made to Aspy Bay United Church. Words
of comfort may be forwarded to the family at
