the family of Mary Ann Buote MacLellan, age 95 years, announces her
peaceful passing on Wednesday February 5, 2020 surrounded by her
family at Wedgewood Manor, Summerside, PEI, her home for the past 6

with four young children to support, Ann took a job as a librarian at
the Summerside public library thoroughly enjoying her time serving her
community. She was also a long time member of St. Paul’s

impossible, she was active in the life of the church and its many
outreach programs.
Ann was passionate about many
things. She was a gifted seamstress and quilter, her lifelong advice
to her children being ” A job worth doing is worth doing
well.” She enjoyed gardening, painting, Celtic music and
playing card games with family and friends. Everyone who knew her
loved her and will never forget her grace, wit, and charm. She lived
by her words and actions each and every day.
