Alice MacDougall
1936-2020
It is with great sadness that we, the family of Alice
Elizabeth MacDougall, of Trenton, announce her passing on March 12th,
2020, surrounded by her loving family, after a very brief but brave
battle with cancer. Born in Trenton October 24th, 1936, she was a
daughter of Vince and Agnes McGuigan.
Alice is survived by her son, Jim (Dawn) Hayman, daughters,
Lisa (Paul) Demetre and Janet (Roger) Savoie, and son-in-law, Bruce
(Paula) Rodgers. Nannie was loved dearly by her grandchildren, Kelly
(Mark Stinson) Hayman, Kenda Hayman, Freddy (Erin) MacKay, Riley
Bennett (Teagan Lombardo), Dylan Bennett (Brianna Jobe), Amanda
(Kirk)McCarville, Chris Savoie (Hannah Waith), Jerry (Amy) Rodgers,
Jennifer (Mark) MacLean and Allison (Buddy) Law, as well as 17
great-grandchildren. She is also survived by sisters, Mary Lennon,
Winnie (Wally) Gray and brother, Donald (Beverly) McGuigan; sisters
and brothers-in-law, Marie (Rupert) Moores, Rita Love, Percy Hayne and
Noreen McGuigan.
Besides her parents she was predeceased by her husband, Joe
MacDougall, son, Paul Hayman, and daughter, Connie Rodgers, brothers,
Jim (Sonny) McGuigan, Edward McGuigan and cousin, Isabel
Hayman.
She will be lovingly remembered by the Doucette family and
also her Ladies from Newfoundland, Velda Hardy and Irene Sparkes. Our
Ladies truly were angels and allowed her to stay in her own home,
where she most wanted to be. We will be eternally grateful for the
love and support they gave to Mom and to our family.
Alice worked tirelessly and selflessly, caring for her
children and husband, always putting others before herself. She was
humble and kind with a quiet strength that we could always count on to
guide us whenever we needed it. Being together was what was most
important to her and we have wonderful memories of large family meals
and gatherings, all of which she made to seem so effortless and
enjoyed so much.
Visitation will take place on Sunday, March 15th at R.H.
Porter Funeral Home, 73 High St., Trenton from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. Funeral
mass will be at St. John The Baptist Church New Glasgow, Monday,
March16th at 2pm, with Fr. Tom MacNeil officiating. Burial will be in
Christ the King Cemetery, Trenton.
The family would like to thank Dr. Tom Park and Dr. David
King who managed her Parkinson’s over the years and allowed
her to live her fullest life. Dr. Tolba who was so compassionate and
provided excellent care during our visits to the ER. Also, the VON
caregivers through the years, Dr. Krawczyk, Dr. Farrell and the
Palliative Care nurses who made it a little easier for us to say
goodbye.
If desired, donations in her memory may be made to
Parkinson’s Society Canada or the Palliative Care Unit c/o
Aberdeen Health Foundation. We were blessed to have had her as our
mother, grandmother and sister as long as we did, she will be dearly
missed.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Alice MacDougall 19362020..
