Phyllis Audrey MacDonald
1956-2018
MacDonald,
Phyllis A., age 61, of Lochaber, Antigonish Co. passed
away peacefully at her home on January 26, 2018 after a very brief and
courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Guysborough, she was the daughter of the late John
and Hazel (Richardson) Kennedy.
Phyllis was employed with Scotia Bank in Antigonish for
forty-two years. She was a very kind and loving person who always put
her family and friends before herself. Phyllis enjoyed baking and
cooking but never gave up an opportunity when one arose to take a day
trip shopping. She loved seeing the beautiful results from her flower
gardens in the spring, summer and fall. Another passtime she enjoyed
was trying her luck at games of chance.
She is survived by her loving husband of forty one years,
Melvin and her caring son, Wade (Leah) of Lochaber; brothers: Joe
Kennedy, St. Andrews; John (Pauline) Kennedy, Greg (Gertie) Kennedy,
both of Fraser’s Mills and William Kennedy, Ogden; sisters: Rose
(Malcolm) Reid, Kingston, ON; Bertha Chisholm, North Ogden; Nina
(Raymond) Halloran, Guysborough; Sheila MacDonald, Calgary AB;
Florence (Buddy) Murphy, Lochaber and Ann Marie MacHattie, Copper
Lake; father in law, George F. MacDonald, Rocky Mountain and many
nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her brother
Bernie; sisters, Mary MacDonald and Judy Budgell; sister in law,
Annabelle Kennedy; brothers in law: Allan B. MacDonald, Rod MacDonald,
Fred Chisholm, Brian MacHattie; nephews, Dale Kennedy and Duncan
MacDonald; mother in law, Elsie MacDonald and two siblings in
infancy.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be in C.L. Curry
Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish on Wednesday from 2 to 4
and 7 to 9 pm. There will be a private family funeral service and
burial.
