Mary Jane (Graham) MacDonald
1925-2020
MacDONALD (Graham), Mary Jane –
Judique / St. Peter’s. On Tuesday, September
1, 2020, Mary Jane MacDonald passed away peacefully at the age of 95
in the Richmond Villa, St. Peter’s. She was the wife of the
late Archie MacDonald and the daughter of the late Angus John and
Euphemia (Chisholm) Graham.
Mary was a very proud “Judiquer” who was able to
stay comfortably in her own home until her ninety-first birthday due
to the kindness and support of her nieces and nephews, especially
Tommy, Allan and Marlene Graham and Carol Oliver. She was very close
to her many nieces and nephews and they could always count on a phone
call from her with best wishes on their birthdays. Mary appreciated
her many cherished neighbours and friends in Judique who not only gave
her rides and paid her visits, but continued to visit with her in her
new home in St. Peter’s. She was a member of St.
Andrew’s Parish, Judique and a volunteer with many parish
and community organizations. Mary had a phenomenal memory and enjoyed
sharing her expertise with others. Many sought her knowledge of
historical events and genealogy in Inverness County and in Judique in
particular.
She is survived by her brother, Duncan Graham, Moncton;
brother-in-law, Richard Felix, Ontario; many nieces and nephews,
grandnieces, grandnephews and godchild, Mary Elizabeth (MacMaster)
MacInnis. She was predeceased by her husband, Archie MacDonald;
sisters, Catherine Oliver and Anne Gillis; brothers, John, Bill,
Vincent and Francis Graham; brothers-in-law, Robert Oliver, Angus
Gillis, Sam Batherson; sisters-in-law, Margaret, Monica, Louise and
Kaddie Graham, Mary Flora Batherson and Florence Felix. Mary and her
family were very grateful for the care and companionship she received
from the staff and residents at Richmond Villa.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, a private family funeral will
be held in St. Andrew’s Parish, Judique. There will be no
visitation. Donations in Mary’s memory may be made to St.
Andrew’s Cemetery Fund, Judique, the Richmond Villa
Recreation Fund or to a charity of one’s choice.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Dennis Haverstock
