It is with broken hearts that we, the
family of the late Karen MacPhee, 74, of
Springhill, NS, announce the passing of our beloved mother, peacefully
on November 26, 2021 at All Saints Hospital, Springhill,
NS.
Born in Springhill, NS, she was the
daughter of the late Russell and Genevieve (Brundage)
McLellan.
Mom’s strength and courage was amazing
during her brief battle with her illness and her final days were spent
filled with love and support from her family and
friends.
She graduated from Saint Charles
Commercial School in Amherst, NS, and worked for a short time at
National Specialty in Amherst before deciding to stay home and raise
her family. She was a forty plus year member of the
Springhill T.O.P.S. group and held the position of their weight
recorder for many years. She enjoyed summers at her cottage
in Economy, NS, where she loved attending weekly Bingo with her best
friend, Wanda. She was always eager to find a great bargain
at a yard sale and she loved bass fishing with her late husband Don
and the numerous friends that they made through the years in
Economy.
Left to mourn her passing with loving
memories are her daughter, Sherry (Paul) Hardie, Williamsdale, NS, her
son, Brian (Joy) MacPhee, Amherst, NS, and her sister, Sandra Trueman,
Truemanville, NS.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased
in 2014 by her beloved husband, Donald; a brother, Larry in infancy;
brothers in law, Ralph Trueman, Frank MacPhee, and William MacPhee, as
well as her sisters in law, Beverly Ryan and Brenda
MacPhee.
The family extends a sincere thank you
to the staff of the Neurology Department of the Halifax Infirmary, the
staff of the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre and Dr. Gale and
the nurses of the 2nd floor of All Saints Hospital Springhill for
their compassion, kindness and exceptional care during Mom’s
illness. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her memory can be
made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Arrangements are under the care and
direction of A H Brown Funeral Home, 5
McFarlane Street, Springhill, (902 597 2361). A private
familiy graveside service will be held at the Rodney Cemetery at a
later date.
If so desired donations may be made to
the Canadian Cancer Society.
Sharing of memories may be made by
