Marie Estelle Hooper (nee McQuaid)
1933-2017
Marie (Mom,Nanny) passed away suddenly on November 15th after
a brief illness while traveling with and visiting, family in St
Albert, Alberta. She has joined many family and friends who were
fortunate to meet and know her during her 84 years and leaves many
behind who wish she could have stayed with us a little
longer.
Marie is survived by her sister Willina Killeen (Pat), loving
children Wayne, David, (Paula), Paula Mullen, Eric (Bernie),
Karen(Dave Sheehan), Sonya( Ben Legault) and 16 grandchildren;
Joshua(Rosey), Whitney (Neil), Jeremy, Jenna (Santana), Tanya, Sasha,
Trish, Becky (Kev), Liam, Jon (Jill), Courtney, Randell (Irish), Logan
(Sam), Kate (Kaelan), Sidney, Alysha and 15 great grandchildren;
Jacob, Camara, Maxx, Malcolm, Rowan, Keegan, Aden, Reilly, Delaney,
Mackenzey, Figgy, Brecken, Gwen, Jordan, Will, as well as the many
Boston Hoopers.
Marie is preceded by her parents, Elmer McQuaid and Irene
Coady, stepmother Eileen Morrisey, husband and father to their 6
children, Reginald Hooper, her 2nd husband George MacDonald,
great-granddaughter Leah Satine Marie, and dear cousins George Hooper
and Therese MacDonald.
Marie lived her full life in Bedford PEI raising her family
and welcoming family, friends and neighbours from near and far. She
was very active in the Island community and with her church,
volunteering many hours of her time to local service clubs and
organizations. She also shared her home for numerous family and
community gatherings, her experiences and knowledge to support family
and friends, and she was always ready with a word of encouragement,
friendly advice or simply a listening ear. She loved being with people
and unconditionally welcomed and loved everyone into her home and
heart. Marie was always up for an adventure, big or small; dinner with
the grand kids or getting behind the wheel of a motorhome to drive
across the country. « Don’t invite me if you don’t want me, »
was one of her favorite expressions. She believed the house work can
wait if there is something more fun to do. Marie’s hands
made many batches of pickles and pies over the years; sewed creations
from hemmed pants to community organization vests; played many winning
hands of crib; and held the hands of dance partners. She was also the
heart of a large and diverse family nurturing each one and the
connections among them all.
Marie touched the lives of many people with her wit, humor,
warmth and pragmatism and she will be greatly missed and always
remembered by her family, friends and community. So here’s
to a 29 hand and an endless dance floor for Marie!
