Darrell (Boyd) O’Donnell Obituary
Darrell (Boyd) O’Donnell passed away peacefully on August 19, 2024 at the DECH, after a short illness. Boyd was born June 16, 1930 in Carroll’s Crossing, New Brunswick to the late Baden and Irene (Carroll) O’Donnell. It was here along the banks of the Southwest Miramichi River that his character was first formed. He loved growing up along the river and everything it offered.
He settled in Central Blissville, working for F.C. Alexander as a heavy equipment operator after spending time working with Bemrose and Kilburn, as well as in Labrador City, NFLD.
He married Marjorie (Sutherland), the girl he had first fell in love with when he was 15. He is survived by their four children, Michael (Patti) of Fredericton Junction, Mitchell (Christine) of New Maryland, Michele (Kirk) Horncastle of Fredericton and Maribeth (Tim Potter) O’Donnell of Charters Settlement. Grandchildren, Scott (Lisa), Andrew, Jeffrey (Jenna), Julie (Terence), Simon. Step grandchildren, Savanna Potter, Seldon Potter, and Great-grandchildren, Adeline, Aster. As well as, many nieces and nephews.
He is also leaving behind his dear sister, Marilyn (Todd) of Yarmouth, Maine, whom he loved deeply, and spoke and laughed with frequently.
He was very physically active into his 90s, splitting his own wood, gardening, picking berries, canning tomatoes, making pickles, and lending a hand whenever needed. He was an avid reader, loved history and was a great story teller, whose life experiences led to many stories that could leave you laughing or crying. On warm days, you could find him under the trees in the backyard where people stopped to talk and solve the world’s problems. All were welcome. He was known for his kindness and generosity, but he was also stubborn, strong willed, and set in his ways.
Above all he loved his family, and wanted us to take care of each other. His children were all with him when his time on earth ended.
He was predeceased by his wife Marjorie (Sutherland) of 50 years, bothers, Malcolm, Baden Jr., sisters, Winifred Shaw, Joyce Bruce, Lillian (Deedee) Raynor, and infant sister, Moyra.
“Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee…”
Godspeed Daddy, Godspeed.
