Patricia Ann “Patsy” MacNeil, 78, left us peacefully on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at her home with her family by her side. Mom was born February 26, 1944, in MacIntyre Lake to late Fred and Annabelle (Perrin) Burke. Patsy married Malcolm and the two were each other’s lifelong companions and friends. They were blessed with 3 children: Freddie, Mary, and Stan.
Patsy was a loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was a remarkable cook and enjoyed preparing meals and hosting her family and friends, especially over the Holidays. For many years leading up to her passing she enjoyed reading, puzzle books, a friendly game of cards and Bingo with her friends but her greatest passion in life was family. Her grandsons looked forward to her weekly phone calls just to check in. She was the type of person that would always welcome you into her home for a chat and a cup of tea.
Patsy is survived by Mary (Joe) MacDonnell, Stan (Tracy) and daughter in law Wanda (late Freddie); 5 grandchildren, Chad (Candace), Jeremy, Jared (Allison), Keanan and Brady and two great grandchildren Freddie and Nellie; sister Catherine (late Jimmy) Cogswell and brother Jerry (Peggy) Burke along with many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Malcom, her son Freddie, brothers Herman Burke and Dan Willie (Liz) MacDonald, special cousin/friend Louie Bissonnette and long-time friend Camilla MacDonald.
The family wishes to Thank those who have extended emotional support to Patsy and her family during her final days. Moms’ solution to every problem was, “Go to bed you fellas”.
