Macie, Jean Violet: At Lookout Ridge Retirement Home in Fonthill on November 9, 2022. Jean Macie (nee Wells/Woloszczak) in her 91st year. She will be forever cherished and sadly missed by her loving family and many wonderful friends.
She was born on May 1, 1931 in Toronto, Ontario the only child of her parents Wladyslaw (Walter) Woloszczak (Wells) and Teckla (Violet) (nee Celejewski). Predeceased by her husband of 42 years, Louis S. Macie in 1993 and her parents. She is survived by her daughter Cynthia (Cindy) Macie and son-in-law Ross Thomas of Coquitlam B.C. and her son Alan and daughter-in-law Dr. Christine Macie (nee Greco) of Sault Ste. Marie Ontario. She is also survived by her grandson Craig Thomas of Port Coquitlam B.C.; granddaughter Alexandra Thomas and her partner Scott Jones of Fremantle, Australia; and her great-grandchildren Amy and Blake Jones.
Jean graduated from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Pharmacy in 1953 with a B.Sc.Phm. She went on to help start up the pharmacy department at the new Toronto Northwestern General Hospital. Over her 55-year career as a pharmacist, she worked in several retail and hospital settings including Welland County General Hospital, Laing’s Pharmacy, Big V Pharmacy and Shoppers Drug Mart all in Fonthill, to name just a few.
A regular bridge player, she was active in local chapters of the Canadian Red Cross, the Welland University Women’s Club, the Pelham Hospital Auxiliary, the Welland-Port Colborne Concert Association, Welland Rotary Anns as well as the University of Toronto Polish Students Association and the Marie Curie Sklodowska Association.
Music was always a part of her life. She played both the piano and the accordion and started performing on stage when still a child. She loved to dance, especially to big band and polka music. She travelled extensively in the later stages of her life until she was no longer able.
Special thanks to the staff at Lookout Ridge Retirement Home and Rose Hill Lane for their wonderful care, compassionate and kindness. As per Jean’s wishes, a cremation has taken place and a ‘Celebration Of Life” will be held in the new year.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jean’s memory to a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
