Imelda Celestine (nee MacGillivray) MacDonald RN
1929-2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of
Imelda Celestine (née MacGillivray) MacDonald, RN (aka
Mom). She is predeceased by her husband, Douglas AC MacDonald, and her
immediate family. She leaves behind her children Imelda, Rhonda, Bill
(Indy), Shawn (Dana), Andrea (Rocky), David, and Blaine, as well as a
bevy of grandchildren (15), who fondly called her Ganzie, and umpteen
nieces and nephews and assorted in-laws. All of the above and many
more, including her dear friend Joan McKay, loved her dearly. A visit
with Ganzie wasn’t complete without having some of her
famous chocolate balls, biscuits, homemade bread, and maybe a
chocolate chip cookie or two. Imelda was a force to be reckoned with,
sharp-witted and multi-talented. She shared with us her many gifts,
such as cooking, sewing, and knitting, not to mention her wisdom and
her wonderful sense of humour. At 90 years of age, she quipped that
she was past her expiry date of 75 years because, as she said, only
the good die young. We would like to thank the caring staff of Garden
Home for the kindness they showed our mother over the years. We love
you Mom and we’ll see you on the flip side. In lieu of
flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the
Alzheimer’s Society of Canada in her honour is welcome.
Memorial service to be announced.Arrangements entrusted to the
Hennessey Cutcliffe Charlottetown Funeral Home. On-line condolences
