It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our
sister, Joan Theresa MacArthur of Antigonish. She passed
away peacefully at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital on
November 8, 2020 at the age of 62 after a lengthy, courageous battle
with cancer surrounded by her siblings.
Joan was born in Antigonish on October 6, 1958 to Walter
Pearson and Theresa Ann (Wallace) MacArthur.
She is survived by siblings, Malcolm, Dartmouth; James
(Barb), Vancouver; Anne (Tony), Vancouver Island; Mary, Antigonish;
Eileen (AB), St. Andrews; and Robert (Kendra), Antigonish; along with
numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
For many years, Joan worked as a dedicated personal care
worker with Antigonish Homemakers in Antigonish.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to
Joan’s family doctor, Dr. Jane Howard, and Dr. Mike
MacKenzie, Dr. Ron MacCormack, the dedicated nurses in Palliative Care
who made sure Joan was comfortable in her last hours, and the
emergency response team and ER staff at St.
Martha’s. A very special thank you to nurse
Heather Brander who gave exceptional, compassionate care throughout
Joan’s illness.
Cremation has taken place. Funeral Mass will be
held Thursday in St. Ninian Cathedral at 11:00, Reverend Donald
MacGillivray presiding. Burial in the parish
