Constance “Connie” MacKinnon
1959-2018
It is with deep sadness that we announce
the passing of Connie MacKinnon on May
23, 2018 at the age of 59. Connie passed away peacefully in her home,
surrounded by her loving family. She was a generous and caring soul
who loved deeply and unconditionally.
Born on May 22, 1959, she was the
daughter of Ernie Mrazek and the late Eleanor
Mrazek.
Connie will be deeply missed by her
husband Bill, daughter Sarah, son Paul, daughter-in-law Allie; father
Ernie, her dedicated aunt and uncle Sheila and Donnie Gouthro; her
siblings Barb, Nancy, Robbie and Ernie Mrazek and sister-in-law Kate
Mrazek; her cousins Paula Green (Will, Thomas, Sully and Charlie) and
Matthew Gouthro (Beth and Cole); her niece Kirsti Mrazek and nephew
Tyler Mrazek; her mother-in-law Dorothy MacKinnon; and all of her
wonderful friends, neighbours and colleagues.
Connie grew up in Newfoundland and New
Brunswick before attending St Francis Xavier University, where she met
Bill in 1977. Connie and Bill were married in 1980 and lived and
raised their two children in Calgary before retiring to Sackville, New
Brunswick in 2014, shortly after Connie’s diagnosis of ALS.
Connie endured her misfortune with smiles, laughter and love, never
allowing the disease to steal her joy. Her life was an example to all
of us who are left behind; she truly showed us how to live a life of
love.
A special thank-you goes out to Denise
and Kyleigh for the wonderful care and friendship they provided in
looking after Connie, as well as to Dr. Andrea Wall and Dr. Coleen
O’Connell, and to Rebecca, Melony, Cynthia, Carol, Laurie
and the other Extra Mural team members for their
dedication.
Donations in memory of Connie may be
sent to the ALS Society of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia or the Stan
Cassidy Centre Foundation in Fredericton, New
Brunswick.
A funeral service to honour
Connie’s life and to say our final goodbyes will be held at
Jones Funeral Home at 70 Bridge Street
(506-364-1300) in Sackville at 3:30 on Friday, May 25.
Sharing of memories and condolences may
