Brundage MacDonald, from sickness and frailty to joy and freedom with
his Lord, reunited with our beloved mother, Ella, the love of his life
for 73 years on March 21, 2019 at his
home.
He was born at Hardwood Hill Pictou
County, son of the late Kenneth John MacDonald and Lily Belle
Grant.
Dad was a
man of quiet dignity and strength who lived his life to the fullest
extent with deep love of his family and the extended family he
discovered as he searched his Scottish heritage, which he held
dear. Throughout his 97 years he had many accomplishments
and took on his various responsibilities with integrity and
passion.

he served in the Canadian Army in Holland and Belgium, until he was
wounded in action in 1945. After the war he worked as a
carpenter for the former Fraser, Mason & Fraser Ltd., until
1951 when he went to work with Robert Higgins Construction Company
Ltd., in Trenton as Superintendent. When he retired in 1984,
the fun really began when Dad & Mom, together conducted the
“Min-u-ettes Round Dance Club” for 25 years. He
was also an elder of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church (The
Kirk), New Glasgow, NS, the oldest & longest member of Western
Star Masonic Lodge No. 50 in Westville and an active member of Clan
