Marilyn MacLeod
It its with great sadness that
we announce the peaceful passing of Marilyn MacLeod on June 9, 2020 at
the Moncton Hospital. She was the daughter of the late Anne (Cleary)
and Douglas Penny of Halifax, NS.
Marilyn will be missed and
forever remembered by her children, Gillian MacLeod (Brian) and Scott
MacLeod (Kathryn); grandchildren, Lindsay (Connor) and Scott
(Kaitlin); great-grandchildren, Jada, Ethan, Ackley and Kimber;
Sisters Joan Clarke (William) and Susan Tanner as well as several
cousins, nieces and nephews.
Marilyn grew up in Halifax
before relocating to Moncton in the early 70’s, where she
has resided ever since. Her joys in life were her Church and helping
others in need. Marilyn was an active parishioner and volunteer at
Saint Bernard’s Church and was a member of the Catholic
Women’s League. During her working days she spent several
years at the YWCA helping younger women with special needs and life
challenges. She was also an active volunteer with the Girl Guides of
Canada when her daughter Jill was growing up. After retiring, she
volunteered on the Board of Directors at the Moncton SPCA. Her
relationship there stemmed from her intense love for animals;
particularly those who did not get a great beginning in life. Marilyn
always had “Rescues” she adored with her heart! There were
always multiple cats and a dog at home. Her last “soul mate”
was Monty, a Golden Retriever, she rescued from near death and
rehabilitated him into a fun loving and affectionate
companion.
The family would like to express
their gratitude for the loving care, understanding and compassion
given to Marilyn by the staff of the Oncology Unit at the Moncton
Hospital during her lengthy stay this past winter and
spring.
A memorial mass (date TBA) in
her honour will be held at St. Bernard’s Church in Moncton.
Marilyn’s final wishes
included, in lieu of flowers, donations to the Moncton SPCA (www.monctonspca.ca/en)
would be greatly appreciated.
