C. Marie MacKeigan
1952-2018
On December 19th, 2018,
Marie’s earthly journey ended peacefully with family members
at her side when her precious Heavenly Father took her to her eternal
home. Marie will be missed dearly, but her family and
friends take comfort knowing that she is in heaven with her Lord and
Saviour and they will get to see her again.
Marie was the beloved daughter of Allan and Helen MacKeigan
of Marion Bridge, Cape Breton, NS. She was predeceased by
her parents, and her younger brother, Hector. Marie was a
loving and devoted sister to Allana (Jerry) Horsman of Quispamsis, NB;
Anne MacDonald of Stratford, PEI; and Kenneth (Marilyn) MacKeigan of
St. Andrews, NB. Marie was so proud of her family that she
was often heard bragging about them. Her nieces and nephews,
Vicki & Jason Bettle, Joni & Drew Mersereau, Sheri
& Matt Taylor, Shawn & Melanie Horsman, and Kristin
MacDonald (Fiancé Richard Lambie) all looked forward to
laughing and talking with Aunt Marie. Her great nieces and
great nephews: Emily, Janelle and Juliana Bettle; Eliava, Isaiah and
Carissa Mersereau; Clara and Kate Taylor; and Gabriella, Judah, Caleb
and Micah Horsman, always brought a smile to her face.
Playing games, blowing bubbles and hugging were some of
Marie’s favorite things to do with her family and she was
always looking forward to the next party. Julie Sentner was
Marie’s “adopted” sister and she always looked
forward to their many treasured visits. Her many friends at
Hillcrest Village, in Saint John, and around the world, were also an
important and cherished part of Marie’s life.
Marie graduated from Riverview High, Coxheath, NS in 1970 and
then trained to become a nurse and midwife. Her nursing
career took her to Windsor and Sydney, NS. She also studied
at Atlantic Baptist College in preparation for her 20 year long career
as a medical missionary in her beloved Pakistan. She retired
in Sydney, NS and then moved to Saint John, NB in 2011 to be closer to
family.
Marie was so appreciative to have such a knowledgeable and
caring medical team. The wonderful care and love that she
received will always be deeply appreciated by her family.
Being surrounded by love and compassion was an amazing
gift.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Brenan’s
Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB E2K 3H6
(506)634-7424.
