Eunice Elizabeth MacFarlane
Alder Point
Our angel here on Earth, Eunice Elizabeth MacFarlane, left us after a brief illness at the Northside General Hospital on Saturday, August 19, 2017, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Alder Point on September 18, 1923, she was the daughter of the late Alex and Mary LeBlanc.
Eunice will be remembered for infectious laugh, quick wit, and her compassionate and caring ways. She was an avid bowler until the age of 88, and she knew how to cut a rug. She also loved a good game of cards and any family gathering that took place. For many years she worked outside the home as an independent cleaner, until accepting a position at Alder Point Elementary School as custodian. She was the life of the school yard for many children. On any occasion she could be seen playing hopscotch, jump rope, baseball and showing off her juggling skills until her retirement. She was an active member of the Blessing of the Fleet committee in Alder Point for 63 years. She was a devout member of St. Anne Parish, Alder Point. Eunice lived at home until her brief illness. She was a lifetime member of the A.N.A.F Bras d’Or, along with the Bras d’Or Senior’s and Pensioners Club.
