Helen Ann (MacDonald) Dolan
June 15, 1942 – August 26, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and peaceful unexpected passing of our mother, Helen Ann Dolan, in her little house by the sea on Skinner’s Cove, Nova Scotia. Predeceased by her husband, Gerald Thomas Dolan; her brother, Fred MacDonald; and nephew, Ian; she leaves behind to mourn her children, Martin, Helena (Dave Copp), William (Libby Hopkinson), and Katherine (Matt Schram); She also leaves behind her beautiful grandchildren, Victoria, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Henry; and her special friend and neighbour, Ed Smith. Born on June 15, 1942 in Halifax, NS, Ann was the eldest child born to the late Dora Helena (Legere) and the late Dr. Joseph Baxter MacDonald. Ann was one of seven children and leaves behind her siblings, Paul (Brenda), Chris (Regan), Marion, Jim (Sandra) and Bill (Charlotte); sister-in-law, Evelyn; along with many cousins, nieces and nephews. Ann spent her childhood in River Hebert and Stellarton, before heading to St. FX where she studied social work. She then moved to Ontario to achieve her M.SW, and it was here that she met her husband, Gerry, and settled for over 30 years in Caledon Village to raise their four children. Ann started her career with the Children’s Aid Society of both Peel and Wellington before settling in at the University of Guelph as a Therapist with Student and Counselling Services. Ann absolutely adored everything about her job, especially her coworkers. After retirement, Ann and Gerry returned to Pictou County, where they spent their final years exactly where they wanted to be – surrounded by the warmth and comfort of the Maritimes, especially the kind people of the community of River John. A service to honour the life of Ann will take place on Friday, August 30 at 2:00pm at McLaren Funeral Home Chapel, 246 Faulkland Street, Pictou. A reception will follow at St. George’s Presbyterian Church in River John. All are welcome. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to TASK (Tatamagouche and Area Service Klub), or the University of Guelph Alumni Association.
Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed, and held so dear
