Marjorie ‘Mardy’ MacNeil
1925-2023
Marjorie «Mardy» Graham (Stairs) MacNeil –
age 98. With much sadness, we announce the passing of Mardy MacNeil on
November 29, 2023, a compassionate, caring and loving mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother and true friend to new and old. Mardy
was a very dedicated walker, lover of animals and an avid gardener
well into her nineties. Her active lifestyle enabled her to amaze
people at her youthful appearance and physical
abilities.
Born in Halifax, November 16th, 2025,
she was the daughter of the late Herbert M. Stairs and Vera MacDonald
Stairs. She attended Halifax Ladies Collage and Edgehill School for
girls. Mardy was active in the Canadian Red Cross and other volunteer
organizations during the war. She worked as a secretary with the
Halifax based firm, William Stairs Sons & Morrow until her
marriage in 1950 to Donald S. MacNeil at Fort Massey United Church,
Halifax before moving to New Glasgow, Pictou County. They later
resided in Little Harbour, overlooking Chapel Cove for the rest of
their married life. Mardy was an absolute lover of dogs and an avid
gardener well into her later years. She was predeceased by her
husband, Donald and her sister Mary Robinson. For the past year and a
half, Mardy resided at Shiretown Nursing Home where she developed new
friendships and was so appreciative of her nursing and support
team.
Mardy is survived by her sons: David, Graham (Carolyn) and
beloved grandchildren, Nicole (Bruce) Collings, and Steven (Maggie) as
well as nieces and nephews across Canada and in the United States. On
November 15th, 2023 her great-grandchild, Lake
William Collings, celebrated his first birthday one day before Mardy
happily celebrated her
98thbirthday.
Funeral will be at Little Harbour Presbyterian Church on
Saturday, December 2nd at 2pm, Rev.
Dr. Joon Ki Kim presiding. Everyone is invited to join the family for
fellowship immediately following the service.
Family flowers only. Donations in her memory may be made to
the Little Harbour Presbyterian Church, SPCA or a charity of choice.
Arrangements are under the direction of R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New
